The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...]

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! The trick to making [...]

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 [...]

I've been wanting to post this idea for 3 days now! Aomething always seemed to get in my way. So sorry for the delay. Anyway.... I LOVE when people send me recipes! This one came direct from Cindy who shares my Laughing Cow Cheese obsession. It's so simple, so tasty and So FUN! Surprisingly BOTH the husband [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Sometimes I use the color of food to inspire me. There's something about putting together certain colors that just seems completely satisfying in both the taste and sight departments. Today I was driven by the classic Christmas colors of Red and Green. I picked up a couple of avocados during my last grocery store trip [...]

First I made Mini Egg Muffins. Then Mini Spinach Egg Muffins. Now I present Mini Western Omelet Muffins! :) Western omelets have always been my favorite. The combination of onion, peppers and ham with egg dipped in ketchup is a little taste of breakfast heaven for this breakfast lover. The little guy had NO interest [...]

I did it! I cooked dinner! I can't believe it! :) It's been forever and I'm happy to report my return to the kitchen was (sort of) welcomed by both the husband and the child. Actually the child DEVOURED his plate. The husband, picked, ate a bit, said it was "good". Then I told him [...]

This idea was in direct response to the toddler saying he “did not like sandwiches” in his lunch anymore. Who can blame him? Five days of a ham and cheese on whole wheat can get old. *sigh* What's a mom to do? Never did I think I'd have a hard time coming up with ideas [...]

A few days ago I posted about Lavash Bread on my weight loss blog. When I read the comments I laughed out loud as people suggested I use it to make pizza and said “I know you will love it.” First of all my, readers REALLY know me and second, it was the first [...]

Five months ago I made Baked Ham with Sweet Potatoes and Carrots. Why is that important, you ask? Well, I ate the other half of that 3 pound ham tonight. Using the same seasoning as the baked dish, I cut the Ham into 3 oz “steaks” marinated and grilled them on the BBQ. It was [...]

To help get back on track after a weekend of too much candy I decided to experiment with a big salad for lunch. I love me a big salad, especially one I whip up with what I have on hand. This one came out exceptionally good, with a nice tangy bite from [...]

Boneless cured ham is something I tend to overlook. It never really occurred to me that it could be an easy light dish until I picked one up this weekend and noticed it was only 90 calories for 3oz. The problem is they are normally too large to deal with but I [...]

This one is for all the mommies with toddlers. I wanted something light for lunch and the toddler was hungry after a long morning running errands. You can really use any cracker toppings you like. I just happen to be partial to turkey pepperoni, ham and cheese. This would [...]
