Caprese Salad To Go It’s tomato season! There’s something about a fresh, juicy tomato straight from the garden that just says summer. Not knowing it at the time, I got spoiled as a kid because we had a plethora of tomatoes, bursting with flavor, from our garden every summer. As a grown […]
My lactation granola bar recipe is one of the most popular on my blog, and for good reason. They’re delicious, nutritious, and provide nursing mamas with a boost. There are lots of ingredients here that nursing mamas need for energy and to help their body produce milk, especially oats, flax seed, brewer’s yeast, and coconut. […]
I started last year with a post that included a vow to attempt to blog more often. I held true to that for a little while, but as time went on it went by the wayside. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I’m a full time working mom of an almost […]
I saw a recipe on Pinterest not too long ago for Spinach Banana Muffins. I pinned it immediately because I’m always looking for a way to sneak veggies into our two year old, Wes (pureed butternut squash in macaroni and cheese, zucchini in spaghetti sauce, spinach on pizza, carrots and broccoli in his Indian food […]
You’ve probably seen the one pot meals floating around the internet, praised for the simplicity of cooking everything in one pot (even the pasta, gasp!), and touted as being simply delicious. Well, I’ve seen them, and they did seem simple – pasta, tomatoes, and basil – for example. Almost too simple. So I wasn’t really […]
I’m forever on the hunt for healthy things my toddler will eat. Whenever possible, I like to make things at home as opposed to buying them so I can control the quality of ingredients. The less additives, the better! Breakfast seems to be the most challenging meal for me be creative with. I’m a working […]
I saw a recipe a while back by Hungry Girl that was a Mexican casserole made with spaghetti squash. I read the recipe once and thought it sounded good, so I decided to make it. I love Mexican food, and I’m always game for a lightened up recipe. Well, the day I went to make it, […]
This dish was inspired by my pantry. I’ll admit, there’s enough food stocked in our pantry to last a good long while through an apocalypse. I was in there the other day and saw a bag of sun-dried tomatoes that had been sitting around for a while and thought, “I should use those.” So I looked […]
A chocolate dessert made with avocado…it seems weird, I know. But you don’t taste the avocado at all! I swear! It just gives the fudge a decadent, smooth, butteriness that is to die for. I actually feel a little naughty, like it is some sort of sneaky deception to put avocado in this silky, satisfying dessert. […]
Zucchini is one of those things that you can prepare a million different ways. Slice it, dice it, roast it, sautee it, grill it, fry it, put it in sauces, serve it with pasta, make zucchini bread, muffins, pancakes, tots, chocolate cake…the possibilities are endless if you use your imagination! The flavor of zucchini is very […]
