I’ve had a serious hankering for good wholesome foods. Foods that really fill you up and make you feel like you could take on the world. Okay, maybe not the world those never ending days where you need all the energy you can get. I’ve had this quinoa sitting in my pantry for a while [...]

Cinco de Mayo Recipes 2013
On Sunday is Cinco de Mayo. Any holiday that celebrates with yummy Mexican food is a favorite in my book. I will be celebrating with guacamole, margaritas and lots of chips and salsa. Below are a few of my very favorite Mexican recipes that would be the perfect addition to any Cinco de Mayo [...]
No-Fail Pizza Crust
Happy Monday! Did you all have a great weekend? Ours was spent with freinds, family and some good pizza! Pizza is a favorite in our home, like most. It’s something Ava and I have always made together and enjoyed. We have a place in town that is our absolute favorite. Some nights though we just [...]
Loaded Potato Soup
I love chilly, damp spring evenings. It’s one last excuse to make a big pot of soup before the hot summer days set in. This loaded potato soup is one of the best soups I’ve had in a long time. It was creamy and so full of flavor. Just what I have been craving lately. [...]
Spicy Almond Crusted Chicken Tender Salad
Have you tried Blue Diamonds bold almonds yet? They are so spicy and addictive. I can’t stop eating them. One day last week all I could think about at work was the can of Habanero almonds in my cupboard at home. As soon as I arrived home that evening, I grabbed a handful and realized [...]
Classic Chicken Pot Pie
This chicken pot pie recipe is seriously one of my favorites. Sadly, in my house it is always a Sunday dinner. The process can be a bit time consuming. Not hard, just multiple steps. I love the combination of the flakey, buttery pie crust and creamy filling. It’s just so cozy and perfect for serving [...]

Chicken, broccoli and rice bake
I seriously have a thing for chicken and rice casseroles. I’m not sure why. It’s kind of weird. Most women say I have a thing for shoes, hand bags, tall, dark and handsome men. Yeah, I go around saying I have a thing for chicken and rice casseroles. My family is so proud. But seriously, [...]
Vegetarian Tortilla Soup
We got a whopping 18 inches of snow yesterday. It was not my most favorite day. Until a little seven-year-old snow angel insisted on us going out and playing in it. I must say snow diving is an pretty good mood booster. There is nothing I love more than a big pot of soup on [...]
Skinny Creamy Shrimp Pasta
My family and I love shrimp pasta dishes. The problem is most of these recipes call for heavy creams and rich cheeses. I love this recipe because it is light and flavorful. You get the creamy feel without all the unwanted calories and fats. This skinny creamy shrimp pasta was perfect on a chilly winter [...]
