Whole Wheat Applesauce Graham Muffins with Streusel Topping Recipe
Posted on January 27, 2010 - Filed Under Bread, Breakfasts, Recipes | 1 Comment
It’s not unusual for breakfast in my house to be buttered cinnamon raisin toast and a banana or yogurt. Most days during the week, I like to keep things really, really simple. The kids have school, I have work … we just don’t have time to fuss with complicated breakfasts.
But sometimes I like to surprise [...]
Lightened Up Raspberry Applesauce Pancakes

If you are what you eat, then my four-year-old Will is a moist pancake with berries. To say he loves pancakes is like saying that the sun is lukewarm. Will’s devotion to pancakes is unreal. If we let him, Will would have a big stack of pancakes every single morning. But, that wouldn’t be good [...]

Saturday was going to be a busy day. I knew that before I went to bed on Friday. Will had a birthday party to go to. We had plans of getting a Christmas tree (which didn’t happen … who knew that tree sellers would close before 7 p.m. on a Saturday, two weeks before Christmas. [...]

We’re lightening up around the Sarah’s Cucina Bella household these days. That means some big changes in the kitchen: less butter, oil and the like, more healthy food. And one of the biggest places that needed lightening up was our breakfast.
Given the opportunity, Will would eat homemade buttermilk pancakes for breakfast daily. Paige would eat [...]
Apple Turnovers Recipe

Flaky. Sweet. A little tart. Oh, so good.
Somehow, I imagine that to most people apple turnovers are a dessert – a tasty, homey, delicious dessert. But me? I like quiche for breakfast and easily give in to requests for breakfast for dinner. So, these turnovers weren’t dessert. They weren’t a special afternoon snack. They were [...]

When I was in high school, I had a close group of friends who always hung out together. As groups of friends go, we weren’t always all the best of friends — there were ebbs and flows, just like any relationship. But one thing was certain: when we got together, we all had a ton [...]

This recipe almost appeared here earlier this week, but that would have been the third day in a row of pumpkin recipes, so I held off for a few days. I’ve been living, breathing and (heck) eating pumpkin for days. It’s one of those wonderful (and nutritious) fall foods. And it can take on so [...]

Yesterday, it seemed like it went from relatively warm to downright chilly in no time flat. It’s no wonder people say if you don’t like the weather here, wait five minutes — that is just how it is at this time of year in New England. And if you are unprepared, you can find yourself [...]

If Will had his way, we’d eat Blueberry and White Chocolate Buttermilk Pancakes every single morning. Actually, scratch the ‘we’ – he’d eat the whole batch himself every day.
Not that I can blame him … they are delish.
But could we really eat pancakes daily? My schedule and waistline say no way, so I try to [...]
Grilled Beets With Feta Recipe

It’s funny. It seems like with beets, people either love them or hate them. And of the people that hate them, I find that most haven’t ever actually had fresh beets. If you fall into the latter category, my condolences and I urge you to give fresh, wonderful beets a try. Seriously.
Now for those of [...]
