orangeheromama in For the love of food, Just Between Us - 3 comments - posted on Sep 24th, 2012I can’t get over the amount of twitter love that I have received for the recipe I’m about to share. It absolutely makes my heart glow! I’m always on the hunt for 5 star recipes that I then alter them if I can to ‘healthify’! I’m really not a fan of all the oils and sugars that seem to come with fabulous recipes! I also have to try and be creative when it comes to getting healthy fruits and veggies into my youngest one.

Moist and Yummy Apple Cake

Warm apple cider, apple crisp, the delicious apple pie that my man makes so well, apple butter, apple cake, oh how I could go on.

Mmm..Lemon Zucchini Loaf
orangeheromama in For the love of food - 4 comments - posted on Aug 10th, 2012Well, it’s (almost) that time of year again. Time for packing my girls school lunches, and for me that involves trying not to take the easy route and tossing in packaged convenience snacks! My girls definitely prefer my baking anyways! And if they want it with creative flair, then I can whip out the mini cookie cutters, so that the loaf I made is now in bite size cute shapes! (The slice with the cut-outs in it then becomes a snack with my mid-morning coffee! no waste!) Lemon Zucchini Loaf Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini 3/4 cup white sugar … Continue reading

I am currently a stay at home mom, but … Continue reading
