Spooky Mini Turkey Meatball Sliders

October 1, 2014 by EmmaEats

It’s sorta scary. It’s Halloween-y! Incredibly, the month of September has flown by — just as the rest of the summer. Hopefully though, you’ve had a wonderful start to the school year. After a spectacular hiatus with Katie and Emma over their summer vacation, it’s time for me to get back to a routine as well. What better way to get back into the kitchen than to prepare Halloween treats. These meatball sliders are super simple and so much fun. Buy some or all of the components or make them yourself. […]

Hot Cross Buns, Vegan and Traditional | EmmaEats

Hot Cross Buns, 2 ways – Vegan and Traditional

April 2, 2014 by EmmaEats

You need to make these right away. Hot Cross Buns. They are as much of an Easter tradition as the Easter bunny and painted eggs. Although I didn’t try them until well into adulthood, Emma was born a fan of hot cross buns. I had intentions of making them for years but my aversion to working with yeast (I’ve gotten past that now – see here, here and here) and the raisins (she loves them, I don’t) has always resulted instead with us picking […]

Oatmeal Spelt Banana Bread [Vegan] | EmmaEats

Oatmeal Spelt Banana Bread, 2 ways [Vegan or Dairy-Free]

August 15, 2013 by EmmaEats

The first day of school will be here in a flash. Truth be told, I’m not ready for the first day of school quite yet. And, I’m pretty certain Emma isn’t either. How about you? Are you and the kids ready to call it quits on summer vacation already? Since the first few days of school will be rather bittersweet, I’m hoping to ease the bitterness with a few treats including these ever popular spelt crust pizza buns and this banana […]

Ham and Cheese Quickbread

May 23, 2013 by EmmaEats

I wish everyday could be Mother’s Day. With children, there are few places where quiet can be found. Usually, quiet comes along with bleary-eyes late at night, or occasionally, early in the morning after a long night. Hopefully that quiet is accompanied by your significant other, maybe a glass of wine, or a good book or movie. Quiet came for me early on Mother’s Day morning. We had a late night the evening before so the girls were still asleep. I […]

Whole Wheat Olive Oil Flatbreads, 3 ways

April 11, 2013 by EmmaEats

It’s here, it’s here, it’s here! Thank goodness Spring is here. I’m so grateful that the weather is warming up and the sunshine is finally coming to stay. As the dredges of winter worked themselves away, it has been difficult to find inspiration. Have you felt the same? Thankfully, there are little hints of spring around – the blooms on our yellow magnolia are peeking out, the crocuses and tulips are starting to poke out of the ground and the squirrels […]

Braided Easter Bread [Paszka] | EmmaEats

Braided Easter Bread, 2×2 ways

March 14, 2013 by EmmaEats

Food is more than just sustenance. It’s appreciation. It’s an exercise for your senses. It’s family. It’s tradition. Every Easter (and most Christmases), my Mother and prior to her, my Grandmother, made a golden sweet braided bread, similar to challah, baked in a large bowl to be shared during our celebratory feast. As a child, I didn’t really understand the meaning of the bread, only that I loved it and that it was a tradition of our family to share […]

The last time I saw Paris – Spelt Parmesan Gougères

April 30, 2012 by EmmaEats

Earlier this week, I was reading about Jamie Oliver and Food Revolution Day coming up on May 19th. The theme “Bring Food Education Back” made me think about one of the reasons EmmaEats came about – to help inspire families in their kitchens. As I read on, I learned that food education is not compulsory in schools worldwide. How disappointing for kids today! I learned so much back in Home Economics class. Do you remember having to take Home Ec and about […]

Got a bun in the oven!

January 24, 2011 by EmmaEats

Well, 8 actually! On a few occasions lately, we’ve found ourselves low on fresh bread. May have something to do with the colds/flu/tiredness floating around our house. Nonetheless, we made the realization we were out of bread when G briefly mentioned meatball subs one evening around dinner time. (I *love* meatball subs!) I couldn’t stop thinking of them. Knowing that Emma loves meatballs and bread, this was a no-brainer. Except bread = yeast! Again, my aversion to yeast recipes! Thankfully, […]

Not for the faint of carb

August 12, 2010 by EmmaEats

My family is a carb-loving family. My daughter could eat pasta for every meal, every day if we permitted it. My husband can eat multiple loaves of bread weekly, and if I had to pick one food to eat for eternity, it would probably be pizza (one cannot sustain oneself on chocolate alone). So imagine the horror when we realized one holiday morning that we had no bread for toast/sandwiches/snacking! Thankfully, after some quick thinking (and searching the cookbooks in […]
