Rosemary Flatbread Pizza

Personal Pizzas Made to Order on the Grill in a Jiffy!

I was craving something a little bit different on Saturday. We had a late (second) breakfast after my 5k, but March Madness has hit (Go Heels!), and we needed something we could do relatively quickly and on the early side. As it was such a beautiful day outside, grilling sounded great! I was craving a big puffy pita-like flat bread, so did a little research online for possible recipes and how to go about grilling them…then the lightbulb went off…grilled flatbread pizza!

Carrot Cake Cookies

A Modern Classic with a Healthy Twist

ccc_fg2

Carrot Cake is my all-time favorite cake (except maybe an excellent chocolate Tres Leches). My husband makes an excellent carrot cake that comes directly from the Joy of Baking website. The most unfortunate thing is how much time and effort it takes, and how terrible it is for you (I did the calorie/macronutrient estimation over Thanksgiving, it’s atrocious). So, a few months ago we went to Ziggy’s Healthy Grill here in Houston and were amazed by their sugar-free carrot cake cookies. A little creative web research shows that they were likely adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe. [Read More]

Blueberry Granola Bars – Part 1

bg_fg

I’m headed off to a two week long training class on Sunday and wanted to have a number of “healthyish” snacks to take with me not only for myself, but for others to enjoy. We are provided with breakfast and lunch and work will also provide dinner, but you know how variable hotel food is (or rather lack of variety, none of which is “healthy”). So, I did a lot of thinking about my cooking list assuming I wouldn’t have a fridge or microwave (I have later found out I will indeed have both, yay!). [Read More]

Choco-Strawberry Clafouti

A delicious dessert that won’t bust your bank!
This desert is very light, yet strangely decadent without containing a lot of sugar (it’s there, just not in large quantities). The eggs and milk carry this dessert.
