There are some recipes that you just grow up with. You know, those recipes that are scribbled on a wrinkled piece of paper covered in batter. I can’t tell you where this recipe originated. All I know is that my mom has made these brownies for as long as I can remember. They are my…
New Year's Resolutions
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…
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…
Hummus
As I have mentioned before, I am married to a lover of beans (I consider chickpeas to be beans). My hubby loves beans and I know that if he cooks dinner I can almost expect there to be beans and lots of veggies. He has been begging me to make hummus for some time now,…
Chickpea Veggie Soup with Smoked Paprika (GIVEAWAY!!!)
I know most foodie bloggers are posting super bowl recipes right now, but most super bowl recipes are heavy, fatty, and greasy. When you think “game day”, don’t you think chicken wings, burgers, chips, soda? I do too, but this year I am still going strong with my new year’s resolutions, believe it or not….
