Wild Rice Quinoa Pilaf with Celery, Pear and Walnuts

Wild Rice Quinoa Pilaf with Celery, Pear and Walnuts

Mmmm. Wild Rice Quinoa Pilaf. This is one of those dishes that just says fall to me. The pears and celery add a wonderful crispness to this pilaf, and the walnuts add a lovely crunch. And quinoa? You just can’t go wrong there. Lots of protein-y goodness. This dish is a wonderful main course or side, and reheats beautifully as lunch the day after.

Delivery day!

Delivery day!

It was 7 am. I could hear Ella fussing in her crib, but I couldn’t move. After all, I’d already been up twice that night. The dog clamored to be let out at 3:20 am and Ella had woken up crying just a couple of hours later. Besides that, I was still suffering the effects of the Cold From Hell. I nestled into my pillow for just a couple more minutes of sleep…

From the archives: Pumpkin Smoothie

October 14, 2011 by Shannon  |  2 Comments

You know what I can’t get out of my head right now? Pumpkins. I’m about to pop open a can of pumpkin puree and start making some breads and pancakes (and – who am I kidding? – some cookies, too) and I remembered this recipe may come in handy for that little bit of leftover pumpkin that is somehow always left over…

Strawberry Banana “Ice Cream”

Strawberry Banana

This is one of those “oops” recipes, that I just had to share. I set out to make a smoothie for myself and Kellan recently, but it was just one of those days when even the simplest of things was not going right…

Springtime grass growing project

Springtime grass growing project

I’m happy to report that in the midst of all the chaos of preparing to put our house on the market, I have managed to nurture and grow a plant. This is big because I don’t really have a green thumb.

Crunchy Hummus Dippers

Dip is delicious. Kids love it, adults love it…and for good reason. It makes everything yummier. So wrap your head around this – what if you could dip your dip and eat it??? Crazy, right? Yeah. Crazy delicious.

Let’s hear it for meal plans! Hip hip…hooray!

Let's hear it for meal plans! Hip hip...hooray!

Finally! I’m implementing a meal plan this week! It’s not always easy, of course. Sometimes when I have a minute to run to the grocery store, I’m doing so without any sort of idea what we might eat the following week. But this time, I gave it a little thought. Yay.

The no-good, absolutely awful, worthless sugar cookie recipe

The no-good, absolutely awful, worthless sugar cookie recipe

Cookies, cookies, cookies. Everyone’s all about the cookies right now. Baking them, eating them, gifting them. I’ve never been much of a cookie maker (although I love to consume them), except for the winter I was pregnant with Kellan…

Puzzle Sandwich

Puzzle Sandwich

Puzzles are THE thing at our house right now. Kellan would do them over….and over….and over again — for HOURS — if I let him. I’m sure they are wonderful for building a sense of accomplishment and his ability to solve problems, but I have found that they also solve one of my problems — getting him to eat his lunch in a timely fashion.
