Adventures in Healthy Eating
I don’t even know where to start with my latest Date-Nite-In experience. I think it may have been our best one yet! Let me start at the beginning. A few months ago I saw an article talking about Beef Bourguignon, and I’ll be honest, I never really knew what it was. (I also can’t remember…
Hey guys! Remember me? I feel as if I haven’t blogged in forever! I don’t know if it’s time or motivation. As the kids get older, I feel more engaged with them when I’m not working, and by the end of the day, I am done. It doesn’t help that my commute increased by…
Originally posted 2014. Completely uninspired, the acorn squash sat on my counter for weeks. Nothing sounded fun — stuff it? Puree it? Attempt to get the family to eat it? Ugh. So I decided to simply cut and roast. There was only one problem. I totally forgot about it in the oven! I have no idea…
I’ve been swamped with work since the start of the semester. It’s crazy! That said, I’ve been trying to post some of my cooking adventures on IG. It might be some time until I post a new recipe.

Sorry for the short hiatus! School started this week so I’ve been feverishly preparing for classes while balancing the kids who don’t go back until next week. Needless to say, it’s been a 3-ring circus around here. I’m just popping in real fast to share the newest most requested Vintage GreenLiteBites recipe, Roasted (Wish They…
The Husband and I are kid-less this week (they are visiting Grandma!) so I planned some fun Date-Night-In style dinners for us. Asian-Inspired Short Ribs was my first. A few months ago I made short ribs for the first time following a recipe I found on Cooking Light. This time I ventured on my own…

Once I got back from my third and final vacation of the summer — more on that soon over on my personal blog — I couldn’t wait to get back to my kitchen. Traveling and cooking are my absolute two favorite things to do. One day, it’s all I hope to be doing. Anyway, this…
I originally posted this precisely 5-years ago today on July 31, 2014! Mom did it again and dropped off a zucchini the size of a baseball bat. I love it! Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables because it’s so versatile and makes a great recipe bulker, increasing serving sizes of things like chili without…
