simple recipes, easy clean-up
Little buds of green grass are finally starting to peek through the barren ground and pretty soon fields of gorgeous flowers will be in full bloom. The sun is shining longer and longer each day, producing tiny beams of warmth on our faces as we finally emerge from what seemed like the longest winter ever. All of this can only mean one thing… Spring is here! After being huddled up all winter with sweatpants and cozy slippers, I am ready {Read More}
I’m making a resolution this year to make healthier choices. To start this year of “new” off right, I’m sharing 10 Healthy Breakfast Options in this week’s Saturday Morning Roundup. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! If you can manage to start your day off healthy and right, the rest of the day will be a breeze. Or at least you’ll have one healthy meal to counter-act some accidental bad choices… Each Saturday Morning Roundup this month {Read More}
Sometimes inspiration for my recipes come in the most random of ways. Take this Flat Bread Pizza for instance; I was eating a Lean Cuisine for lunch one day {don’t judge, they are delicious}, it was a spinach and artichoke dip with a slice of pita bread. Instead of just dipping the pita bread into the spinach and artichoke dip, I covered the pita bread with the dip, and the spinach and artichoke pizza was born. Of course I needed to {Read More}
Have you ever been to California Pizza Kitchen and ordered their White Pizza? It has a creamy white base then topped with spinach, and all sorts of yummy cheeses. It. Is. Epic. And then one day I wanted some of that epic goodness for lunch, but didn’t want to have to drive all the way there, so I created my own. Instead of using pizza dough, I put all the elements of the White Pizza on some pita bread. Yes {Read More}
I am huge fan of Greek food. I get on Greek food kicks where I eat it so much that my eyebrows get bushy. Then I tweeze, and all is right with the world. Grilled chicken souvlaki has been one of my favorite Greek dishes for a few years now. It became on of my favorites because I found out that it was one of the healthiest Greek foods you could eat, and it still tastes incredible. I love to {Read More}
I have been on a major Greek food kick lately. It happens to me regularly. Just the other night The Man and I went out to get some Greek food and all the flavors came rushing back to me. One of our favorite appetizers is the Spanakopita. It looks hard to say, but don’t let the name fool you, it’s really easy to make. You want even better news? This method of baking the Spanakopita in Phyllo dough is a much {Read More}
I just got back from a week long trip of visiting family and friends. Which basically means eating tons and tons of bad, bad food. It’s ok, we do these things for those that we love. So getting back meant serving my family something healthy and packed full of veggies, but also full of flavor. This was a win-win for my gang. This whole wheat pasta dish is packed with zucchini, red bell peppers, spinach and shrimp, all tossed in a creamy garlic sauce. {Read More}
Since the New Year I have been all about the greens. Salad greens that is. There are so many possibilities when it comes to creating a delicious salad. It seems almost impossible to create a non-delicious salad. Throw in some veggies, fruit, nuts, dried berries, cheese, or just about anything your mind can come up with… it’s simple! I love this salad for so many reasons. The bright colors, the bold flavors, the sweet, the tangy, the crunch, the simplicity. It’s ridiculously easy {Read More}
I have had an obsession with Greek food lately. I simply love the fresh taste, and the combination of healthy ingredients. I also love it when a meal can be made in one skillet! {less dishes} This one you can throw together in no time! Here’s how you do it: Mince 4 cloves of garlic {fresh is best, but you can always use the canned stuff}, set it aside. In a large skillet heat 1 tbsp of olive oil, then add 1 tsp {Read More}
Who doesn’t love pizza!? My personal favorite is Pizza Hut’s Supreme Pizza, with it’s fluffy crust, loads of toppings, melting cheese…it’s a party in my mouth! {photo from Pizza Hut} But just one slice of this pan pizza and you’re gobbling down over 400 calories, and 18 grams of fat! And who can really stop at just one slice?! {put your hand down, we all know you’re lying!} I thought it would be fun to make my own Pizza Supreme, and be able {Read More}
