It’s no secret we tend toward vegetarianism here at How to Eat. While Dara and I both enjoy all foods, there is a heavy emphasis on plant based cooking in our homes. For me, it’s the same when eating out too. Make no mistake; I will not pass on a burger at a restaurant…

How To: Snack Healthy – Date and Almond Oatmeal Cookies
Simple seems to be the name of the game around this house lately. Last Monday brought you a simple, single-serving banana pancake and this week, a simple oat based cookie.
