Rosemary Dutch Oven Bread

When I first started getting into blogging I read a ton of craft and sewing blogs. In fact, the only food blog I read was the Pioneer Woman. I guess I was in denial that there would be competition when it came to food blogging. I guess I thought I was one of the first…

Grilled Cheese with Pesto and Tomato

October 10, 2014 by Melanie 7 Comments

Grilled Cheese with Pesto and Tomato

Cheesey, buttery, white bread, grilled cheese. That’s how I remember eating them as a kid. Not exactly a health food, and they aren’t the easiest to light-up with the exception of reducing the amount of butter and cheese used and throwing in some veggies (or fruit) like this tomato! Although I love a good grilled…

Raspberry Cornmeal Pancakes with Lemon Curd

I am a bad food blogger. I don’t follow the national food holidays at all, but I noticed someone on twitter mentioned that yesterday was National Pancake Day and I since I am still recovering from my cold and rather tired I thought I’d whip up some pancakes for dinner instead of what I had…

Summer Memories and Chocolate Silk Pie

If you’ve read my about page you’d know that although I am a big fan of healthy eating, sometimes I like to splurge on things I wouldn’t necessarily label as “nutritious” and since the name of my blog is Nutritious Eats I have to preface things by saying this pie is not one of those “nutritious…
