Lately I have been craving soups, soups, and more soups! I finally got around to making White Chicken Chili on Friday and I’m sharing my recipe this morning. I first had White Chicken Chili at Don Pablo’s and since they are not around any more in our area I have to make it myself. I …
This time of year one of our favorite comfort foods is risotto. I like to make a few different variations and this shrimp and asparagus risotto is a new favorite. Never made risotto before? Don’t let it intimidate you. It does take a little bit of time and attention but it’s easy and definitely worth …
I took the boys blueberry picking last week and had a blast. We put our blueberries to good use making some muffins. I loosely based this recipe off of one from Taste of Home. Here’s what I came up with: Blueberry Citrus Muffins Ingredients: 1 cup of quick cooking oats 1/4 cup of orange juice …
I used to be one of those people who could not eat fruit in their salad. Strawberry salads still gross me out but for some reason oranges get a pass. I put oranges in my Cheater’s Oriental Chicken Salad. And I love it. Today I’m sharing another salad that is a take on one that …

Good Monday Morning! I know, it’s Monday, but it can still be good. Lately I’ve really been loving the say “Today is a good day to have a good day”. I just feel like for myself there are so many days where the day really is what I make of it and so that saying …
Happy almost St. Patrick’s Day! I was trying to think of a festive snack that I could make for the boys last week and when I saw a recipe for some waffle and fruit kabobs that was really cute I was inspired to make some rainbow fruit kabobs. So there really is not much of …
I don’t know about you, but around here we love Chobani. LOVE. When A was a baby and toddler he did not like meat for the longest time and so his main sources of protein were beans and Greek yogurt. My husband is also a huge fan of Greek yogurt and according to him Chobani …
I love meatballs. I really do. Meatball subs are one of my favorite things and I’ve been craving them lately. But let’s be honest, meatballs are not exactly light and for someone trying to lose a little weight like me they are not usually on the menu. So I thought I’d do a little tweaking …
