Oh. My. Gosh. I can’t believe I took the whole week off blogging, but I was so inspired and excited when I returned from the International Food Blogger Conference on Sunday that I didn’t know what to do with myself first. The conference left me recharged for blogging which was great because I totally needed a pick-me-up. I started brainstorming…
Vegetarian Hummus Pita Pizza
Toasted pita bread and hummus reminds me of my college roommate and friend-turned sister-in-law (how fun is that?). She used to eat it often and it became one of our quick lunches in between classes. The lightly warmed and toasted pita was so good with a smear of hummus on it. I thought this time…
Caramelized Hemp and Chia Seed Popcorn
I just explained some of the benefits of hemp seeds (and hemp products) in my last post and wanted to use up the last of my hemp hearts before buying a fresh bag. Caramelized Hemp and Chia Seed Popcorn is what I cooked up for a snack this weekend. I am in love with this…
Homemade Ranch Dressing
Hi friends! I just wanted to post a quick update on my pregnancy since I have been a bad blogger since the morning sickness hit. I am 11 weeks and feeling better each day, nausea is a lot better but not completely gone. I got to see the little nugget for the first time this…
Super Bowl Food and Hot Feta Artichoke Dip
Ok I will admit it, I get more excited about food than football. There, I said it. I honestly was just reminded that the Super Bowl was coming up from one of my friend’s blogs. I just don’t get into pro football, but don’t hate me. I am still here to bring you some yummy…
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus & Meal Planning
I have mentioned before that I love serving vegetables for appetizers. They fill you up on less calories plus it’s just nice to get extra veggies into the meal. These are a little more sinful than regular roasted veggies because of the addition of the salty crispy prosciutto. They’ve got the red and green going…
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?…
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…
3 Minute Hot Beans & Cheese
My penny-pinching meal plan worked out well last week. I stayed within my budget and did not make any random trips to the grocery store. Yay me! I found that beans were the main staple of our diet this past week. This is what we ate several times this past week (between lunches and dinner)-…
Baked Southwestern Egg Rolls
Here is a recap on what you’ve missed on Nutritious Eats: I am doing a September Health Challenge (feel free to start it whenever you can- it lasts for 30 days). I will be posting the daily challenge to my facebook page, twitter and instagram so make sure to follow along. Need some healthy kid…
