Hi friends! I am excited to participate in Recipe Redux for the first time, a recipe challenge group founded by Registered Dietitians. What happens here is a group of bloggers (aka “the recipe redux members”) create a recipe each month using an assigned theme. It’s all about reinventing healthy eating. I always enjoy seeing the creativity that…
Grilled Cheese with Pesto and Tomato
Cheesey, buttery, white bread, grilled cheese. That’s how I remember eating them as a kid. Not exactly a health food, and they aren’t the easiest to light-up with the exception of reducing the amount of butter and cheese used and throwing in some veggies (or fruit) like this tomato! Although I love a good grilled…
Apple Pico de Gallo {#YahooFood}
When I was in graduate school I became friends with a fellow RD intern whose parents lived in Cabo San Lucas. She invited me and another one of our classmates to go hang out there one summer. I fell in love. Not only is it gorgeous, but the local fruit stands, taco shops…
Kitchen Memories: Make-Ahead Breakfast Casserole
Food is a wonderful way to express love. Whether it’s having company over or cooking for loved ones, it’s meaningful to serve something homemade. It’s even more meaningful when you get to cook with the ones you love, like family. This breakfast casserole reminds me of family. There are multiple occasions where I remember my…
Egg Stuffed Baked Potato
Hi friends! I can’t believe it’s Friday. Truly, this week flew by. Allergies. Illness. Sleepless nights. That pretty much sums up my week! My lil’ guy caught a cold, not a big deal, but that caused him to wake several times for several nights. Little baby E had her 4 month check up and did…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Energy Balls {Vegan, Gluten Free}
The world of blogging really jumped on the energy bite/ball bandwagon. I am pretty sure you’d be hard-pressed to find a food blogger without one on their blog. And for good reason. They’re the perfect snack. I started making them over 6 years ago when I wanted snacks to have on hand while I was…
Roasted Salmon with Leeks
Do you ever watch the show Chopped? I went into labor with my third child watching that show. My weekly CSA is much like opening the mystery basket. I don’t pay much attention to the emails they send of what’s being delivered so it’s always a fun surprise. I like to challenge myself to come…
Hasselback Potatoes with Garlic and Herbs
Hi friends! I ended up with a short blogging week last week because my mother-in-law was visiting. You would think I would get more done with family in town but I prefer to take the time off rather than hide out in my office trying to catch up. It was great having her, but now…
Mini Cherry Cheesecake Bites
As magical as pregnancy can be, I am just about ready for this one to be over- 38 weeks, tired, uncomfortable and in need of a good workout (and a good glass of wine!). I am not even that excited about Holiday eating because there isn’t much room in my belly for it. What I…
Thanksgiving Leftover Potato Pancakes
Hi friends! Just stopping by quickly to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a relaxing long weekend (hopefully most of you don’t have to work) and eat lots of yummy food. I also wanted to share a recipe that you can use with your leftovers on Friday. Great for breakfast, lunch…
