My kids and I have been reading the book The Red Lemon which we love. All of this talk about red lemons, I decided to order some pink lemons to experiment with this week. Pink lemons are delicious because they are sweeter than regular lemons and have a nice pink flesh. This recipe can easily […]
Vegan Tofu Pumpkin Muffins
Who could have thought that silken tofu can taste so good in a muffin? I bought some silken tofu to add to my morning smoothies but wanted to experiment with it in a baked good. To be honest, I was a little skeptical when blending all of the ingredients, but I decided to continue my […]
Low Fat Wheat Germ Apple Muffin
Craving a moist sweet muffin that you don’t need to feel guilty about? These muffins are low fat and many of the ingredients can easily be substituted according to your diet and preferences. Less Sweet or Reduced Sugar? Reduce the maple syrup or substitute with agave syrup. It would work well with the regular agave […]
Banana Quinoa Muffins
Adding quinoa to baked goods not only adds moistness but also gives it extra protein. When adding quinoa to a recipe, make sure to stick with the measurements. Adding too much quinoa can make the muffin very heavy and dense. 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa in this recipe was just right. These muffins were sweet, […]

Usually scones are made with cream but I decided to make them healthier by substituting non fat vanilla yogurt. These scones are also half wheat which can give an extra fiber boost. This recipe works best when using thinner […]
Stone Fruit Scones
Do you love stone fruit? I love all sorts of stone fruit such as peaches, apricots, plum and pluots. What better way to use them, but in a scone. I love adding fresh fruit to my scones because they add fresh flavor and nutrition. I personally like my scones more on a cakey side […]
