Just add eggs…
I usually make a variation of this when I have limited time to whip up a meal or when I just can’t think of anything else to make and it works great for…well…breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner. It’s pretty simple really. Just take whatever vegetables, green leafies, leftover meat, and/or beans that you have, saute them up, and then just…
More quinoa…
Well I’d say it’s about time for a new recipe post. I apologize for the delay, but things are getting busier around here which is all anyone can hope for with a new business right?? So anywho, I’ll just jump right in to it. I gave this recipe a try yesterday and I’m looking forward to…
Go green…and leafy…
Is it just me or are food product advertisements taking over the world!? Well those and pharmaceutical ads…but that is a story for another day. Everywhere I look I see an ad for some colorfully packaged provision boasting an above average nutrition content, claiming weight loss benefits, or making promises about various other health topics. …
Snackin’…
I have to give credit to my dear cousin Brita for this one; a lady who knows her way around the kitchen. I really love chickpeas–they have such a great buttery flavor and they are a wonderful source of fiber, zinc, folate, and protein. Did you know that chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans? So…
Bruschetta Chicken, Umm Yes…

Pico with peppers…
Make your own salsa!! Sharpen your knife skills (pun intended) and do some chopping with this recipe. Pico de Gallo (pronounced peeko day guy-o) salsa is a nice, fresh treat in the summer months. Again, it has that cilantro/lime combo that I love so much. Go ahead, give it a try. You know you want…
Gotta love the slow cooker…
The health goal here is really just to be cooking actual food. This would be a great dinner option to get us away from the packaged meals or fast food. SLOW COOKER ASIAN BEEF -Beef chuck roast -1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce -1/2 tsp ground allspice -1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes -2 Tbsp brown…
Salad made simple…
Well it is summer, which means it is time for veggies and fresh summer salads! I have several salad dressing recipes I’ll most likely share with you here, but since we’re getting into the busy mid-week I’ll share this one that just couldn’t be simpler. The thing about most of the store-bought, bottled salad dressings…
I Heart Cilantro
You’ll probably notice that a lot of my recipes over the summer involve cilantro and lime flavors. What can I say, there is just something about this combo in the summer months…it just tastes right. I learned this recipe from my aunt who is great in the kitchen. I modified it a bit. She makes…
