Nutritious Noms from an Active Mom
The Husband and I have committed to eating out less which is fantastic! However, it also means I haven’t gotten to experience my favorite soup of the season, Panera’s Autumn Squash Soup. So I peeked at the ingredient list online and tried my hand at a home version using what I had in the pantry. The result…
This Peanut Butter Protein Bliss Smoothie contains no actual peanut butter. Odd, I know, but I needed a way to cure my peanut butter cravings in a controlled, less-fat kind of way. Because let’s be honest, I can’t be trusted with a jar of peanut butter. I just can’t. And this week my PB cravings were…
Happy Post-Thanksgiving everyone! This year was initially a little somber for us after finding out my Father-In-Law needed open heart surgery right before Thanksgiving. I’m happy to report the surgery went well and he is headed home from the hospital tomorrow. We are feeling extra special thankful about that! Anyway, Thanksgiving dinner turned out fabulous….
Hey Guys! Sorry for my short hiatus. I’ve been helping my Mom move to the area and this week was our last hurrah. I’m happy to say she and my niece are getting settled in their new condo a mere half mile away. The boys and I couldn’t be any happier. I haven’t lived this…
Peach Chipotle Chili with Black Beans is the easiest, tastiest chili you will ever make. Five ingredients. Five! Three of which may be in your pantry right now. It’s a cold and brutally windy day here in Maryland. When I got home from the gym this morning, I couldn’t get the idea of a warm…
Are dessert omelets a thing? If not, let’s make them a thing! As with most meals I cook for myself, this idea was born out of boredom. For months I was hooked on smoothies for breakfast. Then it was eggs. More recently, I started to go untraditional with butternut squash and such. This week I wanted something different….
Happy Monday! I’m so excited to get a minute to blog today. Monday’s are pretty busy for me so I feel ahead of the game already. I’m not as prepared as I’d like to be for the week in the meal planning department so I found myself scrambling in the kitchen this morning trying to…
Guys, I’ve got nothing. I’m totally drained. I can’t believe it’s only Tuesday. Tomorrow’s Halloween. My house is a disaster. The only things I’m holding on to are my mornings at the gym and cooking. Everything else has pretty much fallen to the wayside. I made this yesterday for breakfast, of all meals, and it…
Happy Thursday everyone! It’s been a few crazy weeks in these parts. I don’t have the time or brainpower to get into it. I do, however, need to share this super fun, easy, midweek meal idea! After making Moo Shu Pork Tacos earlier this week, I found myself with an extra bag of shredded red cabbage….
The story of this Pumpkin Soup with Turkey and Kale begins two weeks ago at the grocery store. I can’t quite remember why but that particular weekend I fond myself at the store early on a Saturday morning. The place was dead. I questioned why I wasn’t shopping at this time every week, especially after…
