Butternut Squash Stuffing
Yesterday I kicked my kids out of the house (with their Dad of course) so that I could watch Thanksgiving Live on the Food Network. I absolutely loved it last year and learned some great tips! It totally got me in the mood to cook and now I can’t wait to eat Thanksgiving dinner! I’am…
Happy 2nd Birthday Nutritious Eats + a GIVEAWAY!
Nutritious Eats turned TWO last month. I meant to celebrate earlier but I’ve already mentioned how crazy October is for our family. I can’t believe that I have only been blogging for 2 years yet I can’t believe how fast the time has flown. I dreamed of starting this blog years before I actually did….
Who Will You Be Missing This Thanksgiving?
Is anyone else in disbelief that Thanksgiving is almost here? It is such a lovely holiday where the focus is on family, friends, good food and being thankful. How can you not love it? One of the unfortunate parts of being in the military is that we usually live far away from family and…
Crostini with Whipped Feta and Tomatoes
This is hands down one of my favorite appetizers ever. I made it for the first time a while back when my mom was in town and we ate it several nights for dinner. Wine and crostini. What more do you need? By the way, have you ever wondered the difference between crostini and bruschetta?…

Homemade Potato Chips with Dipping Sauce
I am stressed people! Sometimes when I am stressed I need to munch on crunchy things and I also have to run (must have those exercise endorphins flowing) so it helps balance everything out. I still feel like I haven’t completely moved in, there are boxes still waiting for me in the garage, the hubs…
Roasted Vegetables and Cheese Tray Appetizer & Meal Planning
Ahh, Halloween is over and two of my children’s birthdays have come and gone and now I can focus on family visiting for Thanksgiving and our trip to San Diego! Plus I can hopefully crank out lots of recipes between now and Christmas- such a busy time of year! In the military typically when you…

Jalapeno-Ginger Butternut Squash Soup
Butternut squash are common winter squash, but because they store so well are available year-round. Butternut squash not only has a gorgeous hue, they are sweet and rich when cooked. I don’t cook with squash on a regular basis, but this is one of my favorite ways to use it! It is super healthy yet…
