Well five family votes have been tabulated. Here is the clear winner in my granola/energy bar making experiment from last week. Chia seeds are one of my favorite stealth health ingredients. Also known asSalvia hispanica, it has a great nutritional profile and is flavor neutral. Unlike flax, it does not oxidize and you don’t have to […]
I have been experimenting with gluten-free baking for a while now and have finally succumbed to buying a premix for everyday baking. One thing I have noticed in all my experimentation is that these GF flour mixes are inherently healthier than regular white flour. Now GF Baking Mix has 4 grams of protein and 2 […]
Well flavoristas, it has been a year since we began blogging and 300 posts later we still have a bajillion things that we want to pass along to you. Barr and I enjoy sharing our kitchens and our finds with you. We love the swiftness of blogging: Writing about blueberries during blueberry season is much more fun […]
It is only three weeks into school here in Boulder and my kids are already fatigued with the bars we usually buy. Getting them involved in customizing their own bars has been loads of fun. Best yet, these bars are healthier and if allergens are an issue, you have the ultimate control in your own kitchen. I […]
In Japan, a momo is a little peach. My husband, Mo, is a big peach, sweet and mellow and, well yes, he has a big, loving, juicy personality! Here in Colorado we have an amazing peach season which usually goes right into October. Some of the best peaches are from the western slope of the […]

Apricot Scrunch by Flavorista Contributor, Tracey Shafroth This summer I experimented with something my mother called “scrunch.” Most people know it as Brown Betty or Crumble but in our house it was always known as scrunch. Unlike apple or peach scrunch, apricot scrunch cooks down into a rich and thick dessert maintaining very little of the […]
Saugatuck Apricot Jam by Flavorista Contributor, Tracey Shafroth As a young child growing up in Colorado my mother and I spent hours making different jams and jellies each summer. We had prolific plum bushes which most years yielded a bumper crop of small dark plums. We experimented with mint jelly for a few years in an […]
If you are a fan of vanilla-kissed, buttery cakes, this beauty is for you. We have a pretty new cake plate on our counter so I have felt obliged to keep it full of cake. As if one really needs an excuse to make cake! This cake is butter, sugar, eggs, some more butter and vanilla […]
I wrote this recipe last year for Hannaford’s fresh. I like the normal, not mammoth, size of these muffins. Between the oats and the blueberries, you are looking at a health boosting treat, although if you really want to change your diet you can find out the Nutrisystem cost online which is perfect to keep […]
