Creamless Summer Corn Chowder

I love summer soups, and corn chowder is definitely one of those! I was inspired years ago when I was working and would frequent Panera for my lunch breaks. They make a kick ass corn chowder that would only make an appearance during the summer months and I scoured the internet to find one that would taste just as good and I didn’t have to spend $5 on it every time I wanted some. Back then I was on a healthy kick, so I came across a cream-less version and it’s pretty damn awesome! Light, crispy and packed full of…

Meatless Friday’s: Mayo-less Tuna Salad

0
Posted by in July, Recipes

While visiting my sister-in-law in NY back in June, she introduced to me to one of the most delicious tuna salads I’ve ever had. AND it was mayo-less! I am all about the mayo-based salads, but this one really blew my mind. You can tell it was delicious because I haven’t been able to stop thinking about since my first bite and knew I had to try and re-create it. If you haven’t tried mayo-less tuna salad, please do yourself a favor and make this! It’s light, flavorful and the veggies add such a great crunchy texture. If I wasn’t…

Meatless Friday’s: Peach Cobbler

1
Posted by in June, Recipes

I have had the worst cravings for peach cobbler this past week. The funny thing is I’ve never even had peach cobbler before in my life! Sure, I could have easily gone to Publix and buy it frozen, but its not just not the same as homemade. I wanted authentic, southern-style peach cobbler because it looks so damn delicious on T.V. or in pics. I of course went to good old trusty-reliable Pinterest and hit the jackpot! I found probably the easiest and most delicious homemade recipe for peach cobbler. Since I have nothing to reference it by, this is…

Leftover Chicken? Make Some Chicken Parcels

I haven’t been inspired too much lately in the kitchen. Hate to admit it, but there have been a lot of soup & salad nights…and sometimes sans soup. Call it laziness, call it I’m pregnant AND lazy. The other night I splurged and went to good old Publix and grabbed a yummy rotisserie chicken. So what to do with all the left overs?? Chicken Pot Pie is always a nice fall back, but tonight I decided to step outside the box and make Parcels. What the hell is a parcel you may ask? A fancy word for a package. Cause…

Posted by in April, Recipes

I love Flatout Wraps. They make awesome wraps and even awesomer flatbread pizzas! And yes, I said awesomer. They take 10 minutes and you can get as creative as you like. Throw whatever you got in the fridge on top and I guarantee it will taste delish! I had a bunch of stuff in my fridge that was nearing its time before it starts growing fur and got a few ideas for dinner. Whether you are having some company, a girls night in, an after school snack or a light dinner – you must try! BBQ Flatbread Pizza 1 Flatout…

Healthy Happy Hour: A Quick Fruity Smoothie Recipe

Posted by in May, Recipes

So I’m fat. Yes, I know I’m pregnant and it comes with the territory. There is only one man on the planet that can call me fat (in a sense) without suffering the bitchy repercussions of my rage and that man is my OB. And by call me fat I mean yell at me for gaining too much weight over a months time. I will admit I haven’t been eating or drinking the healthiest but #2 seems to be craving sugar. Anything sugar, candy, sweets you name it, I’ve inhaled it. So its no surprise that for the past 2…

Meatless Friday’s: Leftover Baked Spaghetti

1
Posted by in April, Recipes

I am the worst at gauging how much spaghetti to make. I either make way too much or just enough for one bowl. No matter how much I try, I never seem to make the perfect amount. But the good part about it is leftovers! I usually make pasta fritatta, but this time I decided to try something different – Baked Spaghetti. I have been seeing a lot of recipes floating around online and of course Pinterest but I improvised with the ingredients I had in the house, tossed it all together and created a delicious baked pasta dish.  I’m…

Brunch: Baked Eggs

I love brunch. Brunching is the best. Waffles, eggs, pancakes, hash browns, mimosa’s, bloody Mary’s….Did I mention mimosa’s?? For Christmas we decided to have a brunch and served all the above as well as shrimp cocktail, stuffed mushrooms and baked eggs. It was a first for us to try them out, my husband and I both saw recipes for baked eggs and they looked so good. We decided to put our heads together and whip up some with some great ingredients. The prep was a bit tedious, depending on what you want in the baked eggs but so worth it!…

Meatless Friday’s: Veggie Quinoa Bake

0
Posted by in April, Recipes

It’s no secret I’m into experimenting with quinoa. A few weeks ago I had my veggie drawer filled with some produce that was nearing the end of its days and about a 1 cup of cooked quinoa in my fridge that I forgot about on the stove and it became extra mushy. I didn’t have the heart to throw it out. I thought about making quinoa balls, or my usually quiona ‘mac & cheese’ but then I remembered the veggies and thought about utilizing those bad boys. Enter the Veggie Quinoa Bake. Cheese-y, veggie-y, and oh so good! My husband…
