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…

New Take on Salad
It it just me, or have there been an excessive amount of those self serve frozen yogurt bars popping up everywhere? In Columbus, I see a new one opening up all the time. They have become really popular and I think the magic is in the toppings. From breakfast cereal to candy bars to mochi…
Fresh Vegetable Spring Rolls
How’s the weather where you live? Its been a little moody here in Ohio. Just this week there was frost warning at night and a day later the high was 92. In this spring weather, some days are perfect for soup and some are perfect for this spring roll recipe. I hate using the oven…
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…
Vegetarian and Sweet Potato Flautas
It’s the fifth day of a new year. How’s everyone doing with their resolutions? I really didn’t stress much about making resolutions this year. My goals are pretty simple and after a few spiritual goals, my resolutions consist of 1) have a baby 2) learn how to sew 3) meet my Goodreads goal of reading…
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…
Easy Corn Bread
Last week I posted the recipe for Black Bean Soup and if you looked carefully enough, you could see a thick slice of corn bread in the background of the picture. Corn bread is just one of those recipe’s that you should always have up your sleeve to serve on a cold winter day with…
Jack-o-Lantern Stuffed Bell Peppers
I thought I would post a Halloween recipe that isn’t going to give you a sugar high. So many Halloween and autumn recipes are sweet and sugary, which is in the spirit of the holiday, but you still need to eat dinner, right? This recipe was delicious! I usually don’t really like bell peppers, but…
Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms
Let me set up a scenario for you: I get home from work and its after 8. My husband just got home from campus and we both realize that there is no food in the fridge. We decide to go grocery shopping together, something I am hesitant about because it always ends up taking twice…
