After being gone for 4 days, I was in serious need of some time with our daughter, a/k/a Sweetly Six. I’ve been eying this recipe for Baked Apple Cinnamon Spice Chips from the With Style and Grace blog for some time. Since Sweetly Six and I love to spend time together in the kitchen (she… Continue reading Friday’s Fixin’s: Baked Apple Cinnamon Spice Chips

Friday's Fixin's: White Bean Dip with Leaf Organics Crackers
Because I don’t eat meat (aside from the once or twice a year cheeseburger!), I am constantly on the lookout for sources of protein. I’ve recently come across a recipe that is serious win-win-win. Not only is it EASY and DELISH, but it has 17.4 grams of protein and 11.3 grams of dietary fiber per… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: White Bean Dip with Leaf Organics Crackers
Chocolate!
Valentine’s Day is coming up. Yippeee! For years, it has been one of our favorite holidays. How great is it that after 10+ years of marriage, we are still crazy about each other (Silver Lining!)? Not a single day goes by that I don’t recognize how fortunate I am to be married to the HOTY… Continue reading Chocolate!
Friday's Fixin's: Artichoke Appetizer
My new favorite cookbook is The Conscious Cook by Tal Ronnen. I first learned about it when I attended a very fancy-schmancy dinner. At the end of the meal, our beautiful hostess stood up and said, “I’d like for you all to know that you just had an entirely vegan meal. Including dessert.” Well, that… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Artichoke Appetizer
SL Book: The Juicing Bible
A dear friend sent me The Juicing Bible by Pat Crocker. Oh my gosh. It is AMAZING. I am so excited about it! As you know from Friday’s Fixin’s, I’ve been into juicing lately. There’s something truly magical and transformative about juicing (Silver Lining). The first edition of The Juicing Bible won the 2000 International Cookbook Revue… Continue reading SL Book: The Juicing Bible
Superfoods!
I’m just returning from an experience called the Indagare Be Retreat. Wow. Wow. Wow. What a Silver Lined, inspirational experience it was! Any time with the HOTY aside, I can’t think of anything better than spending time hiking, eating, learning and growing with a group of amazing women. One very special aspect of the trip was Shanon… Continue reading Superfoods!
Friday's Fixin's: Juices
A Silver Lining of FBC is that I have learned an extraordinary amount about nutrition, most of which I try to share with you here. Two of the things that I have incorporated into my diet are smoothies and green drinks. Prior to FBC, I’d have the occasional smoothie and thought that green drinks were the equivalent… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Juices
Matcha Green Tea
Over the past few months, I have become a HUGE fan of Matcha (obsessed is probably a better word). I drink it every morning. In fact, it’s the first thing that I look forward to in the morning (after a smooch from the HOTY, of course). I wrote about it here a couple of months ago… Continue reading Matcha Green Tea
Friday's Fixin's: Lentil Salad
One of my intentions for 2012 is to cook more. I’m happy to say that I am fulfilling that commitment (Silver Lining). As a consequence, we are staying home more, saving $$, cooking with Finally Five…and I’m having FUN! One of my new favorite recipes is Maili’s Lentil Salad. I’m not usually a lentil fan… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Lentil Salad
Friday's Fixin's: Stupendous Salad Dressing
Recently I went to a cooking class where, to my utter delight, Chef Mary Anne made a (nearly all) vegan menu. Below is her roasted garlic vinaigrette recipe. The salad that I put with is is merely a dressing delivery mechanism. This is soooooooo good and soooooo easy. Mary Anne’s Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette Ingredients: 1… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Stupendous Salad Dressing
