Pumpkin Cornbread
When it comes to cooking, there is never a lazier time for me than the days following Thanksgiving. After spending so much time making food and then eating so much of it, I am just over it! Good thing there are leftovers… Alas, I do get tired of eating leftover turkey and potatoes for breakfast, …
Healthy Oatmeal Muffins
I don’t particularly like calling these “muffins…” When I think of the word “muffin” I think “sweet-unhealthy-cake-disguised-as-breakfast” which this recipe is not. These oatmeal muffins are pretty much just your morning oatmeal- in a different form! If you prefer the super sweet, double chocolate chip, 500 calorie muffins, look somewhere else because these muffins are super healthy, moist, …
Quick Sauted Spinach
Spinach is so good as a salad and we try to eat it as much as we can. I decided to switch it up a little last weekend and saute the spinach with other delicious veggies. Easy, quick, and healthy. A side dish success! Spinach is a real super food! It’s filled with so many …
Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Scones
Drool… These scones are SO good. I’ve had this recipe on my mind for a while now and I was dying to make it. It was just too hot to use the oven all summer. The moment the outside temperature dropped by just a slight bit, I instantly turned on the oven to make these …
Homemade Wheat Tortillas
I remember growing up living next door to my best friend whos mom would cook a huge batch of tortillas once a year. They were seriously the best things in the entire world. I would scarf them down with out a care if I was being a pig or eating all of my friends food- …
Sun Dried Tomato Pasta Salad
Is it just me or does the heat make you laaaazzyyy? We are trying to save on the electric bill so we don’t use the AC in our apartment that often. What ends up happening is we just lay around all day because it’s too hot to do anything at all! What a waste of …
Yellow Squash Fritatta With Fresh Peas
I told you it was squashy recipe week! I’ve still got a few summer squashes left in my fridge so I have to think of creative ways to use them. (My mom has a garden full of these so I got to take a bunch home!) I can’t wait to have a garden of my …
Caprese Appetizers
So here’s an idea for a “fancy” appetizer thats really easy to make and it’s soooo good! I saw this exact recipe on a blog a little while back and I can’t seem to re-locate it. So thank you- who ever you are- for posting this great idea! I give you full credit! It’s made from only …
Orange Chicken From Scratch
Whoa! Have you ever had homemade Orange Chicken? You’ve GOT to try this recipe, it’s a flavor EXPLOSION!! The sauce is made from fresh ingredients like orange, lemon and ginger. I liked it so much, I even used some of the leftover sauce I had and put it on some rice and tofu the next day. Yum! …
Stuffed Peppers
Mushrooms, garlic, onions, cheese – oh my! These stuffed peppers are sure tasty! I made these babies the other night and invited some friends over for dinner to help me eat them. It was a glorious night of stuffed peppers, wine, and Hot-Tub Time Machine (which was a very ridiculous, yet entertaining movie). This recipe takes a little more time than …
