My last post was a week long menu plan and two of the dishes called for cauliflower rice, so I thought a caulfilower rice tutorial was in order! WHAT IS CAULIFLOWER RICE? Cauli-rice is a substitute for rice made completely from cauliflower. Use it in place of rice, couscous, quinoa, and such. We really like…

Christmas Morning Crepes
Today has been a good day. Today is Christmas Eve, but my little family of three has been pretending that today is Christmas Day. We celebrated Christmas Eve last night. My husband will be working all day tomorrow so we moved all our festivities up a day. Its our first Christmas with a child that…
Creamy Italian Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce (Vegan)
Sometimes while I am chopping veggies or washing dishes, I grumble to myself about how I wish I was on a beach relaxing instead of dealing with the daily grind. We are all guilty of this. Lately I have been unable to do anything around the house because of a very bad allergic reaction on…
Sweet Potato and Mushroom Hash
This Sweet Potato and Mushroom Hash recipe came about when I was in need of something to go with my breakfast-for-dinner Savory Whole Wheat Waffles Topped with Fried Eggs. I felt like I needed to add some more veg to the meal. And when the chill in the air makes its way into my home,…
Chocolate Pumpkin Dump Cake
This Chocolate Pumpkin Dump Cake was inspired by a recipe I posted a few years back for my original Pumpkin Dump Cake and it is still my most viewed and loved recipe on my blog. It’s a recipe my mother passed down and one of my very favorites from my childhood. Its one of the easiest…
Savory Whole Wheat Waffles with Fried Eggs and Avocado
I’m on a massive runny yolk kick. I refused to eat an egg with a runny yolk for twenty six years of my life. My egg would always be squashed flat on the pan cooking a good two minutes longer than my husbands. Then one day I took my sister out for breakfast to a…
Thai Quinoa Cabbage Rolls (Vegetarian)

Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Peach Short Cakes with Cinnamon Mascarpone Whipped Cream
Is there anything better than fresh, ripe, juicy peaches? Perhaps only one thing is better: fresh, ripe, juicy peaches stuffed between warm brown sugar and cinnamon biscuits with clouds of cinnamon mascarpone whipped cream. I found some glorious peaches for 50 cents a pound and I just could not resist buying tons of them. I…
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….
Hot Cocoa Cookies
I have a personal tradition of drinking a cup of hot cocoa on the first snow of every winter. I always load it up with whipped cream drizzled with caramel and sprinkled with a little bit of hot chocolate powder. The first snow of winter calls for a little indulgence. Whether its to celebrate or…
