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…

A Grand Ole Cake on the 4th of July!
The Fourth of July is a huge deal in our household. It’s probably right up there with Thanksgiving and Halloween. About two months ago, my husband, who never ever emails me, sent me a cake recipe for the 4th of July. He never ever asks me for anything, so this was a big deal. Needless to say, I was up for the challenge. My husband went so far as emailing the recipe for it, so I just had to do it. He requested for an American Flag cake, one which upon slicing, are slices of Old Glory herself! Here’s a link to the recipe care of Food52.com: https://food52.com/recipes/28811-american-flag-cake Due to…

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? Roasted Garlic Chicken with Thyme
Yesterday, a friend told me about this great Roasted Garlic Chicken Recipe that her whole family loves and that it is really easy to make. I am always up for simple and healthy recipes that my family will actually eat. My husband is not a big meat or seafood eater (yes, makes for interesting dinners) so I have to look for recipes that he might like as well. My daughter is fairly easy to please as long as it isn’t too spicy. When I heard what was included in this recipe: chicken, potatoes, garlic, tomatoes, fresh thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper I was sold. That is a fairly easy shopping list so…
