Quick and easy bread recipe

In general, we don’t eat a lot of bread.  Or rice.  Or pasta.  We’re not on a “no carb” diet and we’re not gluten free, we just try to keep it out of meals as best we can. That being said, I can’t get enough of warm bread, fresh out of the oven.  I once […]

I make them so infrequently, I always have to look up the recipe […]

Healthy Banana Pancakes

So my friend, Kellie, posted a healthy banana pancake recipe the other day.  Eggs + banana + blueberries.  Interesting. On Sunday, Nick and I were trying to figure out what to have for breakfast so I suggested these pancakes. I don’t consider myself a pro chef, but I’m relatively coordinated in the kitchen.  But I […]

TJs: Channa Masala

Nick and I aren’t necessarily adventurous eaters, but we are definitely open minded eaters.  While in Whistler, we ate at an Indian restaurant.  I think this was maybe the 2nd time we’ve ever had Indian.  But we were game.  And it was delicious! We learned that one of the dishes we ordered, Channa Masala, also […]
