Time to kick-off 2012 with a healthy start! Join me in avoiding bulging breakfast burritos, hot-out-of-the-oven donut holes, and crispy chocolate chip waffles. Instead, try a steaming bowl of hearty steel-cut oatmeal, sweetened with diced persimmons and cinnamon, and topped with crunchy almonds. Oatmeal is so good for you!
Don’t have time in the morning to [...]

Now that my sister and I are all grown up, we don’t wake up at the crack of dawn on Christmas to claw our way through presents. Instead, we like to mosey out of bed, get coffee with mom and dad, and enjoy a lazy breakfast around the fire. And while it’s nice to eat [...]

I’m OBSESSED with Heidi Swanson’s new cookbook, Super Natural Every Day. While I haven’t even made a dent in terms of trying all the recipes, I’ve found time to make her delicious oat cakes on several occasions. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re a little nutso for oats here at Farm & a Frying Pan [...]

Have you ever noticed that most cabbage recipes, like coleslaw, stir fry, or Chinese chicken salad usually only call for half a head of cabbage? I swear, this happens to me every time and then I’m stuck with a sad little half-head of cabbage languishing in my fridge.
Last week, I faced the same dilemma yet again [...]

This is a love letter to the New York Time’s Martha Rose, who wrote this amazing recipe for Beet Greens and Potato Hash.
Dear Martha,
I just want to thank you for coming up with such a clever and delicious recipe – that’s easy to boot! I say “clever” because you found a way to incorporate [...]

I’m still getting used to waking up to a sweltering apartment that even blasting A/C can’t help. Don’t get me wrong, I’d pick being too hot over being too cold any day of the week. It has been a serious treat to wear a tank top and shorts around my place without the constant [...]

I’m always looking for something to do with my abundant sweet potato stash since there seems to be two or three of them constantly rolling around in my pantry. A few months ago, I stumbled across Epicurious’ Sweet Potato Hash recipe, which I’ve made countless times and always with some modification depending upon what I [...]

A frittata is something that I’ve wanted to try making for ages (thanks to my love for eggs), yet its fancy name and the seemingly high-skill level needed made me steer clear of attempting the dish. Luckily, I nabbed fresh eggs from this week’s market – the most critical component to a fabulous frittata – [...]

When I tell people that steel-cut oatmeal is my preferred morning meal, I often hear back, “but it takes FOREVER to make!” Oh no my friends, you’ve been fooled. While the directions on the box say that it takes about 45 minutes to make up a batch – far longer than any of us are [...]

Most granola bars you find lining the notorious”inner” shelves of supermarkets are laden with corn syrup, funky preservatives, and hydrogenated fats. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I counted over 20 ingredients in one box, including some I could barely pronounce like sodium bicarbonate, soy lectithin, tocopherol, and partially hydrogenated soybean oil.
Even more confusing and [...]
