Berry Scones | Rants, Raves, and Rations
https://rantsravesandrations.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/berry-scones
Rants, Raves, and Rations. Slightly sweet. Moist. Rich with cream and butter. Scones are so versatile and scrumptious. I enjoy them with all sorts of additions – blueberries, raspberries, cinnamon chips. They can be lightly glazed or like mine, which have a delightfully crunchy sprinkling of turbinado sugar. Berry Scones (adapted from Barefoot Contessa). 2 cups plus 1/8 cup all-purpose flour. 1/8 cup sugar, plus additional for sprinkling. 1 tablespoon baking powder. 1 teaspoon kosher salt. In the bowl of...

Breakfast for Dinner: Quinoa Egg Bake | Rants, Raves, and Rations
https://rantsravesandrations.wordpress.com/2013/04/01/breakfast-for-dinner-quinoa-egg-bake
Rants, Raves, and Rations. Breakfast for Dinner: Quinoa Egg Bake. It’s an unfortunate fact that most of my favorite breakfast foods are loaded with fat, sodium, and sugar – pancakes, waffles, casseroles, Eggs Benedict, etc. It’s a tough fact of life that these are so delicious, yet competely unhealthy. You may be thinking, “Oh, well try multigrain pancakes! 8221; or “How about the soy-based sausage? Unhealthy. However, it’s full of flavor, thanks to garlic, fresh thyme, parmesan, and spinach. Preheat ove...

The HUNGER Games – balance, baby!
https://balancedbaby.me/2016/07/25/the-hunger-games
Practical and down to earth: how to combine a busy lifestyle with a healthy lifestyle. while having FUN. The good, the bad and the… balance. Should we ’embrace hunger’ to meet our fitness goals? Is that really a question? Hunger is being seen as something to ignore and suppress rather than satisfying it, not only by women but also by more and more men. We tend to forget hunger actually serves a purpose. More than one, actually. When your body yells “Hunger! Don’t forget that eating and truly enjoyi...

Cinnamon Quick Bread | Rants, Raves, and Rations
https://rantsravesandrations.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/cinnamon-quick-bread
Rants, Raves, and Rations. Quick breads are somewhat tricky to get “right.” While they aren’t as finicky as risotto, they do require careful attention to flavor additions and mixing to yield a great product. So many of these turn out incredibly dry, heavy, and/or bland. Yes, cinnamon and sugar can cover a multitude of sins, but they can’t make up for a terrible texture. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 Tbs baking powder. 1/2 tsp. salt. 1 cup white sugar. 1 egg, beaten. 1/3 cup vegetable oil. It’s defini...
