Cow Crumbs

Beets Broccoli Salmon Salad

I think in another life I may have been a little Italian momma because I have this need and want to feed everyone around me all the time, and not to toot my own horn but besides the pancake epidemic there has never been an instance where they had that look on their face that says:…

Mmmmmmmmuffins

When I go on vacation what I’m going to eat on a day-to-day basis comes into play BIG time. But years ago when the word allergy wasn’t apart of my regular vocabulary I would have cared less if you dropped me in the middle of a giant wheat field with a fork. And this vacation…

Everything but the Kitchen Sink Cookie

Sometimes in life we crave things that we can’t have, and lately I find in the evening right around 8ish, I want cookies and I want them NOW! You’d think I’d be more prepared for snack attacks with my reserves kept in the freezer, but what I’m really craving I have yet to master. Because I’m craving cookie that I…

Twice Baked

One thing that I love to do with food is find ways to switch it up and keep it new and interesting, like before the spiralizer I never would have thought that one day I would be eating my zucchini in the shape of a noodle. But sometimes we don’t want to “noodle” our vegetables…

No Noodle Thai Chicken Stir-fry

I think a friend of mine said it best the other day when she called me on the phone and the first thing out of her mouth was $@&%*!# winter!!! I love snow as much as the next guy, like on that first snowfall there’s just something about it, it just brings joy to your core….

Sauerkraut = Superfoods

I love when the word “superfoods” hits the health scene and no matter what it is everyone just jumps on the bandwagon. It doesn’t matter what it tastes like or what the texture is, you eat it and you like it. Then you tell everyone about how much you eat it and how much you…

Zucchini Fritters

In all of my years of experimenting with food I have never met a pancake I didn’t like. There is just something about them, smothered with syrup and butter. YUM!!! But then gluten free went and screwed me, GF pancakes back when I found out about my allergy was a bit of a challenge. You…

Black Bean Burgers with Spicy Brussels

This time of year everyone starts thinking about what they want to change, things they want to give up or improve, maybe a second go at failed resolutions from last year??? Quit smoking Pay off debt De-stress Drink less But 100% the number one thing I hear MOST is that people want to get in…

Maple Cinnamon Granola

When it comes to breakfast it’s pretty much a no brainer… Smoothie with Sunwarrior Protein Powder. The chocolate is my jam and I usually enjoy one of these with a handful of nuts or seeds on the side. But what’s in these breakfast drink concoctions you ask??? Well let me tell you… I have three that…

Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies

Christmas always means treats lurking at every corner, cookies, cakes, squares and pies. It’s like all of a sudden everyone wants to get fat and they want you to come along for the ride. So being the health nut that I am, I “try” to make my go to dessert options with a cow crumbs…

Forbidden Rice Salad

I’ve had some pretty interesting jobs to date, some would call it a bit of an eclectic mix, but I call it a buffet of fun. Started out as a babysitter first, but then when I was ready to be a working gal my first “real” job was mall guide extraordinaire, yep that’s right, the…

The Mediterranean Taco

You know how some people excel in certain talents, how does that happens??? How do we all of a sudden become good at something? Are we born with some sort of showoff gene that’s waiting in the wings to impress the pants off everyone around us? Take my sister for example, she honestly makes Martha…
