Zucchini Fries
In my opinion, this is the best way to eat zucchini. Not the healthiest, but the best. What food doesn’t taste better fried, right? This is breaded, crispy goodness. Dip it in some marinara, even better! When I made these a few weeks ago, Luke made his own pretty impressive creation. I think he’s got…
Cherry Orange Julius
Nothing screams summer more that cold drinks. One of our favorites is an orange julius. This week we changed it up a bit and added some cherry puree. It was delicious. If you don’t have cherries and just want an orange julius, the recipe will be sightly different. Since you are taking out the cherry…
Quinoa Black Bean Salad
Okay, so there a a million quinoa salad recipes out there. You have probably made one of them already! I didn’t really jump on the quinoa band wagon until recently. I am not really into fads (as you know by my only recently visiting Trader Joe’s for the first time) so I think that may…
Southwest Salad with Grilled Salmon
One of the many ways to use the Southwest Ranch Dressing/Dip is on a salad. My favorite is with grilled salmon, black beans, corn, pico or tomatoes, a little cheese, and of course avocado. I don’t list amount for all the ingredients because it is really up to you as to how much you want…
Twice Baked Potatoes
I love potatoes. There are a million ways to cook a potato. French fries, baked, boiled, roasted, hash browns, mashed, fried, scalloped, cheesy, etc. Twice baked potatoes are one of the family favorites. Bake a potato, add some yummy stuff and bake it again. Not too hard! Potato skins filled with smashed potatoes, onions and…
Maple Nut Apple Salad
I used to eat this salad on repeat years ago at a soup and salad place until they took it off their menu. This week, I was determined to recreate it. Success!! It was a big hit with the whole family (except the little guy, of course, who eats nothing). It is light, refreshing, and…
Riced Cauliflower
Riced Cauliflower is super trendy right now. And for good reason. For those of us, you, who are trying to eat low carb meals, it is an easy way to pretend you are eating rice. I love cauliflower so it wasn’t hard for me to hop on the riced cauliflower train. About two months ago,…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
