You would probably never guess these cake-like brownies had vegetables in them. They are so moist and full of chocolate flavor. They also do not use any eggs, so they are a great for people who have that allergy. While I won’t claim that these are healthy because of they contain vegetables, I…

Popcorn Snack Bars
Popcorn is a favorite snack in our household. We have an air popper which produces healthy, hot popcorn in a matter of minutes. The kids love watching the popcorn spill out of the popper into the bowl. Most of the time, we just add a little melted butter and some salt. However, there…
Coffee Bread
This coffee bread recipe comes from a special cookbook, the “Mary Martha Cookbook”. The cookbook was a technically a gift from my mother-in-law, but really it was planned to be a gift from my husband’s Nana Wilma who lost her battle with breast cancer.

Wheat Pita Bread

For Thanksgiving or other fall get-togethers, you can leave off the black olives,…

Banana Oat Bread
It never fails… No matter how much I try to carefully count out the number of bananas I think our family will consume before they turn super-ripe, I often end up with a few extra that ripen beyond what we like to eat. I have two other banana recipes (another bread, and some…
