Food – Just Enough Tech

Vegan Cornbread

Over Thanksgiving and Christmas last year, I discovered this recipe for vegan cornbread. It has quickly become one of my favorite hiking treats. They are so easy to whip together first thing in the morning. You can have them ready just as you drive out to your target trail head. I love that they areContinue reading “Vegan Cornbread”

Meringue Hearts

Valentine’s came and went this year and I have to admit it was a bit odd to have it at home socially distanced. That didn’t stop me from having a bit of fun in the kitchen. I ended up making meringue hearts. There isn’t a lot that goes into meringue so you can quickly pullContinue reading “Meringue Hearts”

Air Fryer Naan Bread

One of my life changing purchases that I made during this COVID era is an air fryer. I honestly got it because I wanted to reduce the number of grocery store trips I was making. I was a huge salad eater but unfortunately leafy greens and bag mixes don’t last that long in the fridge.Continue reading “Air Fryer Naan Bread”

Imperfect Foods: One Weird Sweet Potato

I’ve been getting my groceries delivered to me weekly now for about a month using Imperfect Foods. I love these guys. The service, aside from being very convenient, has a mission of helping the environment by focusing on selling meat and produce that cosmetically doesn’t meet the bar for grocery stores. Unsurprisingly, there is aContinue reading “Imperfect Foods: One Weird Sweet Potato”

Whole Wheat Biscotti

I’m having a lot of success baking with whole wheat flour these days. In fact, I am rather thrilled that I haven’t needed to make any sacrifices transitioning from regular white flour. Working with nut flours is still giving me some odd results though. I recently made cookies with almond flour and… well… it wasContinue reading “Whole Wheat Biscotti”

Noom Friendly Whole Wheat Sweet Potato Muffins

Veggie cake is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to bake. You can make something low cal and healthy that also satisfies that cake craving. Sweet potato followed by carrot are my veggies of choice. Sweet potato I find has a natural sweetness to it just like carrot but it is softer and easierContinue reading “Noom Friendly Whole Wheat Sweet Potato Muffins”

My Favorite Quick Bread: Irish Soda Bread

I have to say that by far, my favorite quick bread is Irish soda bread. It is something that you can whip up as soon as you wake up in the morning and have with a coffee for breakfast. It takes less than 10 minutes to make the dough which doesn’t need to prove. 35Continue reading “My Favorite Quick Bread: Irish Soda Bread”

My First Imperfect Foods Box

I finally decided to give Imperfect Foods a try, a grocery delivery service with an interesting twist. Basically, I got tired of going to the store especially with the COVID crisis going on. The lines and social distancing have made getting groceries take so long. In fact, before the crisis, I was getting pretty annoyedContinue reading “My First Imperfect Foods Box”

Nocking Point Coffee Club April Shipment

My Nocking Point Coffee Club shipment has arrived for the month and this time it has come with a lightweight backpack. As a coffee club member, you always get a lifestyle item with your monthly coffee. It’s a nice perk as the beans are already great. I really like this backpack. As a runner, I’veContinue reading “Nocking Point Coffee Club April Shipment”

Pre-order Quarantine Pinot Noir from Nocking Point

I’ve become a rather big fan of the Nocking Point winery. I’ve now made several purchases from them and have been quite happy with their wines and coffees. This month, they are putting out a pretty cool collaboration with The Kutcher Family, the Quarantine Pinot Noir. It is an Oregon based Williamette Valley wine. TheContinue reading “Pre-order Quarantine Pinot Noir from Nocking Point”
