No Fuss Jambalaya Bake
We come home to a warm dinner every night. We spend 5 minutes putting our lunches together every morning. We rarely ever have the same meal two days in a row. How do we do it? Freezable Casserole Sundays I began cooking 2 casserole style meals on the weekends about a year ago. After they’re…
Apple Pie Muffin Clusters
Guess what I received in the mail last night? It was made out to Kevin, so it caused a bit of a ruckus when it first arrived. I let Kevin open it knowing darn well of what was inside. He looked disappointed and slowly lifted the object out of it’s box. “A NEW COOKBOOK!” I…
Green and Clean Pesto Lentil Patties

Breakfast #1: Green Monster Breakfast #2: Added hemp powder to my cereal Snack: Cucumbers and leftover cilantro pesto Lunch: Green and Clean Pesto Lentil Patties on a ginormous spinach salad Snack: Kale salad with pumpkin seeds… One of my friends growing up…
Strawberry Cream Kasha
I’m in shock when the women from my spin class tell me that they don’t eat something before coming to the class. After 5 minutes on a bike; if I haven’t eaten anything, I’m falling off of it. Without breakfast I get light headed, sleepy, impatient, confused [deer in headlights look – one day I’ll…
No bake Vanilla Fifteens
In a chocolate making class I went to awhile ago, it was explained that chocolate is a great delivery system for nutrients that we generally wouldn’t eat by themselves. Say, if we were to put seaweed in the chocolate as we’re making it. Seaweed is something that many people would cringe at if it were…
Cashew Caesar Salad Dressing
I get strong urges for vegetables, usually once a day. When the craving comes I cannot think of anything else. In the winter I usually crave potatoes, squashes, roasted veg, but today I wanted a BIG salad, and I wanted it now! We keep olive oil and vinegar on hand for these moments, but I…
Movin’ Along Raspberry Fiber Muffins
I went to my first “Masters Swim” class yesterday morning. Doesn’t the title of the class sound scary? Masters… like there’s going to be some serious athletes there. A place where blood, sweat, and tears will be flowing freely. I sat hidden in a change room stall for about 10 minutes before I gained enough…
Every Night Should Be Pizza Night
I removed everything from our fridge yesterday afternoon and cleaned every nook and cranny. This baby hasn’t been this clean since the day we got it! If you haven’t in awhile, take some time to organize your fridge. You’ll be amazed at how good you feel afterward. Your kitchen is the heart to your home….
Rawkin Carrot and Raisin Granola
It’s Thursday! This means a couple of things… I chose the winner for my Twitter giveaway this morning Only 1 more day until Friday! [Not associated with Thursdays at all, even though I’d like it to be] The 6 cookbooks that I’d ordered before Christmas were delivered last night! I only had a chance to…
The Little Tart That Could
Looks good doesn’t it. It fooled me too. I really thought this one was a winner. Last week my mom passed on a pear apricot tart recipe she’d found in a Real Simple magazine. It looked fantastic and had loads of gluten free and healthful potential. So, I decided to make it this past weekend….
