I have talked about my husbands grocery store adventures on here before and many of my recipes come about because I sent him shopping. He likes to go grocery shopping, but he doesn’t like to follow a long list. So while, I always send a list with him, I can always count on him coming…

Portobello and Spaghetti Squash Stacks
Oh, it feels good to be eating healthy again! (Mostly. Ok, ok…I admit I just had 5 pumpkin spice marshmallows. Oops.) I just got back from a two week trip across the country to visit family. It was a blast! My little Stella got to meet so many people for the first time. I also…
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,…
Brown Rice with Creamy Cauliflower Sauce
If I had to pick my favorite dinner, it would be something Italian with a super unhealthy creamy white sauce. Alfredo something or other. Something with lots of butter, cream, and cheese. Sadly if I ate that as much as I wanted (every day) I would probably dead in 5 years. Luckily I have found…
Mediterranean Quinoa Salad
I am so excited! I am so excited about lots of things. For starters, life in general and the new life that’s joined my little family. I am excited that I have finally recovered from having a baby. I am excited for summer. I am excited to start going on walks and jogs. I am…
Tomato and Rice Soup
What do you do when you need to go grocery shopping, but you just don’t want to and all you have in your fridge is a couple carrots, an onion, and a few stalks of celery? I just hate going out and running errands in the cold winter weather. So I knew I would have…
Spaghetti Squash Casserole
I love this casserole! It’s really easy and the Italian flavors really perk up the squash. I will usually tolerate winter squash, but this in this meal I forget that I don’t really like squash. It reminds me of a yummy baked pasta casserole. Just make sure you plan enough time to roast the squash…
Black Bean and Corn Quinoa Salad
Last week some friends invited us over for dinner and we offered to bring a side dish. I had no idea what I was going to make, even when I started making this. I had a nice new bag of tri color quinoa, so I started cooking that, not knowing where I was going to…
Greek Salad Pita Pockets and Tzatziki Dressing
Summer is in full swing in Columbus, Ohio, and I am in the mood for something fresh! I am in the mood to make dinner without turning on the stove or the oven! This meal can go two ways. You can stuff the salad in a pita pocket or you can eat the salad as…
Sun Dried Tomato and Fresh Basil Bruschetta
Summer is coming!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband and I just planted out garden and we are super excited! We only have a tiny little amount of space on our back patio, so we filled it with herbs, a bunch of varieties of peppers, and a couple strawberry plants. Last year we had planted a bunch of tomatoes,…
