We are in the middle of “Macaroni Free March.” Everyday, my almost five year old would ask for mac n cheese and probably about half of the time we’d make it for him from a box from Whole Foods – something I swore I’d never do! To get out of this rut, we declared...
Needed some clean lunch ideas, so I browsed the Clean Eating Meal Program and found inspiration for this dish. This is made with ingredients I always have on hand, so I definitely wanted to save this recipe to make again!
I am not vegetarian but I’m really digging this “queso” dip that contains no cheese or dairy. I’m convinced in a blind tasting, you wouldn’t be able to tell it’s not real cheese. And what’s even better – you can serve at a party and it doesn’t get hard or lumpy as it cools...
This meal is a long time favorite of ours; even our 4 year-old enjoys it. It’s been modified from a photocopied recipe shared in a Weight Watchers meeting and a quick google search shows it’s not to be found anywhere online, so I’m glad to be able to share my version...

I made a double batch of bolognese sauce and used the leftovers to make a wonderful Zucchini Noodle Lasagna. It was my first time trying to make zucchini lasagna noodles. I decided to try the mandoline and I’m glad I did – it worked perfectly. I layered the zoodles with herbed...
This jalapeño cilantro hummus tastes fresh and flavorful and is a great way to use the jalapeños that are overflowing in my garden right now. After my good friend offered to pay me to make this for her regularly, I knew I needed to add it to the blog.
I’ve mentioned before that I do weight loss challenges to lose weight. Well, I’ve got a challenge wrapping up soon. I need to lose four pounds in two weeks. Totally doable right? Forgot to mention we are also going on vacation during those two week. I’m doomed! Or maybe not. We...
