Happy New Year! I hope you all had a restful and relaxing holiday. I took some time off and it was glorious! I needed a little R&R after all the hustle and bustle. Another thing needed in my life is some healthy food. The creamed, cheesy, butter-ladened foods have caught up to me. I’m feeling a…
Kabocha Squash Soup
The cold weather is the air and for me, there’s nothing better than a bowl of warm you to the core soup. We like all kinds of soups in our household, lentil, broccoli cheese, cauliflower and our favorite beer cheese. With the heavy food we’ll all be ingesting over the next several weeks, it’s nice to have something…
Lightened Up Chicken Tetrazzini
Fall is in the air. This is my absolute favorite time of year! The weather changes, all things smell of pumpkin and spice, candles are burning 24/7 in my house and warm comforting food is being created in the kitchen. There’s nothing better than comfort food, but we can’t have it all the time. I…
Zucchini Noodles
Happy Tuesday! I told you guys I was on a green kick last week, and I’m keeping it going. I’m a noodle lover, noodles of all kinds! Now these aren’t your typical starchy noodle, these are made with zucchini. No, they’re not going to taste like a starchy noodle, but they do satisfy my noodle…
Almond Crusted Chicken Tenders
Know by many names, chicken tenders, chicken strips, chicken fingers, whatever you call them, are staple in most households. I used to order only burgers or chicken tenders at any restaurant I went to until I met the hubs. I was like a mid 20’s five year old, sad but true. People love them because they’re delicious,…
Chocolate Tofu Pie
Chocolate Pie, does it get any better than this? If you ask my husband, he’d tell you no. This chocolate pie recipe is a bit different, it has a twist. It’s moo-less. What’s moo-less you ask? No dairy. In fact this pie is completely vegan (if you use Earth Balance instead of butter in the crust), because…wait for it…it’s made…
Baked Eggs in Avocado
Egg and avocado lovers unite! I like to call these Baked Eggs in Avocado, Egg in a Cado. I’ve been seeing this recipe for a few years all over the internet and have wanted to try it every single time. But then, I’m distracted by shiny objects throughout the day and forget all about it. Thank goodness for…
Apple Banana Oat Muffins
Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring. I think these muffins are a testament to that. Sure, they don’t taste like those jumbo sized, sugar-laden kinds you get at the coffee shop, but I happen to think they’re darn tasty. These muffins are made without refined sugars, but they’re also nutrient dense and full of fiber. They…
Detox Broth
Everyone needs a good detox now and again. I’m sure we can all admit, that we probably over did it in the indulgent food department over the past couple of months. Our bodies need a little healthy break after all that goodness. This is a clean and simple recipe that is warm and soothing. It can be sipped for breakfast,…
I love everything from cake to kale. Life is all about balance. I like to live, laugh and love to the fullest! Our time is too short not to enjoy ourselves.
