Have you looked at the calendar lately? If you haven’t, then you might be as shocked as I was last night to realize that Valentine’s Day is just FIVE days away! While the big day may be right around the corner, there’s still plenty of time to find that perfect gift for that special someone [...]
Crock Pots have been all the rage as of late…there have been all kinds of pages popping up on Facebook. Crock Pot Girls, Crock Pot Guys, Skinny Crock Pot are a few I’ve been following. It really is undeniable – the crock pot can be a great tool for creating inexpensive, healthy meals. I’ve tried [...]
Confession: I am not a planner. I do not enjoy menu planning. I am not really a fan of cooking, period. But this week, ladies and gentlemen, I menu plan. For you. You are very welcome. Monday: Ginger Chicken with Snow Pea Salad Tuesday: Healthiest Lasagna Ever Wednesday: Shredded Chicken Burritos {crockpot} Thursday: Grilled Salmon [...]
I try really hard not to pick up ‘fast food’ very often, but as a mom of two young children, I have to be honest…there are days when the only way we’re all getting fed is if I grab something quick. Thankfully, for those days, I have Subway. Subway has been my go-to for fast, [...]
It seems all kinds of wrong to make a comfort food like chili when it is still 100+ degrees outside but when I saw this recipe, realized I had almost all the ingredients in my cupboard/fridge, and that it used a crock pot (one of my all-time favorite kitchen appliances)- I wasted no time in [...]
First, I want to offer up the Sisterhood’s thoughts and prayers to those who might be affected by the horribly tragic earthquake in Japan. I know we have at least one Sister who is stationed in Japan, and we’re thinking of her and hoping she’s safe. Let’s talk about food. Yes, food. It is not [...]
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 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 [...]
I love salad. Pure and simple. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I think I could live on salad. There are so many different kinds. So many ways to make a basic green salad and then change it up a hundred different ways. I bought the Sandra Lee [...]
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?) [...]
I’m just going to flat out state that I am hideously bad at food photography. This photograph does not do this dish justice at all. Okay, now that we have the ‘stating the obvious’ out of the way, I’d like to introduce you to my very favorite pasta dish in the entire world. Yes, that’s [...]
This recipe was originally published a long time ago…..sorry that I don’t have anything new for y’all, but I have lots of amazing women at my house this weekend for a little retreat. More to come on that soon, as all of them are members of our beloved Sisterhood!! This is one of my go-to [...]
I LOVE Thai Food. Unfortunately, it does not love my muffin top (or maybe loves it too much, it likes to hang out there, set up camp, chill). Thai food can be SUPER unhealthy. Lots of high fat ingredients, lots of frying. Lots of rice. One of my very favorite dishes is green curry. Coconut [...]
This recipe doesn’t need much explaining! It was ridiculously simple and easy and my children LOVED it, including the baby. This one will become a staple in our house, that’s for sure. I made absolutely ZERO modifications because um, I didn’t need to. Crock Pot Chicken Stroganoff (I found this on a Weight Watchers Community [...]
