I have one thing to say to you: make this bread. It will immediately put you in the mood for fall and it’s so moist and delicious. I was craving gingerbread and it’s not easy to find a good recipe since most are for cookies or cakes. I wanted more of a breakfast bread or…
Strawberry-Feta Salad & Meal Planning Monday
Well I happy to say that the party we threw last night for my husband’s work group was a big success. The brisket ended up being one of the best we’ve ever eaten. I am talking better than Rudy’s or any BBQ restaurant for that matter (for those of you Texans that know it). We…
Green Curry in a Hurry & Meal Planning Monday
My husband and I used to go to this amazing Thai restaurant in San Diego, Siamese Basil. Please go if you ever have the opportunity for you will be sure to get some of the best Thai food. Their green curry was unbeatable and that is when we really fell in love with the dish….
Carrot Spice Muffins
You know how I mentioned packing healthy homemade muffins in your kid’s lunches? I love this one and have been making it a lot lately: Carrot Spice Muffins. I had a hankering for warm, freshly baked muffins and I wanted to incorporate a veggie. I was deciding between zucchini and carrot and since I make…
Marinated Cucumbers & Meal Planning Monday
I am in love with having a garden. I mean, it’s nothing fancy and yes the strawberry plant was a bomb as were a few of the herbs, but the cucumbers, let me tell you about the cucumbers….we get a few large ones each week and it is SO fun to watch them grow. Cucumber…
Easy Black Bean Burgers
“Beans, beans, they’re good for your heart…” Sorry, I can’t not think of that song when talking about beans. I don’t eat a ton of veggie burgers, but I do really like them. Like I’ve said time and time again, I am always trying to make stuff from scratch to cut down on unnecessary preservatives,…
Meal Planning Monday
I am sitting here wondering what I should write about and I am coming up short, which is funny because I’ve had food on the brain a lot lately. The minute we had these fall-like temperatures, I couldn’t help but think of food….soups, warm baked bread, the Holidays! Then there is my son’s birthday next…
Coconut Granola Bars
I love baking up treats to have around the house- I try to freeze at least half of the goodies in individual portions so that I can pull out a homemade snack when needed. Lately every time I pick up a box of some sort of snack at the store, I think to myself “I…
BBQ Cola Chicken & Meal Planning Monday
I found a can of coke in my fridge from when we had company and decided it was going to be put to good use. This grilled chicken was really yummy with this sweet and tangy homemade BBQ sauce smothered on top. If you want the recipe, I posted it over at Our World Family….
The Perfect Snack- Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls
When I followed the vegan diet for a week I was craving sweets in a bad way. I mean, I am pregnant and I need chocolate. However, I was good and avoided pretty much anything sweet until day 6 when I couldn’t take it anymore. I stared into our pantry hoping that something animal-free would…
