Sweetgreen Fro Yo and Sweetflow Mobile

August 3, 2009

Today, my friend Scott and I were walking back to the office after lunch when we spotted the Sweetgreen fro yo mobile! Have you all seen this thing? It’s an adorably painted yellow and green van that basically looks like an ice cream truck for adults. I’d never seen the van before, but am [...]

Whole Wheat Apple Turnover

July 15, 2009

The weather in D.C. has been cool and breezy-more like fall than summer. Fall weather (even if it is technically summer) craves hearty, rustic foods which inspired me to make apple turnovers. One chilly night in July (i know, that sounds so weird!), I decided to get out my rolling pin, mixing bowls, [...]

Birthday Lemon Loaf

June 23, 2009

Happy Birthday Jessica! For Jessica’s 26th birthday (today), I baked her a delightful lemon loaf. I got my inspiration from Bella’s recent tribute to lemon desserts. Because Jessica likes healthy, organic recipes, I decided to follow Molly’s Lemon Yogurt Cake recipe and add my own twist. I subbed organic spelt flour for the [...]

Immaculate Baking

June 18, 2009

The sweet folks at the Immaculate Baking Co. sent Jessica and I some cookie samples to bake up. I had actually already tried these cookies and reviewed them for my holiday post Cookies for a Cause (a sad, but honest attempt to justify eating cookies). Last time, I tried the sugar cookies and was very [...]

Sweet Rice

June 16, 2009

Sweet rice is a dish that I often saw my father eat when I was a child. He was a Depression Era baby so he grew up in a household where everything was put to use-even leftover white rice. Those practices carried over into his adult habits and, consequently, into my family’s rountine. [...]

HOLEY DONUTS!!!

May 31, 2009

Jennifer: Holey guacamole these donuts are GOOD! The makers of Holey Donuts sent us samples last week and I must say I am impressed. These donuts are much lower in fat and calories than traditional donuts, but are not missing in texture or flavor. We sampled a variety- apple filled, chocolate, lemon filled, cream [...]

Dairy Free Dessert

May 30, 2009

I know a lot of people are on the dairy-free bandwagon these days. I am not, but I decided to see if I could create a flavorful and satisfying creamy, dairy-free dessert. It was a tall order, but I think I was pretty successful. You’ll have to try it for yourself!
In the blender: mix [...]

Ginger Ice Pops!

May 27, 2009

I was craving a summery, refreshing, sweet treat. I had some leftover ginger juice from the Ginger People. I decided to turn this juice into a popsicle. I love popsicles in the summer, and with the hot weather we had in D.C. this weekend, an icy pop seemed like a cool idea. I chopped [...]

My decadent dessert of the week

May 17, 2009

As I explained in an earlier post, I was lucky to try the all natural brownies from Vermont Brownie Company. They are made with local ingredients and are shipped by mail- very convenient! Each brownie is individually sealed and can be frozen or kept in the fridge for up to three weeks! [...]
