These pancakes taste like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I think I’ve said it before, but I’m not so much of a breakfast person. Unless of course, my breakfast tastes like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (they happen to be a favorite). Then I’ll take a stack of four please…..with some milk. And…

Creamy Mango Banana Smoothie
No one in this house is in Back-to-School mode, thank goodness! Just thinking about Owen’s first day of pre-school (yes, in two years) could make me cry. I’m so glad we’re so far from that. I mean, it’s not like time flies or anything. However, all the Back- to-School frenzy around us has made me…
Bell Pepper & Feta Quinoa Salad
This salad is very similar to the Mexican Quinoa Salad I’ve posted before. I’ve had some quinoa for a while now that was just waiting to be used. I wanted to do something different with it, but I finally just through together a simple salad with what ingredients I had…..very few. Which basically means…
Lime Cucumber & Watermelon Kabobs
I’ve never been a huge fan of cucumbers. In fact, they used to make me gag. Something about their texture and lack of flavor. I still don’t understand how people eat them plain. I have however, discovered a few ways to eat cucumbers that I actually really like. For starters, the cucumbers always…
Easy Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Drumsticks
While I was home, we had a little picnic on our lawn with some family friends and picked up a couple buckets of chicken from KFC to eat. Our friend’s little boy, Jake, is eight and I think he scored every single drumstick. Lucky boy! I remember my brothers and I fighting to the…
Buffalo Wing Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Made these for dinner last night. Let me tell you, I am winning with the low-carb eating husband right now. Knocked his socks off! I think I’ve mentioned it before, but my husband is a wing (as in chicken wings) man. I was never a wing girl until I met him (and his entire…
Blueberry Oatmeal Bread
Let me tell you a short little story about this bread. This bread, just bursting with blueberries, was created in one short afternoon. This bread, thick and hearty, and oh-so delicious was consumed in one short day. I’d like to think it’s healthy (at least I’ve been telling myself it is!). It’s loaded…
Faux Fried Rice
I really like cauliflower. I like it raw, roasted, and even went through a phase about a year ago where I was cooking faux mashed potatoes using cauliflower several times a week. I got a little cauliflowered out! That was long enough ago that I can welcome this new phase and use of cauliflower:…
Lime-Cumin Black Bean, Jicama, and Corn Salad
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July. We are exhausted from the fun we had yesterday: a 5k, swimming, volleyball tournament, sea-doing, and so much wonderful eating! We missed the firework show in Huntsville so we could get home at a decent hour but as it turned out we got quite the show…
Strawberry Almond Oatmeal Cookies
I’m sharing these healthy Strawberry Almond Oatmeal Cookies over at Muncher Cruncher today. Megan is a personal trainer and is all about eating healthy 100% of the time. I hope she approves of these healthy (or maybe I should say healthier) cookies. The pureed strawberries in these make them perfectly moist. They are almost like…
