Lemon, Olive Oil & Thyme Muffins

May 24, 2016 by AHS

These easy muffins are a nice departure from the typical sweeter ones I usually make – on the savorier side of the spectrum, but in this case by savory I mean a bit tangy, thanks to the lemon.  The cornmeal adds a sturdy bite and the olive oil just enough richness.  Be careful about the yogurt selection, as it can swing these into the too-tangy category!  ‘Traditional’ (e.g. not Greek) plain yogurt does the trick.  Kefir et al is little […]

Lemon & Rosemary Scones

February 14, 2016 by AHS

Re the visit out to Sonoma County last weekend, from which I admittedly returned with more lemons than may be able to use (unless you count freezing the juice): there was a component that we talked up for the whole week leading up to the trip and then entirely dismissed, and that is the impressive range of baked goods, particularly scones, that we have come across out in said country.  Grounds for dismissal were simply that the lauded bakeries are […]

Sonoma County Olive Oil & Meyer Lemon Cake

February 10, 2016 by AHS

Over the weekend, we got to go to a ranch in Sonoma County where a long lost family member (my brother-in-law’s step uncle if we’re counting) grows about an acres’s worth of grapes – enough to make several dozen cases of wine per year, with which among other things he brings bountiful country picnics with a tasting of several gold and silver winning varietals to life on a regular basis.  When we got there for a late lunch on Saturday, […]

Chocolate Cake Recipe Makeover

January 6, 2016 by AHS

Here’s something I learned this past December: in Victorian England, the end of Christmas celebrations actually fell on January 5th, or Twelfth Night, aka the last evening of the Christmas season.  The celebration included a very specific cake, called everything from Twelfth Night Cake to Plum Cake.  I would love to say that I picked up this bit of info due to a revisiting of Whistler’s works, a favorite artist who worked during the Victorian Era.  Alas, the info was […]

Recipe Makeover: Skillet Cornbread

December 2, 2015 by AHS

Back in October when we were working on our kitchen project, one of the things I posted about was the backsplash and decision making therein.  A detail I didn’t get into at the time is that it is almost always essential to take sample tiles home before committing.  As such, tile stores will lend you tiles to take home or sell sample sets.  Aforementioned Heath Ceramics sold me three samples each of our two viable color choices, returnable for store […]

Zucchini Bread Two Ways

September 19, 2015 by AHS

Since first spying our new home back in June, we agreed that a kitchen ‘facelift’ is in order, and set to locking the project in immediately.  As always when anticipating something I’m excited about, it feels like it’s eons away – when we met with a stone supplier for an updated countertop in early August, it felt like the start date of our project would never come.  Now, it’s a week away!  So in a panic I am baking and […]

Banana Bread with Peanut Butter Glaze

August 26, 2015 by AHS

Why did I bake banana bread today?  Oh, because the heat came on this morning… that and, it is easily the case that having homemade baked goods on our counter helps home feel warm and familiar.  We are getting there as far as settling into our new digs, in no small part thanks to repeated cooking and at last, baking. This batch of banana bread includes something I rarely if ever use: a glaze topping.  Typically I opt out of […]

Triple Berry Hybrid

August 24, 2015 by AHS

My berry addiction continues as squeezing in summer recipes feels all the more imperative – the shadows are getting longer earlier in my favorite sunny nook off our kitchen.  To the urgency add a coincidental l stop at a farmer’s market that had an overage of black berries, plus a huge berry sale at Whole Foods to make this special treat justifiable (it requires a ton of berries), and an all-berry bake was inevitable. I’m not sure if my favorite […]

Double Chocolate Mexican Wedding Cookies

May 1, 2015 by AHS

Is it just me or are the weeks flying by now that it’s Spring?  May 1st already!!  This First Friday feels a little more special since the the two are aligned, PLUS there is a very fun excuse for making all things Mexican-inspired in early May.  (As you may already know we’ve been working through a mini-Mexicican Appreciation Month around here.) For these First Friday Cookies I tweaked the Double Chocolate Chip Cookies we’ve come to rely on, including by adding chili […]

Granola Cookies with (Optional) Chocolate Chips

April 3, 2015 by AHS

Happy First Friday of April! Aka the first Friday of the month, when a health(ier) cookie is featured here at From the Athlete’s Kitchen.  This concept came to be when I resolved to find a middle ground between over the top sugar bombs and clumps of sawdust claiming to be cookies. In March, a few less successful granola cookie tests finally led to the angle of modifying an oatmeal cookie recipe, namely by replacing the oats with granola.  I turned […]

Spring Training Granola

March 12, 2015 by AHS

The pros and cons of March are an oft debated topic in our household, and I’d say for good reason.  The days are a little warmer, to the point that some – many of them are inviting enough to head out sans layers, overcoat, hat and gloves.  Outdoor rides may be accomplished without neoprene booties (or in my case, may be accomplished at all) and of course we have Daylight Savings.  On the flip side, the later sunset can trick […]

Chocolate Chip Cookies

March 6, 2015 by AHS

First Friday in March… That makes today cookie day!  For those who are catching up, I’ve dedicated the first Friday of every month to featuring a cookie that bridges the gap between the sawdust/cardboard cookie where fun goes to die and the half-your-daily-calories fat and sugar bomb.  I love this project, even if it is admittedly a little more challenging than I first thought – there are only so many indulgences that can be omitted before a cookie is just […]

Snowday Inspired Energy Loaves

February 18, 2015 by AHS

  At the outset of what might turn out to be the coldest week this winter, Paul suggested a muffin with a little more heft to it.  Muffins are often first bites here so the aim with these is to sustain a little longer into the morning.  Since we had ripe bananas, and since over the weekend I at long last replenished our peanut butter supply (!), the basis for such a breakfast was immediately obvious.  It was the forecast, […]

Double Chocolate Cookies with Orange Zest

February 6, 2015 by AHS

For a little while now, I’ve dabbled with ‘healthy’ cookie recipes and have come to one main conclusion – this is by and large a recipe for dissapointment.  There are a myriad of ‘Healthy Cookie’ recipes floating around in the ether, ranging from one that includes two sticks of butter to those that look like a haystack (and not the lovely coconut kind) and taste like a two by four.  And after testing several HC concepts with no break for […]

Chocolate, Walnut & Banana Muffins (with no Added Sugar)

February 2, 2015 by AHS

Late during the Fall of 2014, one of us was riding home from work with more than we could carry.  As ever, we remained undeterred on the bike – the solution was to simply stop for a shopping bag to manage the load and continue the journey.  Well it just so happened that the nearest store was a Lindt Chocolate boutique and to our great surprise and delight, that very night they were having an unannounced 50% off sale on […]
