I’ve been holding onto this one for almost a week now, but you have to trust me, this is goooood! I’m pretty sure this kind of sauce is only supposed to be on chicken… You know “butter chicken” right? But I’ve been seeing so many awesome uses for cauliflower lately and I already love cauliflower [...]This post Vegan Indian “Butter” Cauliflower with
Let me explain where I’ve been this week… Last week I was so busy, but super excited to share some things with you this week when things calmed down. And then as I was getting ready for my first post of this week I noticed that one of my recipes had been stolen.

So who here is a fan of streusel? Now just imagine me with my arm straight up, waving around like crazy. Um, yeah, I love it that much. It is awesome Let’s take a better look… Oh yeah Love that streusel. And don’t forget all that carby goodness underneath the streusel.

So I decided I should finally update my ever popular Pizza Quinoa Casserole. As awesome as it is served in a larger single or double serving it is much more fun served in bite size! I’ve seen pizza quinoa bites around for ages now so I decided to try out my recipe in bite form. [...]This post Mini Pizza Quinoa Bites appeared first on Food Doodles. Thank you for reading!
I know everyone is getting into the spirit of spring but I’m still stuck on winter foods. It’s actually been strangely warm here. Usually I watch on as other bloggers enjoy spring for at least a month or two before we really start getting spring like weather but this year has been so nice. We [...]This post Vegan Butternut Mulligatawny Soup appeared first on Food Doodles. Thank you
So this was what I was holding out on you for 2 days now. I am so sorry I held these babies back because they are amazing. Of course I couldn’t help but dress them up a little… And then a little more…. Eek! How good does that look?

Does it ever feel good to be back! I realize I’ve been gone quite a while. I got my wisdom teeth out last month and thought I’d take a week off, just reading blogs while eating mashed potatoes and ice cream and these mango lassi popsicles, in smoothie form(SO awesome with a generous chunk of [...]This post Spiced Apple Cranberry Smoothie appeared first on Food Doodles.

Do you ever feel like you’re drowning in things to do? I have my entire week listed out but have I accomplished anything yet? OK, a couple things, but my lists are loooong. I keep adding on to them too. Maybe that’s my problem. And then I add a few extra fun things in there [...]This post Raw Cacao Nib Banana Bread Chewies appeared first on Food Doodles.

Please tell me you’ve had spanakopita before! Ricotta cheese, feta cheese and spinach, usually all wrapped up in phyllo pastry. How can you go wrong? Apparently that was how I thought as a kid because that was all I ordered every time we went out for Greek food when I was a kid. How [...]This post Spanakopita Stuffed Shells appeared first on Food Doodles. Thank you for reading!
Well hello! You may have noticed I took last week off. What started the week before with us all just not feeling well turned into some awful flu or virus of some kind. On top of that(or before, I’m not really sure when one thing started and another ended) I had my first, and hopefully [...]This post Apple Cranberry Bran Muffins appeared first on Food Doodles.

I am so glad I have some of this soup in my freezer. You see, I’m sick again. I don’t even know how, I usually get sick with a fairly mild cold once or twice a year and that’s it. This year seems to be so much worse. Maybe it’s because my son is in [...]This post Light Baked Potato and Cauliflower Soup appeared first on Food Doodles. Thank you for reading!
So I mentioned this spaghetti squash alfredo the other day. Along with a comment about exploding spaghetti squash. I certainly didn’t mean to scare you off from this recipe!

Smoothies are back! Even though it’s winter, and very nearly froze my face off walking my son to the bus stop this morning, I can’t get enough of smoothies. Maybe it’s a New Years thing that I’m doing without even realizing it, who knows. I’d apologize for sharing a smoothie, but this is an awesome [...]This post Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Shake appea
I’m finally getting my sense of taste back! Yay! I thought just to be safe I’d share something simple so this awesome taco soup came to mind.

I know I’m a little late, but I’ve really been enjoying looking at other bloggers end of the year roundups so I thought sharing mine late is better than never I’ve been under the weather but I’m finally starting to feel better so I’m hoping to back with some recipes soon.

As promised… A cookie Roundup! I just had to round up the cookies I’ve done in the past here on Food Doodles. I’ve even forgotten about some of the cookies I had posted here.

