I’m back and it feels good! I took quite the blogging hiatus in order to move across the country, go on some road trips, get settled in a new town, and adjust to a crazy new life style. My husband graduated from medical school in May and started his Intern year of residency a…
Thai Inspired Raviolis with Cauliflower Veggie Filling and Creamy Peanut Sauce
This recipe is kind of out there. I admit it. But why not? Why not fill raviolis with a gingery veggie loaded filling and drizzle creamy peanut sauce over top. Who says Raviolis have to be strictly Italian? I also made it a little more Asian (and a lot easier!) by using wonton wrappers instead…
Indian Red Curry with Homemade Paneer (Indian Cheese)
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…
Cheesy Jalapeno Corn Dip (Lightened Up)
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…
Sweet Potato Salsa Veggie Burgers with Cholula Mayo
Is everyone just about fed up with winter? I am always so jealous when I see pictures of my Arizona friends in shorts living the good life. I just keep looking longingly out my window at my snow covered grill and wishing that I could walk outside and pick a bunch of basil from my…
Meyer Lemon and Raspberry Crepe Cake (Perfect Valentine’s Day Dessert)
So, I made myself and early birthday cake. My birthday isn’t for a couple weeks, but I needed an excuse to create this recipe I have had swirling around in my brain lately. I have so much to say about this cake! Lets break it down, piece by piece. First of all, it has…
Quick and Easy Green Curry with Veggies and Chickpeas
In my last post I talked a little about menu planning. I usually have a menu and I buy ingredients according to that menu. And usually buy some extra produce that I can use for snacks and lunches or just in case I can’t make it to the store in between menu plans. This week…
My Answer to the Question “So…What do you Eat?” (A Guide to Eating More Veggies in 2015 and Tips for Successful Menu Planning)
About four years ago I started slowly cutting meat out of my meals. For about two years I have been eating 95% vegetarian. Why? Well, its complicated. And its not the point of this post. And my point is certainly not to convince everyone to become Vegetarian. Not at all. I am not passionate about…
Buckeye Cake: Chocolate Cake, Peanut Butter Cheesecake, Peanut Butter Frosting, Chocolate Glaze, and Homemade Buckeye Candies
I had great plans for the new year. So many healthy recipes and tips on eating healthy. I promise I was working on a really great post about healthy food. I had every intention to post it today. I got a little bit side tracked. Chocolate Peanut Butter cake will do that to a person….
White Bean and Veggie Taco Soup
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I did! I have had a few technical difficulties with my computer over the last few weeks, so I haven’t been able to post all the recipes that I had planned this month. But we are back in business and I have lots of healthy recipes for the…
