I love quinoa

March 30, 2012

0

Quinoa {pronounce keen-wah} is one of my favorite grains! It is a whole grain, and you don’t have to go out searching for the whole wheat version – it’s already “whole wheat.” I like to buy it from the bulk bins at Whole Foods; it can get a little pricey when you buy it from […]

Salt-attack

This week is World Salt Awareness Week – how exciting!? I know it’s already Thursday, but salt awareness is pretty important. Kind of boring – yes, but still very important. Even though salt is an important mineral that our body needs, most Americans consume way too much salt. So here are some quick facts about salt […]

cheesy bean casserole

Check out the new blog here  The end of March is in sight, so I feel like my window to post warm casserole recipes is closing. Therefore, I’m going to try to squeeze in a few more before it gets too hot to even think about turning on the oven. And since it’s a Friday […]

Check out the new blog here  Happy World Water Day 2012! Yesterday, I posted a recipe for Poppy-seed Chicken Casserole {yum!} to celebrate National Poultry Day which happened to be on Monday. I thought maybe you’d want to celebrate the food holiday on the actual day, so here are some ideas for National Chip and […]

Check out the new blog here  Did you know that Monday was National Poultry Day? Well, it was, and even though it’s Wednesday I thought I’d give you another delicious chicken recipe – Poppy seed Chicken! Oh how I love me some Poppy-seed Chicken Casserole. In college, it was always a treat when we had […]

Just in case you are interested in making a couple of green meals, snacks, etc, I decided to come up with a list of all the green recipes on my blog or that I think look delicious and/or worth making… Here is a list from my blog: Avocado Pasta – one of my favorites! Edamame […]

My favorite meal to make

March 15, 2012

I’m not sure why I have waited this long to post this recipe. It is probably one of my top 3 favorite meals to make {I can’t think of the other two, so maybe this is just my “top recipe I like to make”}. Oh how I love this meal. I am so excited to […]

Crock Pot Red Beans and Rice

March 13, 2012

0

I love using my Crock-pot (see here, here, and here). It makes life so much easier. I usually put all the ingredients in the pot at night {when my kitchen is still messy & there’s food everywhere – I am usually not up for dirtying my kitchen in the morning}, stick it in the refrigerator, and […]

Gluten-Free, Egg-Free Chicken Fingers

March 8, 2012

Chicken fingers are probably one of the most standard items on any menu. Everyone loves chicken fingers. You’re crazy not to love ‘em; they’re delicious! Unfortunately, they aren’t the healthiest item on the menu or even close to healthy. Most 3-5 piece chicken fingers have 400-600 calories and over 30g fat! And that’s without the […]

Eating New Orleans – Cafe Amelie

March 6, 2012

Recently, my friend and I spent a really fun afternoon in the French Quarter. We took the streetcar down there and acted like tourists. Our first stop was lunch (at 2:30). We went to Cafe Amelie, a delightful place on Royal Street. We split an appetizer, a salad, and a sandwich. We asked our waiter […]

Southwest cornbread

On Monday, I posted a recipe for Crock-Pot Pulled Pork. In the picture, there’s some cornbread, and I love cornbread. Cornbread improves every meal. Well, I didn’t really talk about the cornbread the other day. I just suggested you serve your pork with cornbread… I can’t stand it when I see a picture on a blog […]

Skillet BBQ Chicken Pasta

March 1, 2012

8

So I’m not sure why I’ve been craving BBQ so much lately. Maybe because the temperature outside was 81° yesterday, and the sky could not have been a prettier blue. It was February but felt like May, which just so happens to be National BBQ Month. The other (most likely) answer is that I wanted […]
