Video: Spinach, Feta, & Brown Rice Pie

Brown Rice

I love ANY meal that I can make once and eat twice (or several times for that matter), especially meals that seem to get better the second time around, like this Spinach, Feta, & Brown Rice Pie.

This is another video that we shot nearly a year ago (when I was still pregnant with Jachs!) and are finally able to share!  The only catch is that I forgot to take a photo of the final product so you’ll just have to use your imagination until I get to make this one again… enjoy!

This is mostly because for the first 16 weeks or so of this pregnancy the only form of pregnancy communication I seemed capable of was complaining!

Cardamom and Sweet Potato Oatmeal

I have been away from my kitchen for nearly two weeks now so when I woke up this morning I couldn’t wait to make something for breakfast.

I hadn’t gotten to the store yet, so I had to work with pantry items and that’s when I came a cross a can of sweet potato puree!

Whole Wheat Blueberry Scones

Big, fat, plump, juicy blueberries have been all over the place lately, which is really no surprise considering it is berry season, but very exciting none-the-less!
