Salad in a Jar
Who buys lettuce and then it goes bad because you never have TIME to prepare a simple salad during the day? I know I have had that happen many times. I love salads, but finding time to put it together is hard with my busy, always changing schedule with three kids. Preparing meals ahead of…
Spinach, bacon and quinoa power bites
I found this recipe awhile back and cannot remember where. I used it as my pre workout meal to fuel me with energy for my workout. It worked and they were delicious!!! The serving size is 3 power bites, so pretty good size meal and really easy to make. There are just two things you…
Taco Veggie Bowl
This is a meal that I threw together one day because it was getting late, I didn’t want a lot of clean up and it was stuff I had on hand. It has now become one of our favorite meals!! Super easy, quick and pretty healthy with all the veggies. If you have a Trader…

Homemade Elderberry Syrup
Who has heard of elderberry syrup? I kept reading about how good it was for boosting your immune system and how it can shorten the length of a cold by 3 days. I started to buy it at my local health food store a few years ago and would take it and give it to…
Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
This is a great meal but I maybe only make it when peppers are in season because it does take a bit of time to make. It is so worth it though and the kids are coming around to this dish. They personally like the peppers to be raw, so I put a few on…
Turkey Noodle Soup
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Did you save those turkey bones?? I hope so, because we will be using the bones and the leftover turkey to make this flavorful soup using some seasonal Fall leeks! I make this during the year using whole chickens. You can find that recipe here. So first thing is to make sure…
