Sharing my favorite healthy recipes!
The Grocery store I go to sometimes called Caputo’s has probably the biggest fruit and veggies section I’ve ever seen. It’s amazing! Underneath some of the fruits/veggies on the floor are big boxes of things that need to be sold that day. I scored with …
This recipe couldn’t be easier! What you need: 3 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless rub(recipe to follow) 1 jar of your favorite salsa fixins to go with the chicken: tortillas, lettuce, cheese, black beans, hot sauce, etc… My rub was 1 TB. chili powder 1 …

I want to thank Food Buzz for sending me 2 free bottles of Pace Picante sauce as part of their Taste Testers program. I have to be honest, I never buy Pace because I thought it wasn’t that good, but after trying both the mild …
One of my favorite things to do is try to put together a great dinner when it seems like we have nothing in the house. Such was the case the other night. I hadn’t gone to the grocery store over the weekend, so while I …

I got this recipe from Giada from FOOD TV. I was browsing their site over the weekend looking for something new to do with chicken. Like most families, I make chicken a few times a week, so I am ALWAYS looking for new ideas! This …
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 …
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 …
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 the other night, we had BAD storms again in the Chicago-land area. At about dinner time, the tornado sirens went off, and that’s pretty rare. So we headed to the basement and stayed there until the storm passed a little over an hour. Tons …
One of the things I love to do is make something deluxe when there is seemingly nothing to eat in my house. You can open up the fridge, and look in the pantry and think there is nothing to make. That’s how it was over …
I actually found this recipe from Mission Tortilla’s website. I’m always on the look out for new things I can bring to work for lunch. The better things I make, the less tempted I am to go out to lunch and possibly getting something less …
You can ask my sister, my dinners have been super boring and repetitive since my husband’s jaw has been broken and he can’t eat any real food, I have gotten lazy in the kitchen! Since my sister and I talk about food on a daily …
I was watching tv last night and saw the commerical for these. It’s Kentucky Fried Chicken’s new “Double-Down” sandwich. 2 battered and fried chicken breasts with bacon and cheese in the middle! Nice! My only advice….stay far away from this one! Actually, KFC has their …
That’s a question I am sure Mom’s and Dad’s are used to hearing from their kids pretty much every day. It seems as soon as I walk in the door after being at work all day, that’s the very first question I get before “Hi …
It was Saturday afternoon, it had been snowy and cold and windy all day, and I didn’t want to go to the store. I knew I had some stuff I could make something with. I looked in my freezer and saw I had a whole …
I came back from the store and started to make dinner and forgot to buy the packet of fajita seasoning! It was too late to start something else, because I already started cooking the chicken and peppers. So, I did a google search, got some …
I was asked if I would try MaraNatha Nut butters and I jumped at the chance. I LOVE almond butters and all natural peanut butters anyway vs. the sugary kind and super processed kind. Please check out their website at www.maranatha.com. Their company was founded …
