So JenniferE and I were just chatting and I happened to mention that I had cherries and almonds on my mind for some strange reason. I was going to throw some together in a smoothie with some banana and whatever else I could find in the kitchen and just see what I could come up…[Continue Reading...]
It’s a good thing I remembered to put some oats in the fridge last night because I woke up actually craving oatmeal. That’s right…me, of all people, craving oatmeal?! I really couldn’t believe it, but I think it may be because I’m doing P90X and my body is saying, “I need carbs and I need…[Continue Reading...]
The Four Cheese Baked Penne JenniferE posted on our fan page the other day got me in the mood for some pasta. Every summer my husband, myself and my mother-in-law can our own pasta sauce. We usually get 40 quarts of sauce, so needless to say, we eat a LOT of pasta in our house…[Continue Reading...]
In trying to come up with some food ideas for my kids in order to get them more into actually enjoying eating clean and not just suffering through to please me, I decided to clean up an old recipe I had created for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars. The old recipe called for things like canola…[Continue Reading...]
My oldest daughter loves the refried beans we get at our favorite Mexican restaurant, but she doesn’t get to go there as often as she’d like and so recently she’s been asking for me to somehow get her some refried beans.

I started thinking about them around 6:00 a.m. this morning and I couldn’t wait to have some! Now, since my husband made up a batch of about 100 pancakes a couple weeks ago and froze them, this…[Continue Reading...]
Do your kids like chicken nuggets? Mine sure do! Until now, I’ve had a hard time finding chicken nuggets that pass muster. My kids used to really love the ones from that restaurant that shall not be named because their chicken mcnuggets contain only 50 percent chicken and who knows what else and definitely do…[Continue Reading...]
In trying to move away from wheat and any products containing wheat, I’m always on the lookout for new recipes for baked goods that are also made with real food. Since I’m still transitioning to going wheat-free, I’ll admit I have a hard time finding recipes for breads, cakes or muffins that are both wheat-free…[Continue Reading...]
I know, I know, enough with the smoothies already! This will (hopefully) be the last smoothie recipe for a while. This one was just so delicious that I have to post it and smoothies have been a lifesaver for me as far as breakfast goes. I HAVE to have breakfast and since I can hardly…[Continue Reading...]
