Creamy Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Bake with Broccoli and Kale

February 17, 2014 by Cate 22 Comments

Hearty quinoa is mixed with buffalo chicken, kale, and broccoli, then topped with a creamy cheese sauce. This is healthy comfort food at its finest!

The never-ending debate: what to eat for dinner? I’d like to tell you all that I cook a healthy and balanced dinner every night for TheBetterHalf and myself……but I don’t. It is just so hard to find the time!! That is why I just love recipes like this Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Bake!! I can make it on a lazy Sunday, and then we have a healthy and delicious dinner ready on Monday! It has all the components of a balanced meal in one, and it tastes AMAZING.

Brioche Bread

February 5, 2014 by Cate 25 Comments

Ok everyone – what is going on with the weather this winter?! I know it is all people can talk about lately, but seriously – will it ever stop snowing? Definitely the worst winter we’ve had in my 6 years in NYC! I walk to work every morning (takes about 25 minutes in case you are curious) and I think I’ve said about 10 times this winter, “Ok that was by far my worst walk yet.” It just keeps getting worse though! But this morning took the cake (and not the good kind of cake) – freezing rain the entire walk – which was falling on top of snow piles. The result: icy sidewalks and HUGE puddles at each intersection. Fun. But I made it without falling, phew!

And now I can talk about brioche bread, which is definitely cheering me up immediately. There is a stick of butter in each loaf, what’s not to love?!…

Valentine’s Funfetti Pancakes with Vanilla Greek Yogurt Sauce

February 3, 2014 by Cate 58 Comments

Light and fluffy pancakes are fun and festive thanks to sprinkles in the batter. Greek yogurt is used in both the pancakes and the vanilla sauce, giving these funfetti pancakes tons of filling protein. Such a delicious and celebratory breakfast!

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday in NYC it was in the 50s and sunny and today it is 30 and snowing! We seriously got so lucky with the Superbowl weather.

Is everyone tired today from all the festivities last night? I know I am, and this snow is not helping things! So I need something to cheer me up today, and these pancakes are just the thing. If these don’t bring a smile to your face, I don’t know what will! Aren’t they just the cutest? And so perfect for Valentine‘s Day!…

Dark Chocolate Chip Coconut Oil Cookies – Mystery Dish

December 30, 2013 by Cate 33 Comments

These coconut oil cookies are full of dark chocolate chips and walnuts – they are so soft and chewy, and the coconut oil gives them an amazing flavor!

It is December 30 – 2 more days until the new year’s resolutions start. So I have one more cookie recipe for you, just in case you haven’t had enough this month! These cookies come to you as part of the Mystery Dish group. I guest posted in October, and was thrilled to be asked to join them full time! Sherri at The Well Floured Kitchen came up with a great list of ingredients for us this month.

Dark Chocolate
Greek Yogurt
Berries
Coconut Oil
Walnuts
Fish (any white flaky such as cod)
Baby Spinach
Pecorino Romano Cheese

We had to use at least two – I picked Dark Chocolate, Coconut Oil, and Walnuts and made these delicious cookies….

Candied Sweet Potato Casserole

November 21, 2013 by Cate 15 Comments

It is Thanksgiving Week, Day 4! Time for some potatoes, because what is Thanksgiving without at least two types of potatoes. I love traditional mashed potatoes (smothered in gravy of course) but since that recipe is fairly basic, I decided to make sweet potatoes. There are so many ways to prepare sweet potatoes, but I went for a candied sweet potato casserole topped with glazed pecans! You could top this one with marshmallows instead if you are so inclined, but TheBetterHalf is not a marshmallow fan. He actually said “It’s Thanksgiving, not summer camp.” So that’s that. …
