Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cupcakes. {dairy free}

  These are the easiest and one of the healthiest ways of enjoying one of summer’s most treasured treats… ice cream!  BUT, these are healthier, dairy-free, and packed with so much protein!  Three ingredients.  Takes only about 2 minutes to make – the worst part is waiting for them to freeze!

Homemade roasted tomato garlic pizza sauce.

It’s our little family tradition.  Friday nights are normally laid back, time to regroup and have pizza together, watch a movie and spend some time letting the craziness of the week go.  Decompression is good!  Now that summer is here, we’ve moved our pizza-making outdoor to the grill.  I really despise canned tomatoes, there are … Continue Reading »

Healthy Corn Chowder.

  Tuesdays are my farmer’s market day.  I gain inspiration there and when I saw stacks and stacks of Florida corn on the cob… I knew I had to whip up this soup.  Perfect for a rainy afternoon.  Filling after a long swim practice for my girls.  Filled with protein and fiber.  All good!  Plus … Continue Reading »

Roasted Golden Beets.

  Now I’ve written this before in my other “beet” post but I’ve always been apprehensive of the beet.  I’ve since grown quite fond of them and truly adore the rare golden beet.  I found one organic stand at my Farmer’s Market and almost tripped over myself to grab what he had in stock.  A … Continue Reading »

Oatmeal Fiber Energy Balls.

I think I could survive on energy balls.  Any recipe… whatever the flavor.  I heart them all.  Hey, we all have our thing, right?  I bought some fiber cereal at the grocery store and thought I would whip up a few recipes using the cereal. The fact is, we all need fiber to keep things … Continue Reading »

Roasted Red Pepper & Garlic Hummus.

This week I took a foray into baking up pitas.  I have to admit, I knew hummus would come along shortly after.  I mean seriously, how can you eat pitas without it?!  Ha ha.  Well my family gobbled up the first batch of pitas so I’m whipping up another batch.  Click here for that recipe. … Continue Reading »
