Rocky Road Blondies

Posted by Stacy on May 11, 2013 in 2012, Featured | 5 comments

As mentioned in Hayley’s recent (donut) post, often we visit with her she (politely) requests Urban Poser’s honey-sweetened Marshmallows accompany the visit. Matt has some sort of magic over Jenni’s marshmallows and they come out wonderfully perfect and puffy each time. So when I was talking with Bill & Hayley about visiting for their Gather Release Party and I offered to bring something for their dessert table I knew exactly what to expect. I wanted to bring two things, so I also checked with Diane and Aimee (my travel companion) and was enthusiastically encouraged to...

Crazy for Kale

Posted by Matthew on Apr 18, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 57 comments

Don’t miss the end of the post, there’s a GIVEAWAY! One of our boys’ favorite vegetables is kale. I think it probably started when we made Kale Chips for Eat Like a Dinosaur, and then our oldest (a born leader) declared his absolute love for the vegetable. Since then the other boys have followed along like little ducklings in support of his declaration. I mention this vegetable often when talking about their favorite foods on the podcast, so when Hallie asked us to review her Crazy for Kale ebook and submit a recipe for round-up I was shocked to see that the only recipe I...

ELaD’s Frozen Waffles and other Naturally Green St. Patrick’s Day Recipes

Posted by Stacy on Mar 14, 2013 in 2013, ELaD, Featured | 27 comments

There are a few recipes in our first cookbook, Eat Like a Dinosaur, that we’re asked to share. A lot. Like, at least once a week someone wants to publish (or wants us to publish) on the web some of our most popular recipes from ELaD: Fools Gold Chicken Nuggets, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Rat on a Stick, Anytime Cookies, 50/50 Burgers and Frozen Waffles. Until now, only 50/50 Burgers were on our site. We’re not trying to be mean, but if we don’t hold some recipes hostage you guys would have no incentive to actually buy a book. And frankly we think 1) kids deserve a tangible...

Apple Plum Sangria

Posted by Stacy on Feb 25, 2013 in 2013 | 3 comments

The end is near! We’re starting to see a light at the end of the Beyond Bacon tunnel! This weekend we invited our local recipe testers over for a potluck of Beyond Bacon recipes – and I have NEVER seen food disappear so quickly at a potluck! The overwhelming hit at the party was our Savory Bacon Jam, which was brought as an appetizer with apple slices – something I never would have thought of, but was genius! Before you ask, the recipe will be in the book – apologies for the teaser but July 2nd is coming quick! I just love these type of events where people get to...
