Homemade BBQ Sauce
The other day I posted a recipe for Crock-Pot Pulled Pork. One of the main ingredients is BBQ sauce, but I don’t recommend using commercially produced bottled BBQ sauce. It’s usually filled with sugar, artificial colors & flavors, and sodium – ugh! Take a look at the ingredients in some BBQ sauces next time you’re […]
Crock-Pot Pulled Pork
February 27, 2012
Check out the new blog here Crock-pot recipes are still the most popular recipes on my blog, and I only have two recipes posted. So I’ve got another one for you today. I’ve been meaning to make pulled pork in a slow-cooker for a really long time, but I have a couple of issues with […]
a heart-healthy restaurant meal at home
February 24, 2012
It’s Heart Health Month, and honestly, I haven’t given you very many heart healthy recipes {mini Oreo filled chocolate chip cookies, icing, and sugar cookies aren’t exactly healthy – oops}. So to make up for it, here is a really heart healthy recipe. Salmon, pistachios, garlic, parsley, and whole wheat bread – all heart healthy […]
quick and easy icing
February 22, 2012
I cringe whenever I see the icing you can buy in the baking aisle. Only 2 tablespoons has almost 2g trans fat– ridiculous!! That’s insane, especially since it is so easy to make your own. I promise. It takes less than 10 minutes to make as much or as little icing as you need {or […]
salsa that makes everything taste tropical
February 18, 2012
Mangoes remind me of tropical scenes, and it’s February – the exact opposite of tropical in my opinion. But for some reason, mangoes were on sale the other day. I am a sucker for fruits and vegetables on sale, so of course I bought 3. One can only eat so much mango, so I decided […]
really good avocado pasta

Remember Jump Rope for Heart? I used to love it; instead of school I got to jump rope and just play with my friends. When you’re 8, what’s not to love about that? If my memory serves me right, I think it was always around this time of year, possibly because February is Heart Health […]
happy Super Bowl day
February 5, 2012
So, I honestly could care less about who wins the Super Bowl; sarry. Next year it will be in New Orleans though, and that’s what I’m excited about 🙂 Here are some recipes from this blog that you could make for a Super Bowl party: Chicken Taquitos Four-cheese Stuffed Mushrooms Jalapeño Popper Dip Caramelized Onion […]
four-cheese stuffed mushrooms
February 3, 2012
Looking for another appetizer recipe to bring to your Super Bowl party? How about some cheesy stuffed mushrooms? The great thing about this appetizer is that it doesn’t taste healthy, and it’s full of vegetables! If you like mushrooms, you need to make this recipe! Even if you aren’t making anything for a Super Bowl […]
chicken taquitos
February 2, 2012
I love appetizers. I always end up filling up on appetizers and having no room for dinner. Unfortunately, appetizers aren’t usually healthy. Mayonnaise-filled dips, fried wings covered in butter and sauce, or some other high-calorie concoction generally cover the appetizer table. What if you want to have an appetizer that isn’t seriously unhealthy but is […]
