If you’re like me you’re always short on time in the summer yet you’re looking for something healthy, delicious, and simple for dinner … stressing on simple. Wrangling a little one that just learned to walk and keeping the three year old eating healthy food is itself a challenge let alone find a way to [...]
It’s time to shake things up in the kitchen a little bit and introduce some tofu to your diet. Since fresh tofu is offered in so many different textures, this protein power house is a great alternative to meats in main courses, but is also a perfect addition to smoothies, eggs, dips, and soups. This [...]
I’m sure many of you are like me and love pasta! I mean, really, what’s not to love? All that carby goodness of pasta which also just happens to be the perfect vessel to carry some luscious sauce right to your taste buds. *drool* Of course, then there’s the downside which is all the calories [...]
I only allow myself to have the “real thing” alfredo sauce quarterly (although lately it’s been maybe twice a year now.) But for every day, I’ve drummed up something that is a very, very close second — minus the guilt. I give you: My Alfredo Sauce. Oh sure the real thing has that smooth buttery [...]
I love lasagna, not only eating it, but making it. I’ve spent years fine tuning my lasagna recipe. It is, by far, the most popular dish my coworkers ask me to make whenever we have a potluck meal. The downside? There is absolutely NOTHING healthy about my traditional lasagna recipe. It has four cheeses and [...]
Here’s another quick and easy recipe for you today! This makes 8 enchiladas so for us it acts as lunches for the next few days after we have it for dinner. The leftovers are awesome!! Turkey and Black Bean Enchiladas
**Kranking, you ask? Well, first off, let me explain that when I first saw that word, I was immediately intrigued because “Krank” (pronounced kr-aw-nk) is my maiden name. Not overly common. And, get this. You use a Krankcycle. I’m dying here!! I must have a Krankcycle. Basically, you “pedal” the Krankcycle with your arms. A [...]
I’m not going to lie to you. I’ve had a rough couple of weeks and I totally forgot that I had a post due today. It’s 11:51 p.m. and I just got home from moving our daughter and son-in-law to their first purchased home from their rental. I’m so excited for them, but I am [...]

Happy Friday!! Be prepared, because I am going to overwhelm you with goodness today! There are so many things going on, and I had to share them with you! First of all, our very own Social Sister Colleen is running in her very first 1/2 marathon this weekend AND she celebrated her ‘One Year Living [...]
I will preface this recipe by saying I’m a fisherman’s daughter. So I’m quite partial to salmon…FRESH, PACIFIC, WILD CAUGHT SALMON. This recipe though? Calls for canned. Every year at Christmas, my parents give everybody canned salmon, and usually I turn it down. Bad memories from childhood,usually involving my mom trying to pass off canned [...]
I do love me a recipe that is quick, easy, and includes the vegetable in the recipe. Tropical Chicken (Packets) definitely fits the bill. Cook this up and serve it over some brown rice and you are good to go. Now, you’ll see below that the original recipe is actually set up for cooking out [...]
Who likes to eat?! Raise your hand high in the air. Anyone on the lookout for a delicious, easy, family-pleasing comfort-type food meal for the Winter? I whipped up this recipe lickety-split, doubling the recipe to feed our family of five. It was so good that I wish that I had tripled it because um [...]
I LOVE pico de gallo. With all of my heart. If you haven’t checked out the Pioneer Woman’s Pico de Gallo recipe, you must.do.it.now. It’s perfect in every way. Plus, it’s so easy you’ll want to slap your mama. I’m serious. Did you know you can put pico (we’ll call it pico for short, m’kay?) [...]
