If you haven't guessed by now posting may a bit sporadic in the next month or two. I mentioned in my last post that we are expecting a new daughter in a month. Like always, I have lots of recipes waiting in the wings to be shared, but just not enough time in the day to share them. This is one that's been waiting for a while that I decided I wouldn't let wait any longer. It's so easy and so good and that makes it definitely one our family's favorites. I'm all about taking recipes that are already easy and making them healthier and easier. That's how this recipe was born and it's now my go-to recipe for a quick lasagna. Hope you enjoy! Easy Lasagna Printable Recipe *Serves 8-10 *Note: To make this recipe even easier, I like to make the homemade spaghetti sauce with quinoa ahead of time in a large batch and freeze a recipes worth in quart bags. I will also sometimes precook and freeze the ground beef so you can skip the browning step.  These shortcuts make ...

It's been ages since I've posted and I apologize for my negligence. It's been a crazy last month or so. To give you a quick update, I'm about six weeks away from delivering our third child. We've been busy getting things ready for this new little girl. (Yes, that's right! Our first girl. We couldn't be more thrilled.) On top of that we're finishing out the last couple of weeks of school with all the chaos that that brings. On top of that we've had lots of other family emergencies crop up and it's been quite the adventure trying to navigate all those. But here I am. For the time being. And happy to be posting a wonderful and amazing recipe with you that will save you big time if you're experiencing anything like the chaos that we are right now. This recipe is quick (less than 30 minutes from start to finish), light (perfect for spring or summer), and totally taste-bud-stunning delicious. It's fancy enough for a weekend, but easy enough for...

The weather is warming up and that means a perfect chance for grilling outside. Food always seems to taste better when cooked outside. We have a charcoal grill and a open flame barbecue pit that both take a little extra planning for a meal. But they make grilling a fun family affair. If I'm in a hurry, but still want to enjoy this recipe I sometimes make them under the broiler. I've included the broiling instructions below, It's wonderfully delicious. I've made this recipe several times since it's initial discovery and it's been delightful every time. We've cooked these over an open fire, on the grill and under a broiler. Each time with wonderful success and I'm completely in love with the flavors. Chipotle is a great flavor, not to mention how fun it is to say. Last time I made these I served them with this  Sweet and Savory Coconut Rice  made using Basmati rice. Oh my. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Comfort, soul food. So good. Enjoy. Grilled...

I've been on the lookout for a quick and easy (and healthy of course) French Bread recipe for many many years and I'm excited to tell you that I've found my dream recipe and it's fabulously easy and delicious. It comes together in just over an hour! That's right, I can hardly believe it myself. Most French Bread recipes I've tried take babying for several hours and frankly I just don't have that kind of time. I needed a recipe that was straight forward and easy and tasted amazing. Well here it is folks. Happy to share it with ya. One Hour French Bread Printable Recipe *Makes 3 loaves INGREDIENTS: 2-1/3 Cup water,  heated until quite warm ( >110° F)  *I put mine in the microwave for 2-3 minutes to heat it 2 Tbsp. sugar 1 Tbsp. real salt 1 Tbsp. coconut oil 2-3 Cups freshly ground whole white wheat flour 1 Tbsp. SAF instant yeast 3-4 Cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 egg DIRECTIONS: In a Bosch mixer with the dough hook add the heated water, sugar, salt, a...

Sometimes it's the simplest things that can change your life. Like popcorn. Seriously, who knew that popcorn could be so life changing, right? But believe me, it can be! Just finish reading this post and you'll find out how. I've posted about popcorn before. And even taught you a quick microwave method of cooking it that I use a lot...well used to use a lot. I honestly don't think I'll use it very often in the future because this new method of cooking popped in my life (hahaha) the other day. It's easy and wonderful and delicious. Wow. Hold on to your hats folks. Here it comes. The life changing method of cooking healthy popcorn. All you need is a large, heavy bottom pan with a good lid (mine is 5 quart). Make sure the lid fits tightly - you'll thank me for this later. Some coconut oil. Popcorn (of course). And salt (I use Real Salt or Himalayan salt). This one is Himalayan, that's why it's pink. Place the pan on a burner over medium high heat (thi...

Do recipes with lots of ingredients scare you? I hope not! Cause this one has a lot, but it's really not hard and it's worth every one of those delicious little ingredients. I adapted the recipe from one I found on  A Farm Girl's Dabbles   a few years ago. We've made it several times and we love it. This last time I perfected it to my liking by reducing the Italian sausage and adding the black-eyed peas. Yum. I mean double or triple yum. It totally rocks my socks (even though I really don't know what that means). I like to keep the pasta separate from the soup so the pasta stays a nice texture when you add it to the soup (otherwise it tends to just absorb and get soggy...ugh). Plus kids always seem to be happier when they see their bowls fill up with plain noodles first and then soup. Don't ask me why. It's a kid thing I guess. Don't leave out the cheesy topping. It's the best. I like to stir it in so the cheese gets all melty and delicious. Mmmh. I...
