Many people call me crazy when it comes to food. Sorry folks, in this case when it comes to triathlete nutrition, I am the sane one. My husband is the one that trains 2-4 hours or sometimes even 6 hours a day. He is the one that dawns spandex and swims, bikes, and runs for 11 hours for a race. Me, I prefer to throw…

I really love when I can get dinner done in 30 minutes, but added bonuses are healthy, real food AND limited dishes… When I am preparing one of my 30 minute healthy dinners, I spend the first 3 minutes pulling together all of the ingredients. Here is what you will need for dinner for 2, so double as needed to make for more… You’ll need……

Well, I’ve kind of gone over my 30 Minute Healthy Dinners promise. This recipe actually takes 35 minutes, if you include the 5 minutes it took me in the morning to make the marinade and throw the steak in. You can even get this done while you’re making breakfast. But, if you really can’t get do this step, flank steak is equally yummy just grilled…

No matter how much I love to cook or how much time I have, it always seems that there are those days I just want to be done making dinner or not do it all! So, I decided I am letting go of my crazy food rules a bit this year and gave myself a challenge of getting a complete dinner done in 30 minutes…

I am a cook and a darn good one! I keep an all organic house and most foods are real. Granted, I admit here and there little things slip in…But, I know food. I was raised in a kitchen and my mother is a chef. I read cookbooks and food resources as if they are novels and text books; then, I write my own rules…

We are so excited to share a seasonal muffin recipe with you that you can make year round from our friend, Janelle Shank, at Bakes in Slippers. Janelle went to culinary school and graduated with her baking and pastry certificate, quickly realizing that everyday baking wasn’t for her. Soon, an interest in recipe development, food photography, and food writing lead to the decision to start…

One of my favorite cuisines is Mexican, but I very seldom get to have it. My husband can’t have tomatoes and peppers, so that pretty much restricts most items on the menu… And, while I can, I probably shouldn’t….But, once in a while I make a dish that we both can have and I just love – Butternut Squash & Corn Enchiladas. It’s definitely a…

With the weather starting to turn fall-like, I started thinking about different dinners to begin serving in my house. It’s actually the first time it’s just David and I, so I’ll either have to plan different recipes or reduce portion sizes in the ones I have. This one is one of my Moms and I love it! SHEPHERD’S PIE Preheat Oven to 350. Serves 4-6…

Getting Fit at 46 while my trihubby gets back into training has been very interesting…He started with a new coach and a nutritionist, which means I also have a new nutritionist. But, that’s a whole other good story that I will share later. The story behind this post is that a friend asked how dinner was going with David’s needs and my needs, so I…

I love to hear the back stories of products. When I heard the Maddy and Alex story, I got very intrigued and had to try their products. As undergrads at the University of Denver, they decided to start a health food company, because they believe that everyone should have access to healthy food. While they wanted to have great products, they also wanted to make…

Sometimes recipes can be “oh, so easy” and way delicious! These Easiest Scones Ever are my “go to” recipe for an after school snack, when friends show up, to serve with afternoon tea – no clotted cream for me – or just to have around the house on weekends. I use organic ingredients, but that’s my choice. I usually put strawberries on top or whatever…

When it comes to comfort food and real food, my mom takes the prize hands down. Not only is she a great cook because she’s my mom, but she just also happens to be a professional chef. This recipe for baked cod with fragrant vegetables, made with fennel, onions, cabbage, and potatoes, is one of my twins’ favorites. They always ask for it when…
