This Hidden Greens smoothie is a great way to sneak some healthy greens into the diets of the picky eaters in your family. It's refreshingly sweet, slightly tart, and oh so tasty! You've probably seen smoothies with kale, spinach and other healthy greens and wondered if you could get your kids (or picky husband) to drink them. I've made green smoothies for my family in the past, and it seems whenever they turn green, my kids won't want to try them. They already know mommy threw some veggies in the mix. Green smoothies always taste delicious with Keep reading...

Easy Corn and Black Bean Salsa
One delicious recipe I've made multiple times since the first of the year is a super easy and very tasty homemade salsa. It's so much better than I could have ever imagined. After making my own salsa for the first time, theres no way I'm ever going back to store bought. This tastes so much better. As a family we're trying hard to be healthier. We've slipped quite a bit around the holidays with all the tasty food and delicious desserts, but as the New Year rolled in, we've been making it a point to eat healthy, more nutritious foods.

Ready To Bake Blueberry Muffins & Salted Butter Caramel Lava Cake
Life can be hectic. Lately, I've been so overwhelmed with so much to do and so little time. The Holidays are always the busiest time of the year and I feel that I just can't catch up with all I have to do. Anything that makes life simpler is a plus in my book. I was recently sent a few Ready To Bake products to try out. They are pre-packaged and ready to bake right out of the pouch. I was excited to give them a try as I expected them to make life so much easier.

Healthy Treats for the Holidays
I haven't been making the bestfood choices lately. I love food, and tend to eat a lot of it, especially when it's right in front of me! Desserts are my absolute weakness. When it comes to sweets, I just can't say, "No"! The Holidays seem to be a time when all we do is eat! From Thanksgiving, on through Christmas then New Year's. All the Holiday parties bring lots of food. Then, there's my husbands reasoning that we may as well eat all that we want now, and start fresh for the New Year. I wonder how many others make it their New Years Resolution to eat healthier? I do it every year, then Keep reading...

Carrot Cake Dehydrator Cookies

There's so much you can do with a food dehydrator, from making dried fruits to beef jerky and even potpourri!

I recently received the EZ-Store 5-Tray Turbo Dehydrator from Ronco and I can't wait to save some money by making my own healthy snacks. Did you know you can make cookies with a food dehydrator? Yes, you sure Keep reading...
Blueberry Banana Smoothie with Hemp Seeds
Smoothies are my go-to healthy treat when I want something sweet, but know I should stick with something healthy. I'll have them for breakfast (Try my Banana Peanut Butter and Oats Breakfast Smoothie), a mid-day snack, or even for lunch. I enjoy coming up with different flavor combinations. Some I'll try once, and never again, other concoctions turn into recipes I'll make over and over again. If my kids are happy, and ask for more, I know it's a keeper. Smoothies are a wonderful way to get picky eaters, like my 5 year old, to get some extra nutrients. I often add some frozen Keep reading...

Quick & Tasty Dinner With Progresso Chili + Giveaway
I swear, there's never enough time in a day to get everything done. It just seems like there's so much to do, with so little time! My day consists of getting up at the crack of dawn to get the kids ready for school. The oldest gets on the bus, while I drive my little one to preschool. It's a 30 minute drive one way, so there goes a big chunk of my morning. I get home, do some household chores and work on my blog. In between blogging, doing loads of laundry and picking up the never ending mess, my day flies by. As soon as I know it, it's time to pick the little one up Keep reading...
Cheesecake Brownie Bites
Desserts are my weakness. I have a major sweet tooth, and so does my family! I just don't understand how people can not have a sweet tooth. How can you not like sugary sweets? I'm that person at the buffet with a plate full of desserts while everyone else is still eating their dinner. Then, when their finished with their meal, they go and choose one dessert, yes just one, from the wide selection, while my plate is filled with one of each, and I'll go back for seconds! Maybe if I didn't have such a sweet tooth, I could start losing a few pounds. Having a craving for Keep reading...
Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
Bananas and peanut butter, yum! What a delicious combination. One of my favorite snacks is a frozen banana dipped in peanut butter. I decided to get a little creative yesterday and made a cookie out of one of my favorite flavor combinations. Not knowing how they'd turn out, I gave it a try, and I was pleasantly surprised. I came up with a really simple recipe using ingredients I had on hand. I had used up all of my flour, so these yummy cookies are flourless. Even without the flour, they turned out great. They were nice and chewy with a little crisp around the Keep reading...
