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…
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…
Salted Honey Butter Pop Corn
I guess we all survived the Mayan Apocalypse, which is good because I wasn’t looking forward to giving birth in a post-apocalyptic world…or dying. And hopefully everyone had a great Christmas, too! I know I enjoyed visiting my family in Idaho (even though I had to fly back to Ohio on Christmas Day). Two big…
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…
Mushroom and Spinach Enchiladas
It’s bad, people. I’m to that point in my pregnancy where my mind wants to nest and get ready for the baby, but my body wants to sit at the computer in my PJ’s all day. I actually want to go on a walk right now, but the only place I want to go is…
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…
A Month of Pie: Sweet Potato Pie with Toasted Marshmallows
Today was a wonderful day! Today was my first day of freedom! I am done selling shoes!!! Being six months pregnant, I can hardly put my own shoes on, let alone the shoes of customer after customer. But I can still make pie! Today I made a sweet potato pie with a cream cheese crust…
