I need to take a minute to gush, here. And I mean gush and rave and jump up and down with excitement. What could get me so excited? CREAMY ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE!!! Oh. My. Goodness. This stuff is amazing and addicting and I think I am drooling on the key board. Can I…

Preventing Picky Eating in Kids: The Baby and Toddler Years
I have a sweet little girl who is two. I wish you could all meet her. She is pretty awesome. She is silly, adventurous, curious, and funny. She loves to read, dance, visit new places, and show off for people. But most of all, she loves to eat! Stella has always been full of…
Deliciousness Across the Bloggosphere
I love cook books. I just love collecting them and flipping through them. One of my favorite things to do is sit down with a new cook book and put little tabs on all the recipes I want to try. I love cook books with lots of big, bright pictures. Perhaps that’s why I love…
Roasted Cauliflower Soup
If you read my last post, you know that I have been restricted to really mushy foods with no fiber or roughage. After a whole week of just consuming veggie and fruit juice, I slowly started to add real food back into my diet. I started with pureed vegetable soups. With the weather being below…
My Adventures in Juicing
Since my last post I did something I never thought I would do…I bought a juicer. My husband and I put together all of our Amazon gift cards that we got for Christmas and made the plunge. We were pretty excited to see this beauty on our doorstep (The box, not the baby. Although, she…

One of my very favorite things in the whole world is slowly walking through a farmers market. There is nothing better. I just love the freshly baked goods, the freshly picked fruits and veggies, the little handmade trinkets, the people-watching. Last week I caught one of the last markets of the season and went all…
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…
Tropical Green Smoothie
I love Saturdays! Its Tuesday now. Blah. Today my house is a mess and my daughter is teething, but last Saturday was spectacular. What a great day! Do you ever have just an truly relaxing, happy day and you just want to bottle it up so you can open in up, like a scent, any…
National Breakfast Month: Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal (No Added Sugar!)
Funny story. I keep the oats on top of my fridge. You know, in that card board-ish cylinder container with a plastic lid. I reached up to pull them down to make this oatmeal recipe. I was completely shocked to get a face full of oats. I had my glasses on, so I didn’t get…
National Breakfast Month: Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Breakfast Shake, General Mill’s BFAST, and a GIVEAWAY!!!
I have this really cool friend. Her name is Meg. She is really good at making sugar cookies. We swap cookie cutters, squeezy bottles, and food coloring markers. If I need a super good variety of big cupcake frosting tips, I call Meg. If I need some hazelnut flavoring, I call Meg. If I need…
