Mexican Veggie Impasta Bake

If there’s one food I could eat pretty much every day, it’s Mexican. I just love it! Tim didn’t much care for it when we first started dating, but he’s seen the light since he’s been with me. 😉 I first got the idea for this casserole from a Hungry Girl recipe. It seemed pretty […]

Superfood Casserole

Superfood casserole might seem like an oxymoron to you. When you think of casseroles, you probably don’t think of superfoods, and vice versa. Well, let me just tell you how this recipe came about and then maybe it’ll make more sense. As you may know, we have a one-year old son, Wes (14 months, to be exact). He […]

Tuscan Chickpea Soup with Swiss Chard

I know it’s spring, but it’s not too hot for one more soup recipe! This was a really simple soup to make, and very delicious! Even my 1 year old loved it! It is full of veggies, has a lot of protein from the chickpeas, and has tons of flavor. I will be adding this to […]

Farro is new on the scene in my life.  I’d heard about it for a while, but I never got around to trying it until I found a package of prepared farro at the local Tar-zhay store.

I love avocados and I love hummus, so when I came across a pin on Pinterest for Avocado Hummus, I was excited! (Food nerd alert: Yes, I get excited about recipes I see online.  And the other day, I found myself in the grocery store exclaiming aloud, “Finally!  Tomato paste in a tube!” So yeah, […]

Easy Roasted Beet and Sweet Potato Hash

My love for beets is only recently discovered.  There are a lot of foods that I never knew I liked until I was a grown adult in my mid-twenties.  Beets are one of those foods that I had previously turned my nose up to, oblivious to how delicious they really are.  I guess had really […]

Roasted Butternut Squash Carrot Soup

What can I say about butternut squash?  It’s delicious, good for you, inexpensive, and incredibly difficult to cut.  I did not discover how much I liked butternut squash until about 4 or 5 years ago. I had no idea what I was missing!  Now, every fall I look forward to loading up on them at […]

My New Favorite Pancake Recipe

Let me tell you about my new favorite pancake recipe.  They’re so flavorful and fluffy, plus there’s all kinds of good stuff in them – whole wheat flour, oats, flax seeds.  There’s no oil, white flour, or sugar.   Compared to plain white pancakes, these are faintly nutty, slightly sweet, slightly salty, and have just the […]
