What’s for Dinner :: Italian Chopped Salad
With summer upon us it can be tough finding the time (or energy) to make dinner so I have been on the hunt for really simple yet healthy meals I can make in a moments time. Last week I picked up a premade Italian Chopped Salad at the grocery that included all the makings (Romaine Lettuce, Brocolli, Red Cabbage, Green Onions, and Parsley) for a yummy Italian salad. I wasn’t sure how much salami, etc., was included in the package so I went ahead and bought some nitrate-free salami (two types), mozzarella cheese, nitrate and MSG-free turkey and some grape tomatoes. I already had the dressing and Greek olives on…

Recipes :: Quick & Simple July Fourth Treats
A Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwich: The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays because we can just sit back and enjoy each other with no pressure of gift-giving (yes, this can be a little stressful don’t you think?). We usually spend the day at the pool and eat bits and pieces all day long. You know how it is! This year I want to make a couple patriotic treats to bring to the pool and these are some simple but delicious treats that just about anyone can make. Like I said, July 4th is a no-pressure holiday so let’s not stress too much about the food! Enjoy yourselves! These…

Recipes :: Start Your Day Right!
About two years ago we came across The Magic Bullet (no, this is not a sponsored post – just want to share what works for us) and have been using it pretty much everyday. Whether we grind our coffee beans in it (comes with a couple blenders) or use it to make our healthy morning drinks – we love the thing! I was really impressed with the research behind why this blender is such a good investment – for your health! By blending/juicing you are able to eat a lot more of the recommended vegetables and fruit. You can read more about the benefits of drinking your vegetables and…

What’s For Breakfast :: Buttermilk Pancakes
My daughter gets very excited when I ask her on a Saturday or Sunday morning if she wants pancakes for breakfast. I really like the Multigrain recipe I found in Kitchen Sense by Mitchell Davis but this morning I thought I’d try the buttermilk recipe. If you don’t have some buttermilk in the fridge – don’t fret – just add in some sour cream to get the same effect! Enjoy your weekend lovely dandelion moms and dads! These pancakes are really tasty as is, but you can add in some chocolate chips, blueberries, banana slices or even some nuts. I think some chopped walnuts would taste great with…

What’s For Dinner? Spinach, Cheese and Bacon Frittata
This is my go-to meal when I am not sure what to make for dinner. It is really easy to put together and you probably already have the ingredients in your refridgerator so no need for an extra trip to the grocery store! That’s always a plus in my book! You can use a pie crust if you are looking for a more hearty meal but I prefer the crustless frittata since you are tasting the eggs, spinach and bacon more without the crust. But both are great meals for a special day such as Mother’s Day and easy enough for the kids to help out with. Enjoy! …

What’s For Dinner? Lentil, Bacon and Vegetable Soup!
This is one of my favorite soup recipes because really, what’s not to like about lentils, bacon and vegetables? I am such a fan of lentils I am always on the lookout for a recipe that calls for them. This soup is really easy and you can sneak in some extra vegetables for the kids! I picked up a basket of fresh vegetables at our local farm stand and was inspired to make my favorite soup tonight. If you like lentils and fresh vegetables I promise you will love this soup! It is great anytime of year and even my picky eater (my husband) likes…