Well, I have to start out with an apology. I have so many more cookies I want to share with you, but I think I’ll have to save them for next year. Maybe not all the way till next holiday season, but in January not everyone wants to see cookies, so I’ll hold onto them [...]This post 100% Whole Wheat Dutch Kruidnootjes(or Dutch Gingerbread Cookies) appeared first on Food Doodles.

Aren’t these such pretty little cookies? They can be really frustrating though… I’ve never had a problem with meringues until this recipe. For something so simple, a lot can go wrong. I’ve added a bunch of notes in the recipe so you don’t make the mistakes that I made. Even still, these ones aren’t [...]This post Eggnog Meringues appeared first on Food Dood
Hello all! I hope you’re excited for more cookies! I have to be honest, I’ve wanted to post so many cookie recipes on Food Doodles, but I always kind of felt that they didn’t really fit into my area of the food blogosphere. I don’t know why I thought that – I’m so happy to [...]This post 100% Whole Wheat Chewy Oatmeal Coconut Cookies appeared first on Food Do
Next up on Cookie Week here on Food Doodles are some of my favorite cookies. I’m a sucker for chocolate cookies as it is, but chocolate and mint together is my absolute favorite. Especially if the cookies are thick and chewy and crisp around the edges. That’s gotta be my definition of the perfect cookie, [...]This post 100% Whole Wheat, Double Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies appeared fi
I’ve always tried to keep Food Doodles all about the food, but in light of the events of last week I’m finding it so hard even to write about something as simple and light and easy as food.

I am in love with these muffins. A couple years ago it wouldn’t have taken very much for me to say that, but I’m a little pickier now. Most muffins are just not worth it to me anymore. Why waste the calories on something not that great, right? Well, let me tell you, these are [...]This post Whole Orange Fresh Cranberry Muffins appeared first on Food Doodles. Thank you for reading!
How good does this look? I really can’t get over how good this is. I just had a bowlful but I’m seriously contemplating another.

I’m so glad I finally get to share my biscotti with you! These might be pretty basic biscotti, but I love them so much.

So earlier today I decided on posting my biscotti that I mentioned earlier in the week… But then I sat down to write out the post and realized the pictures weren’t very nice.

These are probably my simplest energy bites yet. And you would not believe how fast they were eaten. They’re like cookie dough so I think you can assume how awesome these are.

This isn’t your average apple crisp. It’s full of tart fresh cranberries and it has a secret ingredient in the topping that makes it just a touch spicy. But not in a spicy-like-cayenne-pepper kind of way. Because that might be kind of gross.

This is a little embarrassing… I hadn’t tried pumpkin macaroni and cheese up until this point…. I think I’m seriously the last one to try it. I’ve been seeing everyone raving about it for ages now.

What’s with cheesecake? It looks perfect until you take it out of the oven. Or until it cracks… Am I right? The same with this bread.

Hi everyone!! I am so excited to get back to blogging. I’ve spent a couple mornings mostly in the kitchen testing out some recipes and it feels so good. It is so hard getting caught up though.

I couldn’t help but share one more summery dish even though my poor tomato plants are all done now. I actually made this for dinner one night, not even thinking to take pictures.

Ahh, peaches. The season for peaches is way too short. The amount of peach recipes on the blog certainly does NOT reflect how much I love peaches.

So I have a little bit of a problem with recipes that are named breakfast cookies, but have ingredients I wouldn’t want for breakfast. Like a cup of butter and a cup(or more) of sugar.

So…. I was waiting for cherries and peaches and even tomatoes for what seemed like forever. And now, all at once I have everything.

I thought a sweet treat would be in order after a week of zucchini on the blog(even though it was delicious!) and a weekend of camping for us.

Here’s the thing…. For the longest time, I’ve thought I suck at making pancakes.

Whenever we went out to eat when I was a kid fettuccine alfredo was always the first thing I looked for on the menu. I wasn’t very adventurous so it was usually a safe choice.

I’ll admit, I was skeptical about this recipe. Zucchini just seems like such a wet vegetable, how could it bake up into crispy fries? But it does. And it’s awesome.

They do get soggy [...]This post Baked Zucchini Fries with Marinara Dipping Sauce appeared first
