Baby Countdown #7 Cucumber salad in Tahini sauce
I have a confession to make. I have deliberately started this baby countdown with no real intention of finishing it.

Tonight I am posting the last recipe on the list, bending to reach the keyboard over an… Continue reading Baby Countdown #7 Cucumber salad in Tahini sauce

D-day has come. And gone. Alas, I am still a hot air balloon. On the bright side, the baby has been moving well this morning. On the not-so-bright-side, I'm still a hot air balloon.

Baby Countdown #1 Quick no-yeast whole grain bread
So my due date is tomorrow. And just to make things interesting, I woke up this morning at 6 AM with regular contractions. Regular, that is, until my kids woke up an hour later. I guess the sight of two wild haired, pajama clad toddlers stomping towards the bed was enough to scare even the contractions away. So instead… Continue reading Baby Countdown #1 Quick no-yeast whole grain bread

Quicky Microwave Orange Marmalade
Do you like orange marmalade? the bitter-sweet tangy kind with real pieces of orange peel in it? So do I. Sooo good on a fresh slice of bread, even better if you sneak in some butter.

Salmon Cakes
Crab or fish patties are always referred to as cakes. I never understood why, but here is my version of these old standbys. Cakes or not, these are delicious, quick and easy to make and relatively economical too. I did fry them, contrary to my usual "no frying" motto but the result is worth it. My baby… Continue reading Salmon Cakes
Whole wheat Banana muffins
How often have you tried preparing a muffin recipe boasting 12 or 24 muffins and ended up with several disappointed empty cups? I do that all the time. Even when I (shamefully) tried these ready-made-just-add-water muffin mixes, I still had to leave some of the cups muffin-less. Now that my conscience is clear, I can proceed to… Continue reading Whole wheat Banana muffins
