As an Italian, and a fan of delicious dishes in general, I love pasta! This one in particular was so simple to make and actually surpassed my expectations on taste! It’s creamy texture and fresh ingredients make it a scrumptious meal! My husband even commented on how good it was without me having to ask…yep, added to dinner menu! Continue reading
As a follow up to my Cranberry Breakfast muffins, I made chili for the first time this afternoon! I stumbled upon a white bean chicken chili recipe a few weeks ago that sounded wonderful and finally got around to cooking it today. Who knew making a tasty and healthy chili was so easy! I think it will make a perfect meal for my husband once he gets home from hunting today even though we’re having a rare and warmer day for mid January – 40’s! This is truly like a Continue reading
I’ve had most of the day to myself (well, and with the kitties), because my husband is out hunting with the goal of getting a deer! I never tried deer meat until I started dating him and had no interest in trying it either, but I must be honest and tell you it is actually Continue reading
I’m always looking for new healthy recipes and came across this one recently on Pinterest. I’ve never tried eating or cooking with chia seeds and didn’t realize just how much nutrition they pack! Do you have any idea how healthy these little seeds are for you? It’s worth a Google search to read the details on the antioxidants, fiber, protein and omega 3 fatty acids they contain and how they promote good health. This pudding recipe was Continue reading
I love making soups during these cold Winter months so that’s exactly what I did this Sunday afternoon! I also love veggies and this soup is packed with them! One thing I really like about the recipe is how versatile it can be; you could swap out many vegetables for others or add different types of beans and potatoes. It’s all about preference and what you and your family like! This soup was surprisingly Continue reading
Some days, I like ‘simple’ for dinner…really simple. That doesn’t mean you have to resort to canned and/or boxed foods that are just no good for you. This sloppy joe recipe is so easy and still meets my standards for a decent meal to feed my family, especially with some healthy sides to complete the dinner. We don’t eat red meat often so this isn’t on the rotation a lot, but everyone always enjoys it and I always buy Continue reading
This apple peanut butter snack is incredibly easy to put together and tastes great! It would be perfect for breakfast in the morning or a snack later in the day! My step daughter is always pleased to see this on her plate when she asks for a snack and it’s something I’m happy to make for her because I know she’s getting some good nutrition from it! Continue reading
I was a bit last minute planning New Years Eve for our family this year; the previous year with the balloons was really fun and I was trying and trying to find another idea I liked as much! After searching for a little while, I decided to ask Hailey what she wanted to do for New Years and I couldn’t help but smile when Continue reading
This sun dried tomato and mushroom pasta is another wonderfully simple dish that was immediately added to our dinner menu after cooking it the first time! I have a big love for mushrooms and pasta so putting those two together is winning for me. The combination of flavors is really great and the effort needed for this recipe makes it an acceptable weeknight dinner! Continue reading
I’m not a big breakfast person in general and people tend to think I’m crazy for not being a fan of pancakes, waffles and donuts! (I know, you probably agree with them :)) However, I do try to eat breakfast each day and I’m always interested when I come across a new idea that would work well to Continue reading
