Berry Banana Coconut Popsicles.

The holiday weekend is upon us and that means one thing – SUMMER is here! Now regrettably, our weather in PA will not be reflective of this season change but it’s all good. I know, as I sit here typing with the a/c on, the heat will arrive again and sweating will commence. … Continue Reading »

Chimichurri.

Chimichurri is a South American version of pesto that is served atop or along side meat and veggies. I’m planning on grilling up a ton of fresh veggies from the farmer’s market and I thought this would be perfection for a vegetarian dish. I will, however, grill up some chicken for my favorite carnivores to … Continue Reading »

Cookie Butter Chobani Banana Bread.

I always have a lot of bananas on hand. I eat several a day. But by the time Monday rolls around, I’m feverishly cleaning out my fruits and veggies to prepare for my Farmer’s Market trip tomorrow morning.

Pesto egg a la baguette.

This is such an oldie but goodie recipe and I haven’t made it in about a year. My family loves it for dinner and then for breakfast the next morning. I added some leftover kale pistachio pesto (from last week) into the eggs – click here for that recipe and this was over the … 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.

Spring is upon us and I have warm weather on the brain. Yesterday I thought I would surprise my girls with a fresh batch of homemade strawberry lemonade and they loved it. My husband even turned it into cocktails for the evening by adding a shot of vodka and some fresh basil to a … Continue Reading »

Kale, Spinach & Pistachio Pesto.

Huge, I mean HUGE fans of pesto in my house. It is also a very easy way to get everyone to eat their veggies without a battle (this is a good thing coming from mom). Pesto is so good on pasta, eggs, fish, chicken, on pizza crust – the options are endless. It can be … Continue Reading »

Green Oatmeal Smoothie. {that will actually fill you up and energize you}

I love the concept of smoothies and juicing but the fact remains… they never EVER keep me filled more than an hour. I have a huge appetite. I’ve recently lost 27 lbs and really keep a watchful eye on what and how I eat. It has greatly impacted my body. After recently having a discussion … Continue Reading »

Vegetable Orzo Salad with a Chobani Basil Dressing.

This was one of those recipes that purely came to mind while I was meandering through the farmer’s market on Tuesday. The freshness of all of the spring vegetables inspired me. I was beyond thrilled to find some golden beets, that are incredible if you get a chance to buy or taste them. And … Continue Reading »
