The title of this blog post is no lie. This soup takes takes less than 10 minutes to put together and it’s really tasty! All it requires is leftover chicken or turkey, broth and frozen vegetables. I decided to make a whole turkey for the two of us last weekend. For one thing, they are on …

Garbanzo Salad
Alright, summer is here. The thermometer has reached 3 digits today! Any and all of my plans to use the oven has gone out the window! It’s time to utilize the barbecue and eat cold salads, sandwiches and fruit smoothies all the time. Here is a recipe for an easy garbanzo bean salad. It’s served cold, it’s great …
Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich
Use avocado instead of mayonaise for a healthier egg salad sandwich! I’m back! I haven’t posted a new recipe on this blog for a while… Work and vacations and other time-consuming projects have been keeping me busy. It’s not that I haven’t been cooking, I’ve just been cooking a lot of my own recipes that …
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 …

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 …
A Well Balanced Dinner
So my boyfriend and I are working on getting buff before the summer comes this year. Now when I say buff, I mean get in shape, loose a few pounds and tone up a bit. We actually made this goal at the beginning of the year, and I admit I have fallen in and out of my …
Fire Roasted Corn
Ever thought of what might happen if you placed your corn cobs right on the coals, rather than the grill? Maybe not, but that thought has crossed my mind, so I decided to try it. And let me tell you- EPIC SUCCESS! The following pictures were taken on my camera phone a couple of weekends …
Irish Soda Bread with Flax
Baking is not one of my specialties, only because you have to be so exact on ingredients. I am more of a “little of this, little of that” kind of cook, so baking doesn’t always work out for me. I adapted this recipe from Dyln’s wonderful blog. I didn’t have all of the ingredients and I …
