We all have the same thing in common. Sometimes we just need a warm chocolate chip cookie dipped in milk. Since we know processed sugars and refined flours are horrible for you, I’ve personally made and ranked 5 of the top viewed healthy chocolate chip cookie recipes online. You’re welcome.
Prepare yourselves for a rant. As I’ve mentioned one, two or a million times, I get so angry when companies add sugar to things that don’t need sugar. Fruit is my biggest pet peeve (and why do we need to add sugar to nature’s sugar?), but sauces drive me crazy. A few weeks ago, I […]
My husband used to ask me to buy pre-packaged oatmeal packets for his breakfast. One day I decided to read the ingredients. Yikes. This breakfast was not doing my husband any favors. I quickly realized I could easily make him his own oatmeal packets for much less money and with a much more impressive ingredient […]
It’s spring and I live in the Rockies. That means one day it will be 70 degrees and the next day, 30. And when it’s cold, I want soup. And this soup totally delivers on flavor. It has two, yes TWO different sausages. This is an important component in our house as my 5-year-old daughter’s […]
Have you seen that ad going around? It has a half rotten banana and says “5 foods to never eat if you don’t want to be fat.” That’s one of those ads that make my skin itch because the focus is wrong. So I decided to counter that ad with a post about 5 ingredients to […]
I have to admit, as a busy mom, I don’t always have time for a healthy lunch. I try to sit down to a plate of veggies and protein but there are days that 2 p.m. hits and I realize I’m starving and settle for a fruit leather and a few spoonfuls of almond butter. […]
Easter is one of my favorite times of year. It’s the first real celebration since Christmas and it’s the start of warm weather and playing outside. It’s like a new beginning. I especially love Easter because of what it represents. We are a Christian family, so this is a special time of year for us. […]
Chicken is cheap and has great protein, so we buy a lot of it. But chicken can easily become very boring. This is a fun change from a basic grilled chicken. I read a recipe similar to this in a “healthy” cookbook. I was shocked it was considered healthy with all the sugars and hydrogenated oils. […]
Today I’ll tackle some common, unhealthy, sweet food vices and do my best to give you healthier versions to replace them. Eating healthy doesn’t mean eating kale and spinach all day (though I do recommend eating at least one of these every day). Eating healthy is delicious and fun. Hopefully this post can prove that.
I love stir frys. It’s just a fancy way of throwing everything you want in a pan and cooking it together in delicious seasoning. It comes together in one pot, is full of veggies and protein, and can be customized to for every person. Last week, I had some leftover, cubed chicken breast I needed […]
