Ever hear the philosophy that your “normal” diet is what’s served to you by your parents? Well, my parents never served brussel sprouts. Never. So I hadn’t had them until just over a year ago when friends ordered them while we were out for dinner. Oh my, were they amazing! They are now one of … Continue reading
Once again, Clean Eating magazine provides a winning recipe with this Chicken with Blue Cheese Sauce. Honestly, I could drink the sauce. I roasted some artichokes for the side dish and it was a delicious dinner! Ingredients 4 artichokes 2 lemons, halved 4 garlic cloves 4 tsp olive oil Olive oil spray 1 lb chicken … Continue reading
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my husband’s favorite. I wanted to make them for a special treat for the family, but knew that my old recipe would need some cleaning up. These cookies still have a fair amount of sugar, but they’re fine for one of our rare treats. These cookies are best baked only … Continue reading
My mom’s co-worker shared this recipe and it is beyond simple to make. I thought this side dish was delicious; the squash is very mild and you mostly taste the garlic and butter. Um, yum! It takes about 1 hr and 15 minutes from start to finish and that includes 1 hour baking time. Start … Continue reading
Remember the apple chip recipe I got from my daughter’s school? Well, they also sent home a recipe which they called CauliMash. I made it tonight and told my kids they’re mashed potatoes. We served it up with my husband’s turkey burgers and fruit (some had raspberries, some had oranges); dinner took less than 30 … Continue reading
I saw this Chicken and Cauliflower “Fried Rice” recipe on Deliciously Organic awhile back. I want to share it with you (with a few different proportions) because it was pretty tasty, the kids liked it, and it’s a great high-protein, low-fat meal. I will warn you, it makes a large dish so plan on using … Continue reading
My husband asked me if I wanted to go get pizza for dinner tonight? I totally wanted to; it has been a long day, I’m tired, I need to go grocery shopping (there’s not a fresh veggie or fruit to be found in the house), there’s tons to do tonight, and I have to get … Continue reading
This was the appetizer I was going to make for our Christmas Eve gathering but the whole time factor eliminated it as a possibility. Good thing because that’s how I found Mini Fruit Kabobs with balsamic vinegar reduction as an alternative! I’ve been anxious to make these Southwestern Potato Skins ever since I saw the recipe … Continue reading
If you told me I could never eat mashed potatoes again, I’d be OK with that. Actually, that’s a lie. I loved mashed potatoes. Having said that, these mock garlic mashed potatoes made with cauliflower are a pretty great substitution. If you want to fool your kids into eating cauliflower – try these! My cousin … Continue reading
My brother, age 32, is a pretty picky eater. He even had a rule for eating food called the Chunky Chewy Smooth Rule. A food could not have more than one of these characteristics if it was going to enter his mouth. Thank goodness he met his wife who broke him of this silly rule. … Continue reading
