Spinach Ham Omelet Roll-Up Video
Posted in: 5 WWP, 5 WWPP, Breakfast Ideas, Video Posts | 11 Comments
I really wanted to get one last video in before the Little Bean arrives. This one is pretty long and you don’t have the 5 year old to entertain you. I cook from start to end with no editing and basically blab with you. I’m hoping to up my production value post baby, getting a second camera and better audio but it’s too much to tackle at the moment.

One Pot Chicken and Rice with Pearl Onions and Vegetables
Posted in: 7 WWP, 9 WWPP, Dinner Ideas, Toddler Approved | 5 Comments
As I said in my pregnancy update, yesterday I was in a complete brain cloud. My day was spent reacting to all the responsibilities I forgot about. An assignment here. A phone call there. All of sudden I found myself at dinner time with nothing defrosted and barely a desire to cook. But my desire to eat out after this weekend was even less, so I rummaged through the freezer to see what I could find. I haven’t gone grocery shopping making supplies low. Real low. I don’t even have any fresh onion or garlic in the house! Click here to continue reading One Pot Chicken and Rice with Pearl Onions and Vegetables >>>

The "All-I-Have-Is-This" Grilled Wrap
Posted in: 6 WWP, 7 WWPP, Dinner Ideas, Lunch Ideas, Sandwich Ideas, The Laughing Cow Ideas | 16 Comments
This post isn’t as much a recipe as an idea. Actually I consider all my "recipes" just ideas. I rarely make the same thing twice and if I do it’s never the same exact way becuase I’m a reactor. No, I’m not going to explode at at moment, although I do feel like I am going to pop any day now–holy crap I’m 9 months pregnant!!
Sorry, pregnancy brain distraction.

Simple Green Cupcakes – A St. Patrick’s Day Surprise!
Posted in: 3 WWP, 4 WWPP, Dessert Ideas, Muffins Ideas, Party Ideas, Toddler Approved, Vegetarian Ideas | 45 Comments
I’m not claiming this idea to be "healthy" so please, all crazy health nuts need not comment. The idea here is to have a little fun with the kids, celebrate a holiday by making something green (without taking all day or making a huge mess), and possibly adding a few extra vitamins into the mix, literally.
I love using a boxed cake mix in a pinch especially around the holidays. They make it easy to bake quick desserts where you can easily shave down the fat and calories without anyone noticing. Click here to continue reading Simple Green Cupcakes – A St. Patrick’s Day Surprise! >>>

The You-Don’t-Need-to-go-out-for-a-Great-Salad Salad
Posted in: 1 WWP, 1 WWPP, Dinner Ideas, Lunch Ideas, Salad Ideas, Vegetarian Ideas | 13 Comments
The husband and I had a date night on Saturday. We decided to squish a few in now while we have the chance. With this baby coming in the next few weeks, there’s no way we’re getting out for a few months at least! We’ll have 2 kids, 1 of them an infant and no family that lives within 3 hours, we’ll be lucky to find a moment to talk let alone enjoy dinner and a movie. Which is exactly what we decided to do this weekend.

Silky Single-Serve Nacho Cheese
Posted in: 3 WWP, 3 WWPP, Appetizer ideas, Party Ideas, Snack Ideas, The Laughing Cow Ideas | 50 Comments
Confession time.
When I was a kid I LOVED Easy Cheese. That cheese "stuff" found in a can that you can squirt in fun patterns onto crackers. You know…. this stuff.
And yes… I have squirted it directly in my mouth on more than one occasion. Come on. Fess up. YOU have too! ;)

Not Your Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
Posted in: 3 WWP, 4 WWPP, Cookie Ideas, Dessert Ideas, Snack Ideas, Toddler Approved, Vegetarian Ideas | 47 Comments
Ohh but they are tasty! And you’ll never guess what’s in them. Or better yet, what’s NOT in them. :)
I love the challenge of making baked goods out of "healthy" things. My intention isn’t to necessarily duplicate traditional baked goods but to make tasty treats that are yummy and add SOME nutritional value to our diets.

Breakfast Quinoa with Citrus and Kiwi
Posted in: 5 WWP, 7 WWPP, 9 WWPP, Breakfast Ideas, Lunch Ideas, Salad Ideas, Vegetarian Ideas | 7 Comments
Joe left a comment on my recent Single Serve Steal Cut Oats Topped with Blueberries post about using quinoa for breakfast and I haven’t been able to get the thought out of my head ever since. A couple of years ago I made Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Quinoa but haven’t dabbled with the idea in awhile. It was about time.

Single Serve Steel Cut Oats Topped with Blueberries
Posted in: 3 WWP, 5 WWPP, Breakfast Ideas, Food Photos, Vegetarian Ideas | 22 Comments
I’ve been on quite a journey with oatmeal. Five years ago I never touched the stuff. Ever. It just wasn’t on my radar. I don’t remember eating it much as a kid. It surly wasn’t something I made in college and you guys know who I’m married to, right? I don’t think the husband has ever had a bowl. At least not since I’ve known him.
Yet somehow I became a person who just whips up a bowl of Steel Cut Oats in the middle of the week. Click here to continue reading Single Serve Steel Cut Oats Topped with Blueberries >>>

I don’t know WHAT came over me tonight. I just wanted something different and apparently, I’m a little obsessed with ‘S’s. ;~P
This morning I pulled out some tilapia fillets to make Crispy Baked Parmesan Crusted Tilapia. Along side, I was planning to make Sweet Potato Fries but by the time I got home from work, I just wasn’t in the mood. Click here to continue reading Simple Savory Stuffed Sweet Potatoes >>>
