Look, I know it sounds a little weird, but go with me on this for a minute. This is one of my favorite soups of all time. I first discovered it 13 years ago and back then, EVERYONE I mentioned it to would grimace and look at me like I was crazy… until I forced...

Ummm, hellloooooo! I’ve had this cheesecake recipe up my sleeve for a few months and completely forgot about it until you all reminded me that I teased you about it and never followed through. How could I forget about this delicious dessert? It’s...

I am a true chocolate lover and I especially love dark chocolate. A while back I was in such a good place with my eating habits that ice cream and other sugary treats–and any processed food, really–very rarely tempted me, and when I did have a bite I was...

I’m so happy to be back to feeling normal after having my sweet little princess. Plus, Spring is here and I’ve got the fever. BAD. For me, that means shopping for happy, colorful clothes, usually a new haircut, and of course a strong desire to create some...

One of the biggest hurdles in quitting fast food for good is that it’s just so convenient. We are all running every-which-way and barely have time to shave more than one leg in the shower, let alone spend hours in the kitchen every day. Luckily, there is such a...

I added my personal tweak to this amazing Zucchini soup recipe several months ago and it has since become a favorite of mine. I love that I can throw it together in about 15 minutes and it’s ready to eat. I also love that the kids will eat it (even if they...

No doubt this is the #1 favorite meal for most kids nowadays. Too bad it’s one of the most processed, chemical-filled junk foods we could be giving our kids. I was once excited to see an organic brand of mac and cheese, but a quick flip-over of the box had me...

Before I give you this pear salad recipe, let me just say one little bit about salads in general. They’ve become much more popular the last several years because of the trend in sweetening things up with fruit, candied nuts, and super sugary dressing. But this...

I love this green chile crock-pot chicken recipe because it’s so incredibly easy and versatile, and it takes 5-10 minutes to throw together and leave it to cook. If you have picky eaters in your family, or if Mom is on a diet and Dad and kids aren’t, this...
