When you’re on a low carb diet, sweet potatoes are one healthy option you can eventually introduce back in when you crave carbs. By using the potato here as the taco, you save on all the extra unnecessary calories you’d otherwise eat without sacrificing any of the good flavor. The cumin, in particular, stands out adding […]
If you ask my mom, ravioli was one of my favorite foods growing up. It’s still one of my weeknight go-to’s, but now I have to make it a little more adult and kid friendly! I tend to choose once with vegetables inside. You only taste the cheese, so it’s a win-win! If you pair […]
My two and a half year old has become quite smart about finding ‘hidden’ vegetables be it in sauce, meatballs, muffins, etc. But this time, I’ve outsmarted her with zucchini. There are two whole zucchini’s in here and at the rate she eats this, I call it a win. If you’re like me, you’ll want […]
Summertime smells like basil if you walk out in our garden. We grow it in larges batches because of how good it smells and tastes. You can mix it into anything too from smoothies to sauce. I particularly love it on pasta and bread, but it can easily be mixed into muffins or as a […]
Much like my traditional challah french toast recipe, this recipe has a similar ending even though the process is different. You can add any fruit or nut to this recipe and it freezes great!
When I had Amelia, I realized quickly that one-handed foods are a must for any new mom. I really struggled with getting healthy foods in because I wasn’t able to sit down for a proper meal. So, my cousin, Carolyn, made these egg muffins for me and I’ve been making them ever since (even though […]
We BBQ most nights in the summer – it’s easy to cook and easy to clean-up. I like to make sure we change up what we’re eating each time, but one recipe we always make is Trevor’s Coleslaw. It’s a recipe he brought here from England and every time we make it, everyone raves about […]
With a new baby and a toddler, we don’t have much time to think about cooking. So a recipe that you can dump into the crock-pot in the morning and have dinner ready by the evening makes life so much easier. It’s so versatile that you can add any seasoning to the mix, too. Super […]
Sunday mornings are for pancakes in our house. We love cooking together in our pj’s and starting the day in a lazy kind of way. These pancakes only take 5-minutes to prep and another 5 minutes to cook (as long as your pan is preheated!). And while we normally eat them on the weekends, Amelia […]
My all-time favorite breakfast is challah french toast. My mom made it for me as a kid and I can’t eat it any other way! The egginess of the challah bread coupled with the soaking of the bread in the egg mixture (rather than just dunking it) is what makes it extra decadent. I know […]
