Jazz Fest 2013

It was the best of times...and the worst of times. Being at NOLA's Jazz Fest 2013 was something we'd looked forward to all year and we were rewarded with some of the best music in the world.

Read about some of my favorite bands and some incredible vegan eats (can you say vegan jumbalaya three times fast? Me neither, but it's fun trying!

Berry Baked Donuts

Raspberries make a perfect addition to your morning donut!

Blueberries and raspberries combine to make these baked donuts not only delicious, but tipping the scale on the healthy side as well. That's what inspired me to share these Berry Baked Donuts...all the pleasure and only half the guilt!

Orange Ginger Bran Muffins

A delicious way to eat your fiber includes Orange Ginger Bran Muffins

Getting enough fiber in your diet may be more important than we once realized. But fiber and flavor seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum. Somehow the two come together quite nicely with these high-fiber, high-flavor bran muffins. Delicate hints of ginger and bursts of orange zest combine to make each bite a reason to look forward to the next.
