Soft Pull Apart Rolls

Posted on November 9, 2012 by Julie Hashimoto-McCreery

I have a soft spot for homemade bread. No, I’m not talking about that location in my stomach, right around my belly button… Although baking often doesn’t help that spot, either. I used to be intimidated by homemade breads. I’d … Continue reading →

Posted on November 4, 2012 by Julie Hashimoto-McCreery

I have to admit something. I do not get super wrapped up in TV shows or trendy gossip. There aren’t any TV programs I eagerly wait for week-to-week (possibly because we don’t have cable). I do, however, have one thing … Continue reading →

Happy Halloweenie!

Posted on October 31, 2012 by Julie Hashimoto-McCreery

I’ll admit – I’ve never been one to go all out for Halloween. In fact, my anticipation for Halloween probably mimics that of an 85-year-old lady (no offense) rather than someone in their mid-20’s, or teens, or even mid-adult years. … Continue reading →

Whole Wheat Applesauce Banana Doughnuts with Almond Butter Glaze

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Julie Hashimoto-McCreery

Sometimes I will be getting through my day and out of nowhere I’ll think of a recipe that needs my attention ASAP. Six loads of dirty laundry to get through? No bigs. Dogs that need brushing so I don’t need … Continue reading →

Chai Spiced Homemade Applesauce

Posted on October 20, 2012 by Julie Hashimoto-McCreery

We have a Japanese maple tree that borders along our front yard and the neighbor’s house. It’s the tell-tale give away I depend on each year to determine fall’s arrival. The leaves transition from vibrant greens of every shade to … Continue reading →

Rosemary Garlic Parmesan Sourdough Bread

Posted on October 9, 2012 by Julie Hashimoto-McCreery

Once upon a time my sister had to define “eating pants” as we discussed her Thanksgiving menu versus my vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner plans. We talked about mashed potatoes, turkey, Tofurky, Field Roast artisan veggie roasts, green beans, buttery rolls, pies … Continue reading →

Broccoli Pesto

Posted on August 30, 2012 by Julie Hashimoto-McCreery

Sometimes it gets close to dinner time and I find myself wandering through the kitchen, rifling through the cupboards, examining what vegetables and herbs are on hand, not exactly sure where dinner is going to be found. Lots of times … Continue reading →

Thai Inspired Baked Wontons

Posted on August 27, 2012 by Julie Hashimoto-McCreery

I am not often one for appetizers. I know, it’s silly. And there’s no good reason. Often when I’m thinking of meals to cook, I skip over appetizers and instead focus on elements of the actual main courses and a … Continue reading →
