Simply Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Posted in: Appetizer ideas, Food Photos, Salad Ideas, Snack Ideas | 11 Comments
I was making the toddler’s lunch when I realized I had a pint of cherry tomatoes that were getting a bit overripe. I don’t know about you, but I can’t eat cherry tomatoes once they get all "wrinkly". For some reason, they gross me out! So I decided to make a little evening snack.

Oat and Flax Crusted Tilapia
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Toddler Approved | 10 Comments
As I said in my original "crusted" tilapia idea, I’m fascinated with breading things in anything other then traditional breadcrumbs. I just think it’s fun to come up with new ideas for "bread-ings".

I was on a mission to use the leftover turkey in some ingenious ways this year. Something fun and different but light, especially after the amount of calories I’ve consumed over the last 2 days! Yikes!
So this morning I whipped this up and oh… my… word… SO GOOD! Click here to continue reading Curried Turkey Salad with Apple and Pear >>>

Red Rice with Beans and Sausage
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Soup/Stew Ideas, Toddler Approved | 22 Comments
I made this dish for a friend. That’s right, I have sought out others to cook for since the husband is overall… BORING! I kid, but you know what I mean. I know his likes, and dislikes and it’s fun considering someone else’s. I guess you can say I’m food cheating. That’s right I admit it, I food cheat on my husband. At least he knows and we have an open dinner relationship. LOL :~P

Continuing with my thanksgiving prep I present a completely new idea. Well…. at least I think it’s new. :~)
As you may know this is the first year I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I’m feeling the pressure to make things very traditional but I also want to make them my own (with health and nutrition in mind, of course! ;~P) So instead of the old fashioned candied mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallow on top, I’m going for sweet potatoes in the crockpot.

I couldn’t help myself, I took my hand at another Oatmeal flavor. This time taking the tea idea and going for more flavor!
The toddler and I cleaned our traditional morning Pomegranate (we do it at least once a week) and the idea smacked me in the face! Why not top some berry flavored oatmeal with theses!

AKA Trail Blazin’ Quick Oats! That’s my more creative name for the contest. :~)
This recipe was made exclusively for Quaker. They extended a contest for a few bloggers that were invited to a Quaker weekend in Chicago. I learned so much about oatmeal and nutrition overall. It was SO much fun. I’m planning a whole post about oatmeal soon but first I had to make something up for the contest.
