Eggs Florentine Brunch
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on July 28th, 2010
I love Eggs Florentine and had such a hankering the other day that I decided it was time. Well, ok I was in a car accident…..(what is it with young boys loving to hit my car????) So I was hankering for some comfort food and this just does it for me. It really is an […]
Hummus kicked to the curb!
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on July 27th, 2010
I finally found some dried chick peas at the supermarket and wanted to make some hummus. I haven’t made some in a while, and I like to soak the beans myself. If you haven’t noticed I have the DIY gene really bad! Wanted to make hummus but with the new added twist (or not so […]
Morning Muffin…….again…and the dog park!
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on July 25th, 2010
I have been on a tinkering quest with this morning muffin. You know the one, with the pineapple, coconuts, applesauce, carrots one? Yeah. That one. Well, I think I have tweaked it enough to satisfy enough nutritionists on the West Coast, to say the least. Here is what I have decided is delicious and nutritious. […]

Abbey…….Abbey Normal………..!
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on July 12th, 2010
It was a hundred degrees the other morning. So, like a good energy saver I was up at the crack of dawn, kids fed, dogs run, house cooled and had tried to get all of my baking/cooking done before 9am. Like the old days, if I do say so myself. However, there was one small […]
Nutella Oatmeal Cookies…..oh yeah!
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on July 9th, 2010
Remember that Nutella Day……..MONTHS ago??? Yeah, I don’t think I had ever heard of Nutella day and had never even ever purchased some until the beau brought some over one day. Hmmm, it was good, but I wasn’t sure how technically healthy it was. As you may know, I don’t keep too much sugar and […]
Quinoa Salad…….just in time.
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on July 7th, 2010
Summer arrived ………with a BANG. Finally….uh-oh! Nothing like a 15 degree temperature rise! This QUICK and oh so perfect salad was one I will be making a lot this summer and most likely right into winter. It took no time at all, especially if you make the quinoa ahead of time (early in the morning) […]
Salmon Dip…….super easy!
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on July 5th, 2010
Found yet another great party dip on tastespotting. Yes, I fell off the vegetarian band wagon again, but when serving my carnivore guests, need to give them something they will happily dive into. This was a huge hit! For the Fourth of July weekend, I just HAD to make something small and different in addition […]
