Yes, it's (still) the height of summer, and yes, I am posting about meatloaf. I love "comfort food" every day of the year, red hot blazing sun and 300% humidity be darned. What I don't need during the summer is my oven pumping away for an hour or more. These individual meatloaves take much less time to bake - only 20 minutes - and more surface ... view more

Kale and Spinach Greek Yogurt Dip
Spinach dip is always a fan favorite. And when I found Trader Joe's Reduced-Guilt Spinach and Kale Greek Yogurt Dip, I thought I had found a little plastic bucket of heaven. The ingredient list is actually pretty natural on that product - you know how I dislike extra "filler" ingredients. I could sit down and eat this dip with crackers and veggies ... view more
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies {Coconut Oil + Whole Wheat Flour}
I find that when I wait too long to post a recipe after making it, there are holes in my cooking memory. Was it in the oven for 13 or 16 minutes?

Let's just say I didn't mind having to make this recipe a few times to fill in the ... view more
Ga’s Easy Blueberry Coffee Cake

The dish that, when the person who usually makes it arrives at the gathering, you hug and say hello, but reeeeally you're checking their hands to make sure they brought it? Share those dishes in the comments! It's so fun to see ... view more
Kale & Egg Quiche with Sweet Potato “Crust”
As seen on Greatist (see #15) I'm calling it now: New go-to. Bagel Bake, you have some gluten-free competition for "favorite brunch dish." Graham Cracker Granola, you are lucky that you are also considered a snack, so you are not in jeopardy of being bumped for now. This recipe was located and selected by AWP for our most recent Cooking ... view more
Ginger Oat Muffins {Fast + Easy + Healthy}
I cannot stop eating these muffins. This recipe makes 6 muffins, and I am purposely not doubling the recipe, even once to see how it turns out, because I don't want to have more than 6 available to me at any given time. I don't want to take them to work for colleagues or a meeting, and I don't want to share them with friends. I want to eat all 6 ... view more
