I forget how much I like real food with just a few simple ingredients thrown in to bring out their natural flavor. This dinner is one of the easiest, healthiest, and well-rounded meals I make. The leftovers work well for the next day’s lunch. This meal doesn’t need the bread since you already … Continue reading

BLTs with avocado
When I was younger, I didn’t like BLTs. First of all, what was wrong with me?! Second, if someone had thrown some avocado on there, I would’ve been all over it! BLTs are one of the fastest and simplest meals we make. Once again, a reminder to myself that a healthy filling dinner doesn’t need … Continue reading

Balsamic chicken with pesto gravy and a basic green salad
I’ve been so focused on reading real food and clean eating blogs lately that I’ve neglected the cookbooks I’ve collected over the last few years. I pulled out a Rachael Ray cookbook – Just in time! – and almost put it away because there were no pictures. Seriously, I like to see how my food … Continue reading
Granola cereal
I’ve tried to make granola bars in the past. I had found a recipe with excellent flavor but it was so sticky I had to eat it out of a cup. So, when 100 Days of Real Food recently referenced her 4/4/10 blog post with this granola recipe, I was so excited to make it, I immediately … Continue reading
Stuffed Pork Chops
Mmmm comfort food! This isn’t quick and easy, but it isn’t altogether arduous, either. This is a good way to mix up your usual pork chop dinner. The whole family loved this! Serve along size a salad,steamed veggies, or roasted squash like I did. Ingredients 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops 1/4 cup finely chopped … Continue reading
BBQ Chicken Pita Pizzas
This is one of my go-to quick weeknight dinners. These little pizzas are fun for kids to assemble and pack a ton of flavor and nutrients. Ingredients Whole wheat pitas or sandwich thins split into two halves BBQ sauce (I use full circle organic brand and add some honey) 1lb cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast, … Continue reading
Blueberry Spelt Muffins
My 4 year old asked for Blueberry muffins one weekend morning. Luckily I’d just purchased a giant vat of blueberries from Trader Joe’s. I’d been wanting to try baking with spelt flour and finally found it at Cub in the natural foods section. I have to say, I prefer this to regular whole wheat flour. … Continue reading
Taco salad (or nachos if you want your kids to think you’re serving a snack for dinner)
Last Thursday, I had another one of those nights…one where I don’t feel like cooking. What better thing to do than throw together some already prepared ingredients? Thus, I give you what hubby and I called taco salad. When the kids weren’t excited about that…we said, “OK! We’ll have nachos instead!” Little did they know … Continue reading
Curried Chicken with zucchini and cashews
I put dinner on the table and my son said “I don’t like that.” It had smelled so good while it was cooking I was hoping to avoid this conversation. Apparently, that was not to be…. So, my husband and I started with the usual responses like “How do you know if you don’t even … Continue reading
