Chicken Pot Pie OR Turkey Pot Pie from Scratch OR Leftovers … no matter which way you make it, it is going to be good! I grew up and never really liked Pot Pie most of my life (not sure if it is the peas …
There is a debate out there as to if Apples or Pumpkin are the Ultimate Fall Flavor. Now although this debate might not be as likely to cause a huge argument at your workplace as the other debates that are going on right now (we …
Another Weekend – Another Delicious Breakfast!
If you don’t ever take the time on weekends to make a delicious breakfast, I am sorry (and sorry for your family)! Now I am not saying that every day on every weekend we whip up some delicious breakfast, but I usually try to make at least one yummy breakfast (or brunch) over the weekend!

Healthy Food does not have to taste bad or boring! My Future Brother-In-Law has a thing for Snickerdoodles. The problem with snickerdoodles though is that they are not really healthy. Now, I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with un-healthy foods here and there, …
We are still getting corn from our awesome local farm’s CSA. All year we seem to have been getting between one and dozen ears of corn a week. Much of this corn I have been sharing with my neighbors and my parents. Much of the …
When Life gives you Zucchini, you make Zucchini Bread. And when you are lucky enough to get some Peaches from Life at the same time that Life gives you Zucchinis, you can make Peach Zucchini Bread!
All of the “fats” in this recipe come from the Peaches (or Bananas – or a mix of both). Since the fruits have all of the natural sugars, I even went ahead and reduced the amount of sugar in the recipe! AND – if you want to make this even more healthy, do like I did and replace your white flour with whole wheat flour.
I’ve now made this bread five times, in 4 different ways (loaf, mini-muffins, mini-loafs, and bunt cake) for dozens of people. I think I liked the way it turned out in the traditional loaf the best – but each was amazing. I have added diced peaches on top (in the mini-loafs) and that was adorable. Rich liked the mini-muffins best (which I thought were more dry because I baked them almost too long – but that is why he liked them the best). This recipe is totally forgiving and you can add or substitute as you like and feel free to bake longer if you like a drier bread – you seriously cannot mess up this recipe (ok, I take that back – you probably can mess it up, but its not easy to do)!
