Milled Oat Sweet Potato Waffles – Gluten Free

Have a serious sweet tooth this morning. Nothing sounds better than a hot stack of waffles and a cup of coffee. There are mornings when I don’t have the time to prepare a meal. Grab and go shakes or overnight oats seem like the only option. We don’t do fast food at my house, so…

Sweet Potato Toast

This morning was a busy one, despite neither of my children having school. After going to the gym I spent my morning running around town grocery shopping. Picking up last minute deals. $1.69 a pound for chicken breasts or thighs?!? How could I pass that up? Have you ever tried being a chef, photographer and mom…

Pineapple-Mango salsa

I have a hard time convincing my husband that this salsa is not a fruit salad. He will honestly eat it strait from the bowl and if I don’t take it away from him, he will eat the whole thing before we even have a chance to put it on top of anything we eat….

Chicken and Dumplings

Who doesn’t like chicken noodle soup!?!? Well, since I am on a soup kick, why not continue? This is my version of chicken and dumplings. When I was little we would roll out the dough and cut each noodle by hand. Such great memories and such a great soup. I have made a few tweaks…

Coconut Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Creamy and delicious squash soup! The curry adds a much needed kick. This recipe can also be made with rosemary and heavy cream instead of curry and coconut milk, but I choose to go with the skinny version. Both taste delicious, so I will let you decide. I have also used Rosemary essential oils to…

CUNCH…Salmon Tacos!

I do have a place in my stomach for fish tacos, but the right kind! I think about food all the time, not just what I want to eat, but how I would prepare it. I am not sure how you think about food or go about eating, but as I am eating something, I…

Ceviche, jalapeño salsa and spiralized cucumber Noodles!?! This dish screams summer and is a great way to use up the abundance of tomatoes and cucumbers from your garden! I have cucumbers coming out of my ears. Who knew so many cucumbers could come from one seed!?! As you can tell, I am new to this…

Turkey Potstickers

Save yourself some time and pick up potsticker wrappers. They cost about $3 for 50 or more. A pound of turkey will cost around $5-6 and a head of cabbage around $1. That rounds the cost of this recipe to around $10 max. The potstickers can be pre-made and in mass quantities and frozen to…

Pork Roast in a Dairy Free White Wine Sauce

A Pork roast with a creamy, dairy free, white wine sauce. This post is a little late, as I am running behind in life. I spoiled my husband on Father’s Day with this recipe. I gave him a taste as he sat in his chair upstairs, unaware of what I was doing in the kitchen….

Thai Green Curry

I love green curry! It has literally taken me years to perfect this recipe. I joke, but every time I make this recipe it some how gets better and better everytime. I don’t know if it is my taste buds changing, or if I am actually improving the recipe through experience, but you can try…

Salad Kabobs

Almond Crusted Chicken breast

I am always looking for a good/healthier substitute to my favorite foods. Ones that are good enough I can convince my family to eat them in lieu of their not so healthy favorites. The almond coating adds a crunch to the outside of the chicken without using bread crumbs. So, if you are trying to…

Scotch Eggs

How did I not know about Scotch eggs? This recipe seems like something I should have grown up with. An egg wraped in a meatball? Why not? Life this week has been a little crazy around my house and seems to be getting more crazy. The days are full with work and kids, gym workouts,…
