VeggieConverter’s Note: Blueberry lemon scones? Yes, please! Don’t mind if I do. Made by my kid and not me? Even better. If you aren’t familiar with scones, you crazy. Just kidding, mostly . . . Scones are basically biscuits and are often filled with delicious fruity goodness. Bug decided, presumably with a little help from […]
Bug and Cat’s Blueberry Sourdough Pancakes
Blueberry Sourdough Pancakes?! What can be better in the morning? Well, perhaps gluten-free blueberry sourdough pancakes prepared by your daughter with the help of our fluffy black cat? Yeah, that’ll do. VeggieConverter’s Note: My lovely daughters, who you may know as Bug/Tall Fry and Goose/Small Fry have decided it’s high time they contribute their own […]
Fathead Pizza: Keto Adventures
As if our food requirements weren’t complicated enough, my husband recently decided to try the keto diet. So far, my favorite super keto recipe is by far fathead pizza. Why keto you ask? Primarily for weight loss, which (spoiler alert) has totally worked for him so far. After he was laid off last month, Mr. […]
Wolfberry Banana Bread Pudding
Wolfberry banana bread pudding is surprisingly easy and super tasty. We had a metric ton of frozen bananas, so we made a huge batch of banana bread muffins. And, well, to be honest, we were sick of banana bread muffins about halfway through the big batch. So, they got stale. I flipped through some cookbooks […]
Leaky Cauldron Guinness Beef Stew
We took an amazing family trip to Universal and Disney during the fall and something unexpected happened in Diagon Alley. I fell in love with a bowl of beef stew, Guinness Beef Stew. The Leaky Cauldron was my favorite restaurant that we visited on that trip. And we visited some great ones! At the other […]
Grapefruit Curd
Grapefruit curd, I didn’t set out to make it. It just happened. The girls have a new favorite citrus fruit and, I’ll be honest…it comes as a bit of a surprise. It’s grapefruit. We got a big box of red grapefruit as a holiday gift and they went nuts for it. I really love citrus […]
Cuban Black Bean Soup
The girls and I love our Cuban black bean soup. One of our favorite local restaurants is the Cuban Diner and they have an amazing black bean soup. They also have fantastic picadillo, empanadas and plantains. Mom’s a big fan of their cuba libres, too. They’re tasty. Can’t be helped. We make a pretty good […]
Ningxia Wolfberries Trail Mix
Trail mix is our go-to travel snack. This Ningxia wolfberries trail mix is our current love. We enjoy taking various fruit and nut mixes along with us on road trips, to conferences, into amusement parks and on any family outing. You can mix in just about any of your favorite dried fruits, nuts and, if […]
Homemade Ranch Dressing
The girls love homemade ranch dressing to dip their veggies into and pour onto their salads. We never could find quite the right blend from a store-bought ranch, so we came up with the perfect version for us at home. We have one daughter who absolutely loves salads and another who is not a fan. […]
Homemade Italian Seasoning
We love mixing up our own homemade Italian seasoning. We like to make it our own with a little extra garlicky punch. It’s perfect in all our favorites like lasagna, Italian sandwiches and our homemade ranch dressing. Delicious. It’s especially tasty in a simple olive oil dip with some crusty bread with some fresh cracked […]
