Sharing my favorite healthy recipes!
By now, you all know how much I love muffins! So much so, that I make a batch pretty much every week. It’s easy to take to work in the morning, it’s easy for the kids to grab and snack on during the day and …
My twin sister always makes fun of me because I make pasta so much. But with so many different ways to make it, you can never get tired of it. When I had my first apartment, I think I made pasta at least 4 nights …
My kids love Popsicles pretty much all year round, but especially during these hot summer days. I think its a much better alternative to ice cream and they love it more than that. When I was at Trader Joe’s last weekend, I stocked up on …
I was recently sent a free box of Total Cereal + Omega 3’s in the mail. I’ve had Total cereal before, and I like it, and having a newer version with Omega 3’s sounded that much better. I usually eat my breakfast at work and …
A few weeks ago I was watching Unwrapped on Food TV because they were profiling spicy foods. One of the recipes they made was from the Cheesecake Factory. I’ve only been to one once in my life, but the recipe looked incredible. It’s actually one …
I was so lucky today! Along with about 15 other people, I get to test a possible lunch menu for a restaurant in my town called May del Sol. They’ve been open for a while, but soon will be open for lunch in a few …
A few months back I was given samples of Muir Glen’s fire roasted tomatoes to try. Delish! For those of you who don’t have back yard gardens, buying Muir Glen canned tomatoes is a great option. Recently I was contacted by them and asked if …
I am a member of Slow Food, which tries to bring people back to the table with the freshest foods, cooking with real ingredients, the more it comes from the earth, the better! Recently I joined that Group on Linked-In and a fellow member Meredith …
I’ve been thinking about this for a while now… I’ve been eating way healthier, read/write about healthy eating and I’m doing the worst thing – too much diet pop! When I think about how much money I’ve spent on the stuff over the years, I …
Last week my family went to my nieces gelato store which just opened a few weeks ago. It’s all very exciting, she’s worked so hard at it, and her dream of opening her own shop has come true! Her shop is at 859 N. Damen …
Believe it or not, these are made from chick peas you buy out of a can. If you roast them on low heat long enough, they turn into a crunchy yummy snack. I’ve only made these 3 times before, but each time I make them …
[/caption] Mark’s day started today with waking up his older brother at 7 a.m. poking him in the back saying “It’s my birthday” over and over again. I got to sleep in until 8! Next on the agenda, opening presents, coffee for me and my …
Yesterday I posted my recipe for green salsa, I ended up making a quick version of chicken enchiladas. This went from start to finish in about 30 minutes. The quick method I used, was I took 3 big boneless chicken breasts, trimmed of any fat …
These are tomatillos. The look like green tomatoes except they have these paper skins on them. Once you take the paper off, the skins are kind of sticky, so you just have to wash them really well before starting. After I made this salsa and …
Most of my regular readers already know about Rouxbe Cooking School, but for those who don’t, it’s an on-line cooking school where you can learn about so many things (300 classes and counting)! The best part, you can do it from home, in your own …
This is something I can have virtually every day and never get tired of it! It’s a lot of chopping, but I just chopped all the veggies: celery, carrot, garlic, red onion, cauliflower, pea pods, broccoli slaw, water chestnuts and sauteed them in a pan …

So yesterday I was checking my e-mail and I clicked on Food Buzz’s featured recipes for the day. One was from THIS SITE and it was for bacon, cheddar and cornmeal waffles. It sounded amazing to me, but I don’t have a waffle maker, so …
