Summer is here, YEAH, which means crisps are made weekly at my house for dessert! And my new favorite is a strawberry rhubarb crisp. You see, I love fresh local food, so which crisp I make depends on what I find in season at the Farmer’s Markets. This week, I found gorgeous strawberries and rhubarb, so I will make a Strawberry Rhubarb crisp. But, in a…

When making dinner the other night, I was 10 minutes from getting it on the table when my daughter asked, “Can we have biscuits and honey?” Who am I to say no, but since I didn’t want to leave the kitchen and go to the store, I decided to use what I had on hand and make my own biscuits. So, I just started yelling…

We had plans to head out for dinner over the weekend, but hubby’s bike ride ran longer due to a Computrainer issue. So, he nicely asked if I mind staying in….Well, what could I say. He did ask nicely. So, I pulled a pound of shrimp out of the freezer to defrost, cancelled our plans, and prepared one of my 30 Minute Healthy Dinners recipes…

When it comes to feeding my triathlete, I’m always trying to come up with meals and snacks that meet all of his needs and mine, too. They have to be tasty, nutritious, relatively easy to make, and made with as much real food as possible. We both happen to love Nuttzo, which is a medley of 7 nuts and seeds, organic of course. So,…

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…

I’ve really gotten into making a variety of quinoa dishes lately. Being vegetarian, it really works well for me and can be used in a variety of ways. I tried this salad the other night and have to say it was a huge hit. My husband finished it off and actually asked that I make an extra batch for him to take for lunch, the…

What says summer dining more than a fresh salad? It’s light, healthy, and filling. We just happen to love kale, which is considered one of the healthiest vegetables around. It works really well for the vegetarians/vegans in the family, as it’s high in protein and vitamins A & C. You can buy kale these days in ready prepared bags, but we still prefer fresh and…

Happy National Fettuccine Alfredo Day! Yes, we were surprised too. Hey, any reason to celebrate and cook – in my book. But, since traditional alfredo sauce is way too heavy for my family, especially my trihubby, I make a vegan version. While you gotta love anything made with cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese, it can be a bit heavy to say the least. Plus, this…

This White Bean and Escarole Soup Recipe is hearty and easy! It’s the perfect way to warm up on those cold fall and winter days. You can’t beat soup at this time of the year or really, all year round for that matter. I like it because it’s easy to prepare; a meal in a bowl; and generally very healthy. I really had not tried…
Continue readingThis time of year, we tend to go to potluck after p0tluck. It’s a great way to get the triclub or your triathlete’s training partners together at the end of the season and catch up with old friends and meet the new members. There’s also no rule that you can’t mix it up and include non tri-related guests. I’m sure you’ll find a few topics…
