MMMM, Sliders. This recipe was kind of an experiment. I wanted to make sliders for my family to eat on a football game night. But I didn’t want a plain ole burger. I wanted more flavor. We love balsamic so I thought I’d give this a shot. I was worried the balsamic may cause the…

Chicken BLT Wrap
I am always searching for new and tasty things to make for lunch. I pack my daughter a lunch for school and often feel like I get in a rut with ingredients. She loves anything in a tortilla. Whole wheat tortillas have such a great flavor. We have grown to love them even more than the traditional ones. So I’ve been trying to find new things to wrap! This is one of my first tries. It’s a BLT Chicken wrap, because who doesn’t love bacon?
Spicy Sweet Potato Chips
January is football month in this house. We adore all things football. I am an alumna of Florida State University. Yes, the same ones that are the NATIONAL CHAMPIONS. I was just a little excited yesterday. So, watching all these bowl games got me thinking about what I would serve at this year’s Super Bowl shindig, now that we are eating clean. So I came up with a couple of recipes and tried them out this week. I started with this Spicy Sweet Potato Chip. They were a pleasant surprise.

Butternut Squash Pasta
Today I am snowed in. I am in Connecticut. It is cold out. Who decides to move to CT in the winter. This person. Not my brightest idea…. However, I will say…I love snow. It is so pretty. And I work from home, so it’s not like I actually have a leg to stand on when I complain. I have it pretty good. While all the other people (I am sorry guys) have to go out, dig out their cars, drive on the icy roads, and trudge through the snow…I get to sit inside, under my blanket, drink my coffee, and talk to you nice people. But still…I stand by my earlier statement…It’s cold out. I don’t know about you, but when I am cold I want pasta

Clean Eating Fondue
Looking for a fun and yummy way to celebrate New Year’s Eve with the family? Fondue is an easy and delicious way to share a meal. My husband and I love fondue. Like, really love it. We have a couple of fondue pots and we use them often. I honestly never thought about how healthy…
Clean Eating Chocolate Fondue
The chocolate fondue is as simple as melting some chocolate. We use our sterno (non-electric) fondue pot for the chocolate. It mimics a double boiler. The chocolate can be done in either. If you don’t have two fondue pots or don’t want to clean the one you use for the main course, simply melt…
Spicy Chipotle Bean Dip
Since New Year’s Eve is all about parties, I thought I would show give you an easy and delicious party dip. And I mean….who doesn’t love dip? It really is the perfect party food. It is easy to eat, fun, and great for a crowd. Here is a simple and quick version of white bean dip.This bean dip gets a Southwest twist with the addition of chipotle peppers, chili powder, and even a pinch of cayenne. It is easy to make and ready in less than 10 minutes. I soaked and cooked the white bean myself, but if you prefer you could use a low sodium canned variety. I also toasted a little whole wheat bread to serve the dip, but tortilla chips or pits would work great also!
Heirloom Yellow Eyed Peas – A “New” New Year’s Day Tradition
The last few years my family has started out the new year by eating black eyed peas. I found these beautiful yellow eyed peas at the farm market. The owner says they are in the same family but have a smoother taste and greater depth of flavor. They are considered an heirloom bean. You may know that black eyed peas are often served on New Year’s Day because its thought they bring good luck. However, yellow eyed peas are thought to bring not just luck, but luck in the form of GOLD. So, I am going with it! ‘Cause I could really use some gold right about now!
