On Sleepless Nights and Parenting Advice… Healthy Strawberry Orange Smoothies

2013-03-26_StrawberryOrangeSmoothie-250px

I’m tired. Despite my greatest intentions, I don’t get as many things done during the day as I’d like to. I haven’t written as many blog posts over the last few months as I feel I should. Some nights, scrambled eggs or a smoothie are about the only thing I have the energy to make…

Blood Orange Vinaigrette

Let’s talk about salad, shall we? It seems that when January rolls around, everyone starts eating salads again. Sure, I understand that a lot of people are making resolutions and turming over a new leaf in the new year, but as someone who is not a big fan of salads, it’s always a struggle for…

Ginger Carrot Muffins

In my mind, there are two kinds of muffins… Unfrosted cupcakes and muffins. You know what I’m talking about… There are those “muffins” that you find at bakeries and coffee shops that are not much different than a rich chocolate cupcake.  The difference is that they are usually larger than a cupcake and don’t have…

Rosemary Roasted Walnuts

Today’s recipe is one of my new favorites.  It’s not complicated, and it’s not that fancy. Instead, it’s one that can be made in just a few minutes… And, it makes for great snacking throughout the week. It all started before the holidays when I asked Amber if she had any good recipes for roasted nuts. …

Healthy Snacking (WFMW)

It’s February… How are those New Years Resolutions coming? Actually, I’m just joking. I didn’t make any resolutions this year. And, I’m a firm believer that you shouldn’t just wait until January to make small changes to your diet, life, or whatever else you feel needs improvement.  Next January is 11 months away! Instead of…

Nope, this isn’t grilled cheese! I know I promised you a grilled cheese recipe this week using the lovely sourdough bread that I shared on Monday. But, there’s been a slight change in plans. Instead, today I’m guest posting over at Bluebonnets & Brownies, and I wouldn’t want to distract you with grilled cheese and…

Arugula Salad with Roasted Beets and Carrots

I’ve been making a conscious effort to eat better lately. No crazy stuff… I’ve just been trying to eat more veggies and a little less of everything else. Moderation. Fortunately, this time of the year, there is such a plethora of fresh produce available that it’s really been quite easy to incorporate more veggies into…

Gazpacho

Last weekend, my husband and I watched the movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.  How’s that for a Monday morning blog post intro? It’s relevant, though… I promise! You see, we have a few friends who have done the whole “juicing” diet thing. Some have had good results, others have ended up not feeling so…

Healthy Snacks On the Go – LÄRABAR (WFMW)

2011-03-09_LARABAR2

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LÄRABAR for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. The next few weeks are going to be a bit crazy for me.  We’ve been meaning to get carpet in the upstairs of our house for a few years, and we’ve finally decided to just go…
