Our blueberry cornmeal pancakes are fluffy and light-textured, thanks to buttermilk and a combination of baking powder and baking soda. The cornmeal sets them apart from traditional pancakes, making them great for lunch or a quick evening meal. We love to add blueberries to our pancakes just because they taste so good, but the pancakes […]
This blackberry orange quick bread is so good it can almost double as a dessert. It’s made with extra virgin olive oil for a healthy alternative to classic butter recipes. The addition of orange zest helps balance the flavor of the olive oil and complements the sweet taste of the berries.
Made with extra virgin olive oil, this quick bread not only tastes delicious, but it has the added health benefits associated with olive oil. The blueberries and zucchini have their own list of vitamins and antioxidants as well. It’s easy to make and tastes even better the next day, assuming that there’s any left the next day.

With strawberries, avocados, and walnuts, this healthy salad is a powerhouse of nutrients. Because the ingredients are so good, we wanted to find a dressing that would enhance their flavor. Our honey-mustard vinaigrette is light enough not to overpower the salad, but assertive enough to balance the flavors of the strawberries and avocados. It’s easy […]
