Every Saturday and every Sunday for the past few weeks I’ve been waking up wanting pancakes. I’m not a huge breakfast eater. A simple bowl of cereal or loaded fruit smoothie will do the trick but every once in a while, I just want something for breakfast that just screams “weekend!” But, our weekends have [...]

Are you a breakfast eater, yay or nay? I’m always baffled by people who don’t eat breakfast. Usually my stomach is rumbling within about a half of a second of my alarm going off. Also, I love food, and breakfast is a good excuse to eat…food! We’ve always heard breakfast is the most important meal [...]

Last week Funk had a week of “Funemployment” before he starts at his brand spankin’ new job so we decided to take a day trip together somewhere new (to us). Susie always takes the best day trips, so I asked for her recommendation and she said her all time favorite is Ogunquit, Maine. It’s only [...]

I’ve declared my love for a good tofu scramble good number of times on the blog before. They’re so satisfying with all the protein from the tofu, and they’re a great way to toss in any random mix of fresh or leftover ingredients. I had about a cup of grilled summer squash leftover from our [...]

Ooooo, I love this giveaway I have for you. I also love breakfast. It’s actually my least favorite meal of the day, but I love breakfast because it’s so important. It’s the meal that gets your day off to a good start. It’s the meal that fuels your morning. It’s an opportunity to jam pack [...]

Whenever I travel, whether it be a road trip (hate ‘em) or a cross country flight, my eating always gets out of whack. It’s not that I have such regimented eating habits, I’m just so used to eating an abundance of whole grains, fruits and veggies, home-cooked food and snacking that when I deviate from [...]

Back in the day, when I was a wee 4th grader, I became lactose intolerant, literally overnight. Gone were the cake and ice cream at birthday parties, hellooooo chalky, disgusting Lactaid pills I’d shove under the cheese of a slice of pizza so I could tolerate it. Ironically, my dairy allergy is what brought me [...]

 I thought I knew my whole grains. Even if I hadn’t tried some of them, I could surely recognize them by name. And then while at the Whole Grain Conference in Portland, Elizabeth pointed out teff. Huh? Teff is the teeniest tiniest whole grain there is. Smaller than a poppy seed. source Turns out, I [...]

We had a full day at the Whole Grains conference, and the best way to fuel a full day is with a great grain breakfast bar. We got to sample the award winning (seriously) oatmeal from Bob’s Red Mill topped with dates, whole grain granola, brown sugar, and walnuts. Dates are officially my new favorite [...]

Funk has been turning to big bowls of cereal lately for his midnight snack, and we blow through boxes of it like we’re feeding a small army of men. So we were both excited when the nice people at Dorset cereals offered to send us some samples of granola and muesli to try. We had [...]
