PUMPKIN WEEK: Granola

PUMPKIN WEEK: Granola

Because I don’t eat enough granola (I only make it every weekend), I thought the perfect recipe to end pumpkin week with is Pumpkin Granola. Yes it sounds a little funny at first but this is my new favorite fall breakfast. And snack. And dessert. PS for those of you who are not pumpkin fans, … Continue reading

PUMPKIN WEEK: Finally Fall

PUMPKIN WEEK: Finally Fall

This weekend has been the perfect fall weekend. Blue skies, crisp air, and pumpkins. Fall here can’t really compete with fall in New England  but my roommate and I discovered a cute little farm where everything reminded us of home minus the changing leaves on trees. The farm was about an hour and a half … Continue reading

BIRTHDAY: PART DOS

BIRTHDAY: PART DOS

Nobody just spends one day celebrating their birthday right? I thought I would continue Latte Issues’ birthday week by going through all the delicious things we have made this past year and create a “Best of” post.  Just a warning, it might be a bad idea to read this if you’re hungry. (Ps- thank you … Continue reading

Good Things

I celebrated a birthday this week, leave for Los Angeles tomorrow to visit one of my best friends from college (thank you frequent flier miles for making this possible), and had this for breakfast. Life is good. Healthy Banoffee Parfaits (with stove-top granola) (3 servings) 1 large, ripe banana 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt (I … Continue reading

This Sh*! is B-a-n-a-n-a-s

This Sh*! is B-a-n-a-n-a-s

Whenever I type the word bananas I think of Gwen Stefani and her song “Hollaback Girl” so thank you Gwen for the title of this post. The reason why I had to type bananas is because today I am sharing my favorite banana bread recipe. It’s a recipe my mom clipped from The Yankee Cook years … Continue reading

Pumped Up Toast

Pumped Up Toast

With 3 jobs, lately I barely have time to cook. Most of the time I go straight from one thing to the next and my meals are more like a snack. Breakfast is the only time I have to make something substantial so the last couple of days, I’ve woken up a bit earlier to … Continue reading

Crepes

I am one of the most nostalgic people I know. I refuse to throw anything away for fear of forgetting the memories associated with it. I’ve only this year started throwing out things from high school. (HIGH. SCHOOL.) And as embarrassing as it is to admit, I’m still sporting the blue leopard print pajama bottoms … Continue reading

Brinner? Dinfast?

Brinner? Dinfast?

Sometimes I just really don’t feel inspired to cook. Or bake. Or eat anything that isn’t from a bag, frozen container, or box. But now that I’m “eating healthy” or rather, “trying to eat healthy,” I’ll push myself a little harder on nights when I come home from work and just want to stick my … Continue reading

Low-Fat Pancakes

Low-Fat Pancakes

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you’re stuck in a very small space with someone you don’t like very much? Maybe you’re stuck waiting to cross the street and you run into your ex? Or maybe you’re put in a group project with the annoying class snob? Perhaps you’re trapped in a … Continue reading

Lazy Sunday

Lazy Sunday

Most weekends I take the time to make something sweet and special for brunch, like french toast or pancakes. This weekend I woke up and wanted something healthy so I decided to look for a new granola recipe. I love my mom’s version of granola but I’ve been making it quite a bit lately and … Continue reading
