I don’t usually crave hamburgers. (Unless I’m pregnant, then the cravings are severe. I have been known to get emotional about my burgers while pregnant too. One time I balled when Brett screwed up my order. I only wanted meat, cheese, and the bun. How could he get it wrong? I laugh now, but if…

Get out of the Chicken Rut: Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Spinach & Tomatoes
If you haven’t noticed, we keep dinners around here pretty simple (well, almost everything around here is simple). I am a simple-kind-of person. I try to get creative with our simple meals, but sometimes I fall into a rut. Especially with chicken. I usually bake up a few chicken tenders seasoned with olive oil…
Oat and Pecan Crusted Chicken Tenders
Just wanted to share these quick and easy chicken tenders before I leave for Arizona in the morning. I’m somewhat disappointed that rain is in the forecast for our race this weekend. I’m in serious need of sunshine. Fingers crossed the weather gods show me some love. I kind of really like love deep fried…
Roasted Veggie and Chicken Spread {more Super Bowl food}
A few weeks ago, I went to a little recipe group some ladies from my church had. Somehow I didn’t read the invitaiton missed the memo to bring a healthy dish. I showed up with these. Soooo far from healthy. Oops. But I did come away with inspiration (from the healthy dishes shared) and…
Bacon ‘n’ Egg Breakfast Pasta
**This just in, what I am calling breakfast pasta is really just carbonara. It just sounds more fun calling it bacon ‘n’ egg pasta. ————————————— Owen and I have a pretty good morning routine going for ourselves. He wakes up between 6:30 and 7:00, I feed him his oatmeal, grab a banana, and we…
Pumpkin Almond Craisin Granola
My granola making over the weekend was a success! I loved the way it turned out. A friend of mine has been ranting about this recipe, so I figured for my first home-made granola go, I’d give hers a try. There are a lot of ingredients that go into it, and the trip to Good…
Low Fat Oatmeal Banana Bread
The thought of adding oats to banana bread sounded so perfect and healthy. And then I went and topped it with chocolate and butterscotch chips. I couldn’t help it. Can we just say it’s still low fat, so we all feel a little…

Citrus Salad with Grapefruit Vinegairette
Don’t forget to enter to win a Pojo Yoga Mat here. I used to douse grapefruit in sugar when I was younger. Half way through eating it, the sugar would have dissolved so I’d cover it with more. That was the only way I liked it. I like to think my taste…
Herb-Parmesan Whole Wheat Flatbread
I love Weight Watcher’s recipes because I don’t feel like I’m eating diet food. Their recipes are still flavorful and filling, and it makes eating healthy easy! You guys know how I feel about my carbs, especially bread. This Herb-Parmesan Flatbread is my new best friend. Goes great alongside a healthy salad or soup! …
