Apple oat muffins. Sooooo good. I have been wanting to make this recipe forever. I kept seeing the little recipe card on the loose in one of my kitchen drawers and I just knew the kids would love these muffins. Also on my list of things to do has been making egg-free baked goods for…

Tomato Kale Soup and Meal Planning
What do you get when you have a big bag of kale to be used, a husband with a cold and a Dietitian wife trying to make him better? Homemade tomato kale soup! I have been trying hard to work on my own recipes- as in no adaptations, no inspiration or guidance from cookbooks or…
Heart Disease: Go Red and Blog Your Heart Out!
Today I am writing about a topic very important to me, heart disease, along with many other bloggers as part of the American Heart Associations’ Blog Your Heart Out Campaign to fight heart disease in women (and no we are not getting paid to do this, we simply support this movement and want to spread…
Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip
I had never been to a Pampered Chef party before living in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. I lived in the most awesome neighborhood and made several stay-at-home mom friends. To be quite honest, there wasn’t much to do there so we had all sorts of fun get togethers. I got introduced to Pampered Chef through…
Healthy Living Survey
My mother-in-law is visiting from Texas so I will be a little busier than usual. Since she is in town for 10 days we jumped at the chance to take her up on her baby sitting offer and go out to dinner for Valentine’s day. I think it’s been over 6 years since we went…

Raspberry Cornmeal Pancakes with Lemon Curd
I am a bad food blogger. I don’t follow the national food holidays at all, but I noticed someone on twitter mentioned that yesterday was National Pancake Day and I since I am still recovering from my cold and rather tired I thought I’d whip up some pancakes for dinner instead of what I had…
Spinach-Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms & Meal Planning
How was everyone’s weekend? Two of the kids caught a cold last week and passed it along to me. Luckily I caught a mild case of it and with a good nights’ sleep Friday was still able to run 8 miles with my running group. The only problem was that running for over an hour…
Eating Healthy When Dining Out
I fell in love with eating out at [good] restaurants when I was in college. I lived in Austin, Texas, how could I not? My friends and I would spend the weekends trying new places, spending money we didn’t have on full course meals. Not that we didn’t frequent a million inexpensive Tex-Mex places too….
