Updated March 26, 2019 I have to get my glucose test today. I had a tough time getting all of that nasty orange drink down when I was pregnant with Caleb so I am dreading it. I doubt this time will be any easier. Why can’t someone invent a magic pill to swallow? They would be a millionaire! I don’t think any pregnant woman looks forward to this test. There has to be a better way....

They might sound elaborate and hard to make, but they are super easy and everyone loves them. You can’t really go wrong with chocolate and cream:) I rolled the truffles in toasted coconut, cocoa powder, and chopped up toffee....

We aren’t doing anything big for Thanksgiving since we don’t have family close by, but we are going to celebrate with good food. We are making a small feast to share with friends....

Updated March 05, 2020 Today is the first day of spring and I’ve got major spring fever. Bring on the tulips, chirping birds, green grass, picnics at the park, and sunshine. I am also in the mood for lemon everything! Lemon pancakes, lemon muffins, lemon salads, lemon bars, and lemon cookies. Hellooooo spring! To celebrate the first day of spring, I made Coconut Lemon Macaroon Nests. These little nests are bursting with lemon and scream spring!...

On Saturday, I will spoil Josh with all of his favorite things…donuts, pizza, and chocolate chip cookies. On Sunday, it is my turn! My boys always take good care of me, so I know they will make Mother’s Day special, but this year I am putting in a special request....

There’s something reeeeeeally magical about apps. Especially ones that involve bread and/or potatoey things [and cheese]. I have a special relationship with goat cheese. Creamy and tangy and and glorious UGH I get all shaken up just thinking about its fabulousness. I know it’s a polarizing food right up there with mayonnaise and olives and blue cheese and oysters but in my humble opinion, this here cheese is heaven sent....

I’ve always been a huge fajita gal. My mom made them for dinner all the time! Kinda like my chickpea tacos, shrimp tacos, and pineapple salsa…a true fiesta! I have vivid memories from growing up of going to the local Mexican restaurant with the fam and ordering those skillet fajitas that come out all sizzling and magical. And then if you were lucky enough to be there on your birthday like I was, the team members would serenade you in their sweet sombreros whilst shaking maracas in your face and serving flan....

Ingredients needed Seafood: I used shrimp/prawns, calamari, squid heads and mussels. Scallops and clams are also good additions. I wouldn’t necessarily add fish as it can break up too much during tossing but you could always had seared chunks of fish right before serving. Frozen seafood is perfect suitable, just thaw completely and pat dry with paper towels before cooking. Butter. Fresh garlic. Lemon juice. White wine. Cream. Parsley. Salt and pepper....

Updated August 13, 2019 I kind of over indulged when we went to Disneyland. That tends to happen when we travel. I try to eat healthy when I can, but I also like to try new foods and splurge a little. Vacation isn’t vacation without a few treats here and there. Last week it was back to reality…laundry, dishes, and my normal healthy eating and exercise plan. I may have snuck in a cookie or two, but it is all about balance:) I did create a killer healthy recipe for lunch one day, Cucumber Noodles with Peanut Sauce....

Ding Ding Chao Mian (丁丁炒面) is a signature dish from Xinjiang. The region is located in the far west of China, adjacent to Kazakhstan and Mongolia. The majority of the population is Uyghur (a Turkic ethnic group), and their food is highly influenced by central Asian cuisine, as well as traditional Chinese cuisine. Xinjiang food is wildly popular in Beijing and we’ve been eating it we were growing up. Some of our favorite dishes are roast lamb skewers (Chinese kebabs), Baked samosa (A bread with savory filling), and Ding Ding Chao Mian....

I’m in a relationship with this dip. First it was my Fluffy Vegan Pumpkin Muffins with Healthy Cream Cheese Frosting, now this. IT’S SO FLUFFYYYYYY. I mean, it’s major. And it takes like thirteen seconds to whip up!! It was love at first sight and even deeper love at first spoon. Imagine having the most luscious, fluffy, perfectly spiced pumpkin pie filling RIGHT at your fingertips! Can you even?

Weeknight dinners need to tick a few boxes. Tasty? Of course. Quick and easy? I mean, duh! Healthy-ish? Preferred. This here baked lemon chicken ticks all of those boxes and then some. The chicken only takes 5 minutes to prep before it goes into a hot oven to bake until golden brown and juicy. The wine/stock, lemon, garlic and herbs make a delicious sauce, perfect served with mashed potatoes or rice....

Ingredients and Substitutions Salmon. I used a whole side of salmon but this recipe can be made with salmon fillets too. Use any type of salmon that is seasonally available to you. Atlantic salmon, Coho salmon, King salmon, Norwegian salmon, etc. are all delicious. This recipe can be made with any fish of your choice like cod and halibut. Butter. I used salted butter but unsalted butter will work too. Olive oil can be used as a dairy-free alternative....
