There’s something about this time a year that gives me some warm soupy cravings. And this spicy red lentil soup hits the spot. The leaves are changing colors and lots of ’em remind me of the golden-red goodness in this super-easy-to-make recipe. It’s like, yummy, creamy love in a bowl and super duper with and […]
Apple Cider Vinaigrette + An Awesome Salad
I am in love with this apple cider vinaigrette dressing. You might even say…following the theme of the week, that I am addicted to it. Salads might be hard to swallow right now if you live in MN and the abnormally cold weather has you grumbling about the late arrival of spring. I say, screw […]
PYL: The Best Guacamole Ever. Why I Love Easter. And A Disclaimer.
[one_fourth_last]Guacamole is one of my favorite foods of all time. My homemade guacamole has received many accolades via friends, party-goers, and family. “This is the best I’ve ever tasted”. “No way, what do you put in this stuff it rocks!” “Will you bring your guac to my party?” Disclaimer. There are two women in my […]
A Yummy Protein Filled Breakfast
This recipe is delish and while it might not be “oatmeal” it tastes a lot like it. Plus it offers you way more protein benefits in the morning which will keep your energy sustained and pumping through until lunch time. Quinoa is an excellent source of protein. Also it is actually a “seed” which falls […]
Make The Most Of It. And Supper In A Pinch.
How often do you look in your fridge/life/work/relationships and think…”I got nothing”? I challenge you to get creative. When you really look there is something there. You might have to piece it together. You might have to make something out of what seems like nothing. You might have to get grateful for what IS available to you. […]

I know, I know…chocolate chip cookies aren’t healthy. But this recipe is the healthiest I’ve seen yet. Mary Faye (my homeopathist) gives us the lowdown on how to make delicious cookies that still have nutritional value. Seriously. If you are going to go the sugar route then it is a good idea to at least […]

This zucchini bake is delicious, healthy, and comes together quickly. It is simple and yet elegant, you could easily […]
Superb & Simple Chicken Marinade
I was perusing the grocery store this week….yes I do “window shop” my local Lunds. I love walking around picking up veggies and fruits to test for firmness + just smell them (I am that weird girl), doing a nice slow “sunday drive” by the meat section, walking through the packaged food isles to turn over […]
Fresh And Fast Tuscan Chicken Salad
Chicken salad is one of my favorite things but the standard recipe isn’t the healthiest or most nutritional choice. I really enjoy coming up with new and different chick salad combos and this recent one is one of my new favorites. I am going food blogger style on this with pics and everything. I thought it […]
PYL: Curry Beans Recipe Fun
I LOVE this recipe. If you enjoy it, share it too! One of my fav things to do is mess around in the kitchen. I especially like experimenting with ingredients to see if I can create something spectacular and healthy with only a few items. Occasionally I make things that come out horribly, other times […]
