Somehow my very busy sisters, mom and I had a free morning to get our families together for brunch today. It was a last minute decision (with about an hour’s notice) and I needed to make something quickly. I googled breakfast casseroles and found this Baked Oatmeal Casserole recipe – perfect.     I had to […]

A little goes a long way with granola – it can be high in calories but it is packed with healthy fats and fiber-filled carbs. Ideally I will eat no more than 2 spoonfuls per day to give me my daily fiber, nuts and seeds. When I started with 21 Day Fix and I decided […]

I made this recipe for the first time in years!! Keep in mind that I use this recipe as a guideline. Since the two heads of cabbage I purchased for this yields far more than 5 cups, I just include all of the cabbage and double the quantities used for the dressing. When I made this […]

This is the first flourless cookie I ever made. I LOVED it. The first time I made it, we kept the uncooked balls in the fridge and popped it in the toaster oven to cook when hungry. The next time we baked the cookies and kept them in an air tight container. It tasted great […]

I have been stalking a few paleo account on Instagram to find some new recipes to try. I came across this one by Paleo Leap this past week and could not wait to try it. I loved the tart from the apple, sour cranberry, sweet oranges, acidity of the dressing combined with all of the […]

  This snack has a wonderful combination of sweet and savory in a healthy chip! It is easy to make but make sure you set aside about 2 hours for cooking. It needs to be baked on a low temperature in order to cook evenly. It’s worth it though! It’s based on a recipe I […]

I was listening to the Another Mother Runner podcast last year and learned of a yummy pre-workout snack that the Wasserman twins make.  Their snack includes nut butter, dried cranberries, coconut oil , chocolate chips and honey/maple syrup.  Inspired by this, I adapted this to use things that I am more likely to have in […]

I enjoy banana shakeology with either vanilla and chocolate on most days but I will change it up sometimes and have greenberry instead. Contrary to what you would expect from a “green” shake, greenberry tastes very fruity. Adding pineapple is a nice bonus. Ingredients 1/2 can of Pineapple (with liquid) 1/2 large browned banana (fresh […]

I love this simple recipe. It is easy to make and I usually have the ingredients on hand when I need a “clean” dressing. Ingredients 1 cup balsamic vinegar 1 cup olive oil 1/2 cup lemon 4 tsp dijon mustard 3 Tbsp honey or maple syrup Directions Put all of them in a glass jar, tighten the lid and […]

Hummus is so easy to make it’s hard not to justify having homemade. I like to keep tahini and canned chick peas on hand so I can whip this up anytime. When I have time to plan I prefer to cook my chick peas. Fresh hummus lasts in the refrigerator for just a few days. I usually make […]
