Mushroom delight? Whats that you might ask…
Are you as delighted by mushrooms as I am? I can’t even choose a favorite because i dig ’em all. I love the boldness of Shitake, the sweetness of Chanterelles, the fuller flavor of Porcini & really we could go on & on…
One of my favorite ways to prepare eggs is this Mushroom Delight Scramble.

I have been a lucky gal this summer. This was the 3rd restaurant review I have done in the course of a few weeks. See that Crispy Soft Shell Crab above? If I could have that everyday I would. Really.
Restaurant REV is tucked inside the Hotel Madeline right here in Mountain Village/Telluride, Colorado. To have this level of fine dining right here in my mountain playground is somethin’ really cool.
Let’s take a look at some photos….also please check out my review at Telluride Inside.

Looking for a great new breakfast, brunch or snack?
Great! Blueberry Quinoa is here to make your day. Yes, something soooooo simple is really that good. GREAT actually…
If you adore blueberries than this is a no brainer. Here we have blueberries that have been heated & ones that have not. This adds to the flavor.
A super quick ‘n tasty meal that can be prepared the day before you need it.
This gluten free & grain free recipe will satisfy quinoa lovers & will make you a quinoa fan if you are not all ready.
A hard sell? Nope not at all.
Instead of your typical bowl of oatmeal or cereal (which by the way I love both of those) you can go all wild and have this! I have a few other quinoa breakfast recipes on MarlaMeridith.com if you would like to check them out…
Did you know that quinoa comes in a few different varieties? Red, white, black & rainbow…(rainbow is really not at colorful as it sounds, it’s a combo of the three)
Close-up this red quinoa is quite seductive…
Especially if you add the whipped cream. Which I always do.
But you all ready knew that! Enjoy…

Brownies & cookies. The ultimate combination.
A guilt-free Paleo brownie cookie combo ~ irresistible. Just so you know I have eaten about 20 of these cookies in the past week. That means 2 batches have been baked & I have only shared like 4 Raspberry Brownie Cookies.
My hubs & kids can vouch for that. Just ask them. They begged. I handed over four….

Good morning & happy Friday! Often I get asked about what to pack for school lunches, but just as often I get asked about what we eat for breakfast.
Time & time again I’ve talked about how I agree with the idea of “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Not only does it taste great, breakfast gives us the energy to go, go go! Our bodies need healthy fuel to be fueled.

I pin brownies & bars like every second of my life.
Funny thing is though I have never posted brownies here on MarlaMeridith.com until today. These beauties are from the amazing new cookbook by Elana Amsterdam…Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry: Gluten Free, Grain Free, Dairy Free Recipes.
They are bursting with chocolate & you will definitely not miss the flour.
What could be more pleasant than a crumbly square filled with chocolate?
Not much I am certain.
Elana’s latest book is a lovely welcome into the world of Paleo cooking…
…if you have not dabbled in it all ready.
Also, it is a wonderful cookbook & resource for folks who have followed this diet for some time.
Please visit her blog Elana’s Pantry too…an astounding array of gluten-free recipes awaits.
What makes these brownies unique (different from other grain free recipes) is that it doesn’t even have the blanched almond flour typically used.
By some kinda magic (I think it’s the eggs) these brownies rise perfectly & have a lovely crumbly texture.
This pan did not stick around long at all. Nope. We all fought over each & every crumb.
What does that mean? I need to make more really soon. Like today.
Some other recipes that caught my eye are (there are nearly 100 recipes so it is hard to choose favorites!)
Hopefully you can get yourself a copy of this cookbook really soon…you will be pleased when you do.

Disclosure: I was sent this wonderful cookbook & I am so pleased to share my own thoughts and opinions with you.
