A Green Julius (AKA Orange Vanilla Smoothe)

The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are?

Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was older enough to be dropped off at the mall alone (ahhh HIgh School memories,) it was always one of my first stops.

If you’ve never had one they are smoothie-like but not near as thick. Click here to continue reading A Green Julius (AKA Orange Vanilla Smoothie) >>>

Super Light Western Egg White Sandwich with a side of Green Peppers

So I’m a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more.

This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories!

Raw Kale Salad with Feta and Dried Cranberries

A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil.

I was immediately intrigued.

Creamy Chicken and Mushrooms with Peas

Creamy Chicken and Mushrooms with Peas

I’ve had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot.

The whole family LOVED it. I’m not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine by me, I still got chicken, peas, and whole wheat noodles in the boy without argument. Score 1 for mommy!

Spaghetti Squash and Avocado Burrito

Spaghetti Squash and Avocado Burrito

I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING!

Anyway, I’m getting sidetracked. So I’m sitting there staring at the avocado and the squash and this idea pops into my head. Why not use the spaghetti squash like rice in a burrito? It’s a great bulk-er and would really fill a wrap nicely. Click here to continue reading Spaghetti Squash and Avocado Burrito >>>

Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll Ups

It’s post holiday season. You know what that means?

Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with!

Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It’s the only time I do as I can’t be trusted around them. Let’s just say I’d beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave it at that.

Simply Roasted Parsnips with Carrots

Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I’ve made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that’s it, the best way to roast them. You’ll buy that right? Right?

The truth is, I’m obsessed. I found myself roasting a batch, this batch… Click here to continue reading Simply Roasted Parsnips with Carrots >>>

Chicken and Vegetable Stuffed Acorn Squash

Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don’t like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS!

Here’s what I did…

Fennel and Apple Salad

Fennel and Apple Salad

I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast.

I pulled it out and stared at it for about an hour, brainstorming with myself on how I can eat it besides just straight up.

Produce Pick: Parsnip [video]

Posted in: Produce Picks, Video Posts | 13 Comments

We pulled out the camera for a good old fashioned produce pick video. Up this week: Parsnips!

This is another one of those vegetables that are just not on my radar for some reason. I never remember having them growing up, and honestly I don’t think I ever tried one. I didn’t know what I was missing! Click here to continue reading Produce Pick: Parsnip [video] >>>

Sprinkled VitaBrownie Donuts

I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I’ve been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;)

So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to share a fun new family holiday tradition where I take my favorite brownie mix and turn it into fun festive donuts! Click here to continue reading Sprinkled VitaBrownie Donuts >>>
