Salad bowls, of some sort are usually a weekly staple in our house. The reason I love salad bowls so much is that all members of the family can pick what they like, pile in on a plate or all together in a bowl.

I have been focusing on easy meals that can be used for multiple dinners or used for lunches, and withstand the leftover test. The best are ones that can be changed with one or two ingredients and used for a second nights dinner or lunch and you don’t feel like you are eating the same thing over, and over, and… Read More

It is very hard to me to get the results I like from a crockpot because I feel like you loose all control over the the ingredients and can’t adjust the seasoning as you cook.

Talk about putting myself under a little pressure. However sometimes pressure can be a good thing to commit. It is actually a good time because my husband has much more time… Read More

Looking to use up your last bit of oranges for the season? As a child I have very fond memories of going to the mall with my mom to get an Orange Julius. I am sure that a classic Orange Julius is loaded with sugar and who knows what else. This recipe has it all, protein, great fat from… Read More
