I saw this Holiday Granola over at Yummy Mummy a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t wait to try it. I’ve been eating it non-stop sprinkled over a big bowl of greek yogurt! (Granola is healthy and so is greek yogurt so it’s all good;)) I might have slightly…

Butternut Squash Chili
I hope you guys all had a great Thanksgiving! I intended to post a recipe that would use up some of your Thanksgiving leftovers, but all we’ve done with ours is make turkey sandwich after turkey sandwich. With a side of mashed potatoes. Because for some reason I thought I needed to make three dozen…
Mashed Sweet Potato & Apple Casserole
These mashed sweet potatoes and apples are a super simple side to make for your Thanksgiving dinner. I know we all love sweet potatoes loaded with butter, brown sugar, and covered in gobs of marshmallows, but this casserole is naturally sweetened by the apples in it so they don’t need a lot of…
Healthy Cranberry Sweet Potato Bread
This Cranberry Sweet Potato Bread just screams fall! It’s the perfect bread to enjoy Thanksgiving morning for breakfast, served as part of your appetizer spread, and is even sweet enough to be a Thanksgiving dessert. But let’s not make it compete with pie okay? And since it’s time to start thinking about gift giving, add…
Lightened Up Broccoli Cheese & Potato Soup
I haven’t always liked Broccoli Cheese Soup. I guess it’s been something I’ve grown to like as my taste buds have matured. Let’s pretend they have matured. Mmmkayyy? Even if I did shove my face with my child’s Spagettio-O’s and Meatballs the other day for lunch. With all of this chilly weather we’re having I…
High Protein Pumpkin Pancakes
I’ve finally jumped on the Pinterest train and I’m seeing so many pumpkin flavored sweets it’s killing me! Re-pin. Re-pin. Re-pin. I feel myself gaining weight pin by pin. These High Protein Pumpkin Pancakes are one way to enjoy the taste of pumpkin this season without busting the waist-line. Of course they don’t compare to…
Cinnamon-Roasted Sweet Potato & Apple Salad with Caramel Vinaigrette Chicken (the best fall salad)
I am obsessed with this salad. I want to eat it every day. At least until I get sick of it. But I’m not sure I’ll ever get sick of the cinnamon-roasted sweet potatoes, apples, and the caramel vinaigrette chicken that goes into it. It’s like dinner (or lunch) and dessert in one big, beautiful…
Italian Sausage and Veggie Pasta
Before I get too ahead of myself with fall recipes, I’ve still got three giant zucchinis I need to use up before they go bad. But I have no clue what to do with them. I’ve already made zucchini bread. And zucchini cookies. I’ve sauteed it, roasted it, and made a pretty tasty zucchini…
Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken & Black Bean Chili
I enjoyed using my slow cooker during the summer to keep the oven off and the house cool. But now that it’s fall, I can start using it to make warm, comforting soups and chilis. Even though we’re still having a few 80 degree days here, I’m welcoming the season of soups and chilis…
Feta-Avocado Turkey Burger Pitas
Here’s a tasty Pita Burger to enjoy on this last (unofficial) day of summer. Turkey burgers stuffed with feta cheese and avocado enjoyed in a tasty whole wheat pita with lettuce, tomato, and a cumin-mayo to give ’em just a bit of kick. If you prefer, you can serve these burgers on a plain…
