I’ve always been a huge fan of sushi, but I’ve never actually tried making it at home. It just seems like a lot of work. Who has time for that on a week day? But when we did the Meal Kit Review Series a couple months ago, one of the recipes was for a DIY tuna […]
A friend reached out to me recently with a blog request. She told me that she felt like she was “failing the pantry and freezer game.” She wants to cook more, but is quite busy. She thought perhaps if she had more things on hand in her pantry and freezer that she could just throw together in […]
It seems like there’s been a lot of haters discussing the topic of New Year’s Resolutions this year. “Just be healthier all year,” they say. “Don’t go on a diet, adopt a lifestyle change forever instead!” And while they may have good intentions, I tend to think these platitudes overlook the difficulty in creating real […]
We’ve just finished our 4th annual New Years Day brunch party, a great excuse for us to kick off the year surrounded by family and friends and of course, lots of festive beverages. Over the years, we’ve perfected our brunch-hosting skills, and have come up with three main tips for hosting a brunch that’ll leave […]
It’s no secret that the hubby and I travel…A LOT. And one question I get asked often is “How do you manage to get all that time off work? Do you guys have unlimited vacation days, or what?” Well the answer is no, neither of us have jobs that afford us with unlimited vacation days. […]
A friend of mine came over for lunch recently, and was shocked when I mentioned the tomatoes we were enjoying had come from my garden. “But how?” she wondered. “Our first freeze was over a month ago! How can you possibly still have fresh, ripe tomatoes this time of year?” Well, the answer is that […]
When you hear the sizzling griddle approach your table in the restaurant, it’s almost impossible to stop your mouth from watering. It means your delicious plate of fajitas – tender grilled meat, carmelized onions, fresh salsa – is but a few minutes away. But lately, I’ve taken to making fajitas at home on the weekends, […]
Starting our second week of healthy dinners for 2015 is an old favorite made more health conscious: red curry. With just a few simple substitutions, this flavorful dish can easily be under 400 calories a serving, with low net carb as well. Ingredients: 1/2 lb of large white shrimp (should be about 15 or so; […]
Ready for another 400-calories-or-less, tasty, filling dinner? Dinner #5 in our 15 Healthy Dinners series is ground pork lettuce wraps and the husband actually occasionally requests this meal on his own accord! Ingredients: 1 lb ground pork 1 head butter lettuce or romaine lettuce 1/4 cub hoisin sauce 2 tbsp soy sauce 2 green onion, […]
Seeing as how the hubby wasn’t a huge fan of yesterday’s zoodles, I figured I’d make him something a little more hearty for tonight’s 15 Healthy Dinners meal. So today, I served up Southwestern Stuffed Portabellas – mushrooms stuffed with beans, rice, and mexican flavors. These tasty little numbers aren’t the most photogenic meal I’ve […]
