My cookbook was featured in the newspaper!

Today is an exciting day – my cookbook was featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newspaper!

Sweetphi cookbook featured in the newspaper

If you don’t live in the Milwaukee area and would like to read the article, here is a link to it. I can honestly say, I don’t know how Alison, the amazing interviewer/author of the piece, did it…we had over an hour-long conversation, plus multiple emails, and she was able to condense it all into a truly beautifully written article. I am so thankful and wowed by her work!!

In the article I share a few recipes from the cookbook, and I was making the peanut butter sea salt cookies (that’s what you see me making in the picture – they’re so incredible, worth the price of the cookbook alone!)

Recipes from Fast and Easy Five Ingredient Recipes Cookbook

In the feature I talk about the story behind the cookbook and my Five Ingredient Friday’s series, which is where the idea of the cookbook started. I also love how Alison captured my daily life and shared about my small kitchen. What you have to realize, is that (probably typical of my crazy busy days) when we did the interview we were probably interrupted more than 5 times – work needing to get done on the house, a work phone call that needed to be answered, husband coming home from work, in the middle of making dinner etc. I apologized, but then we both laughed because it is pretty typical of one of my evenings. That is one of the many reasons I wrote the cookbook and am in love with the title Fast & Easy Five Ingredient Recipes: A Cookbook for Busy People.

Because we’re all busy, right? I’d love to make dinnertime a little easier. Thank you again for all your support.

    Before the advent of the Internet and food bloggers, the Milwaukee newspapers were my go-to for new recipes. When I would visit my parents in Brookfield from here in northern WI, the food sections of their papers were the first things I would read. Congratulations on making the news, and more importantly, your new book. I have seen your recipes and other publicity regarding your cookbook on other food-bloggers sites, and it’s being very well received! You’ve made it, Phi!

  • Bookmark this post for the recipe for these incredible almond butter date pepita granola bars, these are definitely a must make, and only 206 calories per bar (they are so filling and delicious!!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups oats
3/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup pepitas
12 pitted Medjool dates
1/2 cup dried pineapple, chopped
1/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup raw honey
2 tablespoons coconut oil
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
Toast oats, coconut flakes and pepitas (5-8 mins), until slightly golden brown. 
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Process the dates and pineapple in a food processor.
Transfer to a medium bowl; add the oats, and pepitas, stir to combine.
Combine the almond butter, honey and coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until smooth, about 3 minutes.
Pour the almond butter mixture over the date mixture and stir well. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with a piece of plastic wrap, and press onto the surface of the mixture. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
Using parchment paper, remove the frozen mixture from the baking dish, cut into 12 bars.
Store in the refrigerator, good for 2 weeks.
