4 2 Published Jul 08, 2024, Updated Nov 04, 2024 Another zucchini recipe that’s always been a staple in our household every summer is my healthy zucchini bread. And since a few people have asked if that recipe can be used to make muffins, I thought I would just develop a healthy zucchini muffin recipe to share with you! This recipe is similar to the quick bread recipe, but I reduced the amount of maple syrup, increased the applesauce, used all whole wheat pastry flour and upped the flour amount to fill 12 muffin cups....
Anyway, the meals are usually good. There have been a few stinkers. But every once in awhile, something completely blows me away (I have another one we made a couple of weeks ago where I literally ate the leftovers every day for one or more meals. And I’m not super into leftovers. I’ll share it soon.) This recipe for Herbed Steak with Orzo Caprese Salad was one that everyone in my family loved....

I don’t know about you, but if I see a recipe that needs me to soak anything overnight, I run away! I just can’t seem to think that far ahead. If I want to make something, I want to make it NOW, not tomorrow. Which is why I’ve never made homemade almond milk, until now. Because I have discovered that there is no need to soak your almonds overnight to make almond milk....

People love their Instant Pots for dry beans. Sara has a recipe for Brazilian Black Beans that people are crazy for. But I cannot, cannot get beans to work in my Instant P0t (and before anyone claims it’s my elevation, I live basically at sea level, so that’s not it. We’ve gotten a lot of requests for a pressure cooker version of our Red Beans and Rice and I have come to the conclusion that it can’t be done without soaking the beans first, and if I have to soak them, I feel like it negates the benefits of the pressure cooker and I would just rather cook them in my slow cooker....

0 0 Published Jul 27, 2024, Updated Aug 20, 2024 But, packing my kids lunch and making sure they’re nourished before an afternoon of play is a whole different ball game.
