Acorn Squash with Sweet Sage “Butter”

October 24, 2009 Alisa's Recipes
I have been so impressed with how well our herb plant not only survived the move, but also how much it is thriving, even in this cooler climate. Must be all of the great sun it is getting in our very bright new (to us) kitchen. I have found good use…

Smoked Salmon Crustless Quiche, sort of

September 27, 2009 Alisa's Recipes
Since my last Dutch Baby venture was such a dee-licious success, I set out to create a savory version the other day. But, I couldn’t stop with that one challenge alone. Oh no, silly me decided to go for the gusto and make it grain-free too! Luckily it worked out okay, but I used ground almonds,…

Healthy Dutch Babies topped with a Chunky Blueberry-Maple Sauce

September 2, 2009 Alisa's Recipes
Earlier this year, I discovered the Dutch Baby; a thick, eggy oven pancake that is sometimes referred to as a German pancake. Though it had been months and months since my first enjoyable and successful endeavor, I got a huge craving for these babies this morning! Of course, I didn’t want…

Sweet Freedom: Fluffy Fruited Whole-Grain Pancakes

When I asked my husband how the pancakes were, he said “Great! Can’t you tell?” As he handed me an empty plate just 5 minutes after I handed him a full one. Could he tell that they were made with whole spelt flour? Nope. Did he detect anything missing from the lack…

Sinful Cinnamon-Apple Sauté (Breakfast or Dessert?)

April 22, 2009 Alisa's Recipes
Actually, this little dish isn’t sinful at all, but that title just sounds so good doesn’t it? Well, this saute does produce tender, juicy apples with a wonderfully rich, sweet, and cinnamon-y syrup, rendering it indulgent enough for a healthy dessert. However, I had it for breakfast. I ate it on its own as a part…

Thank you all for your great simple food ideas! I have already started enjoying some. Feel free to add in your favorites if you haven’t already. So, last week my husband bought a small tray of cinnamon buns from the grocery store … that I couldn’t eat. No, he wasn’t being…

“Buttermilk” Banana Pancakes Made with Love

February 15, 2009 Alisa's Recipes
Oddly enough, my husband and I had our very first date on Valentine’s Day.  I know, I know, not the best day for a first date, but it worked out well I would say. Yet, because we are frugal, we never go out on the actual day of to celebrate. There are…
