One of the most common question we hear from people who are trying to start a clean eating lifestyle is what food should you always have on hand to ensure it is easy to cook clean. After some thought and discussion, Sara and I have compiled a list of 20 Clean Eating Grocery Staples. If…
Recipes
Stuffed Pepper Soup
This recipe is one I made up after having a similar soup at a friend house last year. I was never really a green pepper fan. I mean, I ate them because I should, they have so much vitamin C. But this soup completely made me a pepper convert! I’ve made it a couple of…
Spicy Honey Roasted Chickpeas
Since finding interesting and delicious clean eating snacks can be a problem sometimes, I wanted to create a recipe that would be inexpensive, simple, and satisfying. The result…Spicy Honey Roasted Chickpeas! They are simple to make. Just combine a bunch of spices you probably already have in your cabinet, add the chickpeas and stir. Toss them in the oven for about 30 minutes and you are good to go! They have just enough heat to get your attention without burning your taste buds off. But I will warn you…be careful…these little guys are addictive!
Herbed Sweet Potato Hash
Yum This is has become one of my go-to breakfast recipes. We eat it all the time in our house. Breakfast, dinner, snack…whenever I have some sweet potatoes around, I make this! I added this recipe to my repertoire when we recently cut white potatoes out of our diet. We used to eat white potatoes…

Spicy Tomato Garlic Mussels
The hubby loves all things seafood. So for his Valentine’s Day gift this year I decided to make him a delicious meal of mussels. I don’t have a lot of experience with them so I tested the recipe a few times before perfecting it enough to serve. From the research I did, mussels are complete…
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
I was looking for something fun for Valentine’s Day this year. Because let’s face it, once you have kids, its no longer just about you and your sweetie. My daughter loves chocolate and strawberries, so I thought it was the perfect kitchen activities for us. But, as I was making these I kept thinking how fun it would be to make this with my hubby. I mean I had chocolate ALL over. It would have been fun to have someone there to help me lick it off. (Ha, sorry trying to get in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, and after 7 years of marriage you have to take what you can get.)
What We Won’t Be Watching Tonight
This week you will probably see a lot of Olympic themed recipes. Sara and I had intended to post one, but developments over the last couple of days changed out mind. Here is why: If you are a regular reader of this blog you know Sara and I are animal lovers. Especially dogs (We have…
Asparagus and Goat Cheese Frittata
It’s snowing…again. So far we have had 15 inches in 2 days. What is the best part you ask? They are saying this is just an “appetizer” for what is to come…yay winter! Okay, now that I got that off my chest, let’s get back to something fun…Valentine’s Day! Today we are talking about breakfast…
Mocha Cupcakes with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting
So it’s finally here…February. What does that mean you ask? Well…it means it’s the coldest month of the year. In Connecticut…it means that as I am writing this we are getting 8 inches of snow and in a couple of hours I will have to go outside and dig out my car. It also means the fun sporting events like the Super Bowl and the 2014 Winter Olympics. There is one other thing February means…Valentines Day!
Now for me I could take or leave all the romantic stuff about Valentines Day. Don’t get me wrong, that stuff is great. But at the end of the day, isn’t the best part the food??? Breakfast in bed, lots of chocolate, fancy dinners…it is a food lovers dream.
