Chocolate Chia Pudding

Have you ever made pudding from scratch? Classic pudding recipes look a lot like custards, involving heating ingredients on the stove, pouring hot milk into egg yolks while trying not to scramble them, then putting everything back on the stove and stirring until it thickens. While those recipes are delicious and tempering egg yolks really isn't that hard, this recipe is way easier. Step one: whisk everything together in a bowl.

Protein power smoothie (Recipe Redux)

This month's Recipe Redux theme is "Favorite Chocolate Matches," and bloggers were asked to create a recipe highlighting their favorite chocolate pairings. I decided to go the tried-but-true route with a delicious and satisfying chocolate, peanut butter, and banana combination. I've been loving this Protein Power Smoothie for quite some time now. It was inspired by my husband's love for Jamba Juice's Peanut Butter Moo'd smoothie, and it has powered many mornings and post-workout needs. It's silky smooth, thickened by the flax meal, and has balanced ratios of it'[...]

Blueberry millet muffins (Recipe Redux)

It's time for Recipe Redux again! This month's theme is "Grab a Book and Cook," and participating bloggers were instructed to grab the nearest cookbook and cook the recipe on page 42 or 142 in honor of the 42nd month of Recipe Redux challenges. I recently picked up Amy Chaplin's At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen: it's thoughtful, beautifully photographed, and the recipes are delicious. I'm always drawn to the introductory sections of cookbooks when the author invites the reader into their kitchen to engage in the rituals of shopping for ingredients, exploring esse[...]
