01 Feb Buddha Stir Fry
It's still January, and it's been pretty cold and rainy. Not as cold as it can get in other parts of the country, but for this area... it's our version of winter. With it being so gray and overcast (which I love, for what it's worth), sometimes I just crave a bright and vibrant meal, filled with fresh flavors and bursting with color. This recipe is a go to for me for just those moments.19 Jan Vegetable Coconut Curry in a Slow Cooker
Hey guys! Do you ever feel like you just can't get it together? Yeah, I am definitely having one of those weeks. My back brace finally came off last week, and the doc told me to slowly get back at my normal activities, which I obviously translated to "do all the things". I'm learning the difference between uncomfortable and stop doing that, sometimes backing off a bit is required so that you can progress deeper into life. With 2 back surgeries within 9 months, I am developing my new normal. *sigh* Meanwhile, in my kitchen, I am excited to finally be able to share this recipe with you. My husband is not an adventurous eater; if he can't identify it, hasn't eaten it before, he is very hesitant to step out of his food box. I am the exact opposite; I will literally try just about anything and with a few exceptions, I like every thing I try. Indian food has always been a favorite, but not something the hubby has been willing to try.21 Dec Black bean Soup

Friday night fish fry was always a thing growing up, but these days I try to avoid anything fried. This recipe is a healthier, low fat version of fish and chips. The chips are crispy and the fish is still breaded, but they are oven...
11 Oct Lighter Cabbage Roll Soup
Monday was Canadian Thanksgiving, and being that I am married to Canadian immigrant, we do a pseudo-celebration of the holiday and I whip up the most Canadian foods I know, pirogies. Those little pasta pillows filled with potatoes and onion, and topped with sour cream,...
05 Oct Burrito Bowls with Roasted Butternut Squash
Doing research for this week's blog about the three big types of cholesterol inspired me to create this vegetarian burrito bowl. And of course with the arrival of fall, butternut squash is back in season and I love butternut squash! With 18 grams of fiber,...

We're coming into fall finally!! For us in Arizona, that means temperatures are finally under 100, and we're able to take our workouts outside without fear of spontaneously combusting! I feel like fall and winter are busy times for most families: school is back in...
