I have never been a fan of real hummus. I had tried all kinds. If it involved chickpeas(which I do not like anyways) I was not eating it. I recently heard someone talk about black bean hummus and I knew I could handle this one since I love beans! I borrowed the tahini from my [...]

We have started up making Fridays our Family Fun Nights. We stay outside a little later and play. We play board games. We enjoy the back patio together as a family more. I like to have fast easy meals that I can have ready or that are great even at room temp so I can [...]

This has become one of my favorite meatless meals. Luckily I can say the same thing for my husband. He is a big meat eater but he said this is one of his favorite meals sans meat. The original recipe called for Homemade Potato-Cheese Pierogi but honestly I do not have the time for that [...]

Here is our menu plan this week: Monday- Grabbing something Tuesday-  Veggie Stir Fry Wednesday- Chicken, broccoli, cheese casserole Thursday- Polynesian Meatballs Friday- Pizza Muffins Saturday- Ribs and Grilled Veggies Sunday- Mongolian Beef   Check [...]

You really can cook just about anything on the George Foreman Grill! Check out the video!   ** My notes: I used 2% shredded mozzarella cheese to cut down on some of the fat content. I also recommend spraying the foil with cooking spray to ensure the first noodle does not stick! Also, you will need more [...]

We really enjoyed this one! My husband is not a big Salmon fan but he enjoyed this one! I added more garlic then it called for because I love it. We also cooked this on my George Foreman Grill so it took no time at all! We served it with grilled zucchini and roasted Brussels [...]

I just got back from Austin Texas where I attended Fitcation. Talk about a amazing time and I enjoyed meeting so many great women. This week is about getting back on track and getting into a summer time groove. Today is the first day and it is not going too well. I need to take [...]

Oh man talk about a yummy and healthy meal! This one was so easy to prepare! I marinated the meat for 4 hours. I wish I had remembered to do it the night before though. next time! For veggies we used zucchini, squash, baby mushrooms, red and yellow bell peppers, and red onions. I love [...]

I really enjoyed this meal. A LOT! It was hard to just eat my serving size in this one. Luckily, the leftovers were just as good. We used the leftovers in salads and pitas! Coriander Turkey Breast 1-2 to 3 lbs fresh or frozen turkey breast, thawed 2 teaspoons of ground coriander 1/2 tsp onion [...]

I really enjoyed this dish! It was right up my ally since I LOVE Mexican food. I also loved to see a alternative to the deep fried tostados shells! I would of never guessed you could make them on a George Foreman Grill! Chicken and Avocado Tostadas 4-6inch corn tortillas 2 tbsp cooking oil- I [...]

This was yummy!! The leftovers will be used on our salad for lunch today. I really enjoyed the flavors on this chicken. We cooked it on the George Foreman grill of course. It cooked in record time!   Grilled Honey-Soy Chicken ingredients 1/3 cup orange juice 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons honey 2 [...]

This is definitely a “different” salad. I wish I could say I loved it, but it was just OK for me. My husband didn’t like it and oddly enough my daughter thought it tasted like our favorite green sauce at a Mexican restaurant in town. I blame the cilantro for that comparison. For me, the [...]

Finally! A healthy cookie that is good enough you can eat for breakfast! I think next time I am gonna pulse my oats just a bit in the blender before I add them in. The big pieces hurt my teeth. Yeah, I have bad teeth. I also added 1tsp cinnamon to the recipe and 2TBSP [...]

This is another recipe from my dear friend Rachel at Following in my Shoes. I only used two chipotle peppers and it was still very very warm. I would totally suggest starting with 1 pepper. Seriously. Try it out and if you want more heat then by all means add it! I also only used [...]

Salsa is one of my favorite things to snack on. I do not care for the hot hot stuff but I like most types of salsa. Until recently I have never had a “fruit” salsa. I finally set out to rectify this. I made Mango Salsa to go with our fish tacos one night. Loved [...]

I am very behind on getting this post (and many others) up. I apologize for the delay. Unfortunately my menu plan this week is nothing too exciting. The usual, quick fix meals for a insanely busy week! Monday- Mac and Cheese (yes that’s it, I’m aware its not too healthy but its been one of [...]

[print_link] Do you have frozen turkey left from Thanksgiving in your freezer still? I found a quart size bag in my the other day so I decided to be creative with it rather than throw it into the usual casserole dish. Enter the BBQ Turkey and Grilled Onion Pizza! Super Super Simple! No recipe really! [...]

We are back from Disney and we had the time of our lives! I have a whole series of posts to work on documenting our first real family vacation and talking about the wonderful companies who helped make it possible so make sure you guys sign up for email updates so you can check them [...]

[print_link] My dear friend Rachel at Following in my Shoes shared this recipe with me. I knew as soon as I saw it that I had to make it. I used my Pizza Dough recipe for the dough part and I made pepperoni, sausage, bell pepper and cheese in them. I did a few plain [...]

[print_link] This recipe was a HUGE hit for me, not so much for my family. The kids wouldn’t touch it(who is shocked by this anymore?) and my husband just didn’t really care for it. I think it was the vinegar. He is just not a fan of it. I plan to make this again but [...]
