Lion and I took a few minutes this week to whip up some delicious zucchini bread muffins. I absolutely love to have these for on the go breakfasts and snacks throughout the week. While we don’t have sweet breads or muffins on the counter for breakfasts all the time – having them every once in…

Carrot Cake – Semi Homemade
Lion and I made this special little treat earlier in the year but somehow I never got around to posting. So – it’s a bit late, but still delicious. This carrot cake is fabulous dressed up with cream cheese frosting for nicer occasions. As well as delicious as a morning muffin warmed in the toaster…
Puffed Buckwheat Treat Bars
Today I thought it might be fun to make a healthy-ish treat with my two wee lairds. Bear and Lion were getting a bit restless and starting to pick at each other so I figured I better come up with an activity fast. What better activity than cooking!?! You get to measure, scoop, stir, get…
Almond Flour Shortbread Cookies
Today Lion and I took advantage of nap time to try a new recipe we found online. Our quest for a new recipe came after going through the pantry and realizing we have a very large bag of almond flour we need to use up. A quick google search of “almond flour cookies” gave us…
Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
What’s better after a long (unintentional) break from blogging than….COOKIES!?! I spend a fairly decent amount of time attempting to plan, prep, and execute healthy meals. Some days I am successful – other days we have breakfast for dinner, or brinner as we call it. With all of this planning, prepping, stressing, moderately successful executions…
Bao / Pork Buns
Last year Lion and Bear fell in love with the animated film Abominable. They love the adorable Yeti, the great music, fun characters, and of course – the scenes of Yi’s grandmother Nai Nai in the kitchen making pork buns! Almost from the very first viewing Lion has been asking if we can have pork…
Seitan 2 ways
I have recently (in the last year or so) discovered seitan whilst going through a divine cookbook Mostly Plants by the Pollan family. After reading the cookbook cover to cover I diligently placed markers into all the recipes I wanted to try first! This particular recipe was number one on my list – and let…
Grammie J’s Thanksgiving Sweet Potatoes
I love sweet potatoes just about every way you can serve them. Roasted with olive oil, sea salt, and curry. Sliced thin and baked in layers with apples, pears, cardamom, and dried cranberries. Slow cooked alongside a roast. Yum, yum, and oh yeah…yum! But there is something special about the candied sweet potato pies, casseroles,…
Bears Winter Stew
With fall settling over us, and winter quickly approaching, it feels like it’s time to start making and enjoying warm slow cooked meals. Today Bear and Lion wanted to help cut and cook – and I wanted to take adorable pictures of them cutting and cooking – so we decided on Bears Winter Stew. Plenty…
Lion’s Cooking Show
If we are being honest we already have a version of this recipe on the blog – but Lion really wanted me to make a video of him making these muffins. What can I say – as long as the kitchen is in tolerable order I’m generally happy to make a mess of it cooking…
