Make-Ahead Monday: The Muesli Project

September 21, 2015 by Allison Hudson

Since visiting Munich and several small towns in Austria this summer, and being inspired by the phenomenal muesli breakfasts there, I have been on a quest to recreate this Central European staple. A cross between yogurt with granola and oatmeal, for me this muesli has the kind of magic that makes you look forward to tomorrow’s breakfast when you’re getting ready for bed. I cannot wait to one day return My Muesli in Munich, a store dedicated to the endless possibilities […]

Make Ahead Monday: Rolled Oats with Greek Yogurt & Mixed Berries

May 18, 2015 by Allison Hudson

With rain in the forecast today and tomorrow, combined with the particularly warm and humid weekend, this week’s make-ahead presented an unusual challenge in that I wanted it to be cozy-ish but not piping hot. (We climbed in the Gunks – (New Paltz, NY) yesterday in spite of hot and sticky conditions and the thought of even boiling water for traditional oatmeal was a non-starter while I was prepping this last night!) Here, rolled oats are ‘soaked’ in Greek Yogurt […]

Make-Ahead Monday: Mixed Berry Scones

May 11, 2015 by Allison Hudson

Lately I have such a hankering to bake! Even though the weather’s warming up I just really enjoy it, I think because even amid all the chaos a day (a week, a month, life) can bring, baking requires weights and measures, plus patience, and for me lends an actual sense of calm! Also, it’s fun to layer new ingredients and combinations on a foundation of general baking knowledge to expand the skill set. And if I’m being honest, I just […]

Monday Make-Ahead with Quinoa, Veggies and Eggs

May 4, 2015 by Allison Hudson

This morning, the Monday Make-Ahead resolution came in particularly handy as Paul had to be out the door at 5:30 am to catch a flight. Which meant that not only did this week’s make-ahead have to be especially fast, it had to be one in which the finishing touches were exaggeratedly obvious as I was not stringing together coherent sentences while prepping said breakfast. Two things I love about this to-go meal. One, while the night before prep takes a […]

Raspberry Sunflower Smoothie

April 26, 2015 by Allison Hudson

I can’t stop with the micro greens lately! This smoothie makes delicious use of them. It’s raspberry – mango base compliments the earthier flavor of Sunflower micros perfectly, creating a subtly sweet nutritional powerhouse. Have a great day!!!

Paul’s Perfect Poached Eggs

April 23, 2015 by Allison Hudson

Aren’t poached eggs just the best at times? It’s amazing that what’s one of the simplest of dishes – an egg boiled in water – can be so comforting, satisfying, delicious and nutritious all at once. We buy them by the dozen for a few dollars, but are also willing to shell out multiples of that sum if the mood for eggs strikes us while out for brunch. It does seem like the ones we order in restaurants can be […]

Chocolatey Chia Pudding with Strawberries & Hazelnuts

April 20, 2015 by Allison Hudson

Monday morning means we’re talking make-ahead breakfasts that will start the week off strong without sacrificing flavor or fun, and as such we kicked this week off with Chocolatey Chia Pudding. By using unsweetened cocoa powder and topping with hazelnuts, we’ve updated what has been flavor-wise for me one of the most life enhancing foods – Nutella – for a certifiably healthy breakfast. Along with strawberries, cocoa offers antioxidant benefits, but perhaps even more importantly on a Monday morning is […]

Sunshine in a Cup

April 19, 2015 by Allison Hudson

Green smoothies have quickly become a regular part of our routine, (here are two that we love) so much so that it’s already time to shake things up a bit in the ingredients department. Which is why I’m so glad to have begun to learn about the super-high nutritional content found in micro-greens, the teeny leaves found in the produce section next to the lettuce. They are often confused with sprouts, and understandably so – while the name seems to […]

Make Ahead Monday: Raspberry-Lemon Muffins

April 13, 2015 by Allison Hudson

While loving all the make-ahead bowls that have been devoured on Mondays lately, I started to miss baking! It can feel like Fall is the time to really dive into the baked goods, and for obvious reasons. Still I love a muffin (on Monday and for the rest of the week) and really who among us doesn’t? I wanted to make a version suited for spring, but being that we’re between growing seasons – unless I was going to make […]
