Well, it is Easter weekend and in my home that means lets clean out the refrigerator to make room for all of the leftovers from Easter dinner. Every holiday family comes to my home as it seems easier to hold everyone, and I like to cook. But even when family takes their share of leftovers […]
I am sure that everyone knows by now that I eat healthy, even though the rest of the family doesn’t always follow with me on this subject. I also like to find new foods and ideas for new dishes that are healthy as well as easy on the budget. Have any of you tried lentils […]
I love to cook and I especially love to look at cookbooks and drool over recipes. Sometimes though I also just “wing it” when cooking. Most of the time those recipes where I just wing it turn out to be our favorites. Such is the case when I was craving a pot pie. Mind you […]
I am not sure what it is about eating unprocessed and healthy, but I come up with the weirdest combinations of food that actually turn out pretty tasty. The other night I made some grilled chicken, sweet potatoes and coleslaw. Well separate they would be ok, but when you make oven roasted sweet potatoes with […]
If you are like me and are tired of eating oatmeal in the morning, here is a recipe for pancakes that even my family will eat. The basic recipe can be found here, but I altered it this morning and did not add any sugar and they taste just as good. Now keep in mind […]
October 1st and I have so far made it totally unprocessed and healthy. If you follow me at all, you know that I have heart disease so I already eat healthy. According to the unprocessed rules, some of my food isn’t aloud. So instead of me having coconut oil I will continue having canola and […]
We didn’t have anything in the house for breakfast the other day and I remembered that I had pinned a recipe on Pinterest for some oatmeal thingy. I looked and found the recipe and I knew that it would be a hit in my home since not all of us eat cereal. You can find […]
Does it seem like life just goes much too quickly anymore? Seriously, this summer has gone by so quick and this past week seemed like it flew by. I was ready for a break yesterday and I told my hubby that the two of us needed to just go out and enjoy the nice day […]
What do you do when you have four people in the house that want different things. Hubby wanted spaghetti and meat sauce and my daughter wanted meatball sandwiches. I just wanted something to eat as I was starving :). So I, being the good person that I am kept everyone happy. I made meatball patties! […]
I haven’t made cookies in a while and I had that guilt syndrome kick in today. I wasn’t in the mood to make the usual chocolate chip or peanut butter, so I went through the cupboards to see what was on hand. Hmm, premade sugar cookie pouch, a package of dried fruit and the white […]
