Tips For Eating and Living Well
This easy Ethiopian Sweet Potato Stew came from my desire to have dinner cooking in my crock pot while I worked on other things around the house, kept my 3-year-old alive and entertained, and tested other recipes for the blog. The result was too good not to share! Even Picky Husband gave it two thumbs up! 🙂 …
It’s Friday, the Super Bowl is in two days, and all I want to do is eat this creamy white bean chili for every meal until I run out. Then I will make more. It’s that good….
It’s January, it’s cold, and I’m trying to be extra healthy in the wake of my holiday diet indiscretions, so all I really want to eat is nutritious soups. And since I was stuck in the house most of last weekend due to a snow storm, I had ample time to create this simple and satisfying Lemony Lentil Stew!…
As a mom, I totally understand the need for expedience in the kitchen. I’d love to say my family lives off of homemade casseroles and fancy dishes, but I’m a real human being who, believe it or not, does not live in the kitchen. Regardless, feeding my family well is still a high priority, so getting takeout can’t always be my go-to option. Solution? Quick, nutritious soups that even my toddler will eat! Last week I posted my 10-Minute Roasted Tomato Soup, and this week it’s a 10-Minute Cream of Mushroom Soup. Mmmmmm . . . …
Happy fall, everyone!
As I mentioned in my last post, it’s time for me to return to posting soup recipes since the weather will be turning cold soon. And just to ease you into making soup again, I decided to start with a super quick, super easy roasted tomato soup that tastes like it took an hour to make!…
Happy Friday! To make sure you have a great weekend, I’m sharing this awesome Mexican tortilla soup recipe that would be a perfect football-watching meal! You’re welcome 🙂 …
Happy New Year!!! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and are ready for a new year of healthy choices 🙂
Trying to make better food choices this year? I suggest checking out last year’s post, How to Pack a Lunch For Work, for some healthy lunch ideas.
If you’re new to eating a plant-based diet, or if you’re someone who likes flavor but doesn’t want to spend hours in the kitchen making dinner, I highly recommend you try this Moroccan lentil stew! …
With only 10 days until it’s officially winter, I’m all about soups. They’re relatively simple to make, are hot, filling, and — as long as you don’t add cream, oil, or a ridiculous amount of salt — great for your waistline….
Last week I decided to change up my usual soup routine and come up with a nutrient-packed, low-calorie soup recipe that I can make over and over again and love every time.
Well . . . mission accomplished!
This Tuscan bean and kale soup is a delicious combination of cannellini beans, kale, sun-dried tomatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and a blend of flavorful herbs. And like most soup recipes, it’s easy to make and tastes great as leftovers! …
Although I spend most of the winter missing summer vegetables, there is one winter squash that excites me every time I see it in the grocery store — the kabocha squash. This is perhaps the most underrated squash because it’s not in nearly as many recipes as butternut squash, yet it is so much better. …
Whenever my husband gets a cold, he gives me his sad puppy-dog face and asks if I can make him some “sick soup.” Apparently, when he was little, his mother made him “sick soup” when he stayed home from school. He later found out that this soup was nothing more than hot water and a chicken boullion cube. …
It’s officially six days until the Super Bowl, and whether or not you care about watching football, chances are that you’re expected to come up with some delicious snacks to munch on during the game. And although it’s easy to order a pizza or melt some Velveeta and open a bag of Doritos, those options are hardly low calorie or nutritious.
Why not make something that’s fun to eat, but won’t make you feel terrible by halftime?…
