I was totally not planning on making this recipe. Actually, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Don’t tell anyone…….I actually never really know what I am doing. I am not one of those bloggers who have a two year plan and post strategically to get the most views. Those bloggers truly…

Crockpot Red Thai Veggie Curry
Mmmmm…Thai curry. Somebody please make me stop eating these Thai Lime & Chili Almonds from Trader Joe’s. I just ate one of the little dried chili’s and my mouth feels like hot lava. And I’m too lazy to go upstairs to get a drink, so I just keep eating them! I am a huge sucker…
Coconut Cauliflower Red Lentil Soup
After a quick burst of recipes to make in the heat of summer (Portobello Pineapple Burgers and Fresh Veggie Spring Rolls), we had a few days of cold, rainy, blustery weather. When it first started to rain, I opened all the windows to cool down the house and it never really warmed back up. I’m…
Roasted Vegetable Stacked Enchiladas
My sweet 2 month old daughter loves to “help me cook”. In other words, she is content to sit in her bouncy chair in the kitchen and stare at me while I cook. She has just started making spit bubbles. I love to look over at her while I’m cooking and see her smiling face,…
Healthy Black Bean Soup
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I sure did. My husband and I had 3 other couples over for Thanksgiving Dinner and it was delicious! I know everyone is gearing up for Christmas, now. I know there will be another round sweets and feasting before the New Year detox, but I can’t help but…

The idea of a Chex Party Mix-change is to cut out the holiday stress of…
Green Tomatillo Salsa (Going Green!!)
Is it just me, or is everybody really hung up on “going green?” I decided to do my part on the “green” movement, and so I extrapolated the concept onto salsa. Ok ok. It’s not a new idea, but neither is recycling or conserving energy:) So, here it is… Ingredients: 3/4 lbs. tomatillo, peeled, washed…
Jalapeno Jack Potato Soup
Reader, have you ever read The Tale of Desperaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread by Kate DiCamillo? It is my favorite book. It is such a quaint, clever, and profound little book. I have read it three times and it doesn’t get old to…
Spicy Baked Potatoes
My husband is very nice about letting me experiment in the kitchen. He likes how I like to try cooking new things. He never requests or asks me to make things. I told him that I wish he would like something so much that he would beg me to make it. Well, today he found…
