I'm still continuing trying to eat healthier and eliminating processed foods. This recipe is fairly healthy - I used fat free cream cheese and sour cream. It's still nice and creamy and tastes great as a leftover too! It very similiar to Hamburger Helper, but uses ground turkey instead. 1.25 lbs ground turkey1/2 onion, chopped8… Continue reading Creamy Taco Mac
It's once again been really hot here and I'm trying to use up the rest of my ripe tomatoes before the bugs get them. I've had a really good crop earlier this summer, but now the minute my tomatoes ripen they are being attacked by bugs. So frustrating! Anyways, this salad was really good, light… Continue reading Fattoush – Pita Bread Salad
I love granola. I haven't made it in a long time, but now that I'm trying to figure out more ways to eat healthier and more local, I thought it would be a great addition into our household.

We love ordering shrimp fried rice when we order take out from our favorite Chinese restaurant. I wanted to make it healthier since I know how salty and bad for you fried rice can be. This was a fairly quick and easy recipe and would be good for a weeknight when you're pulled every which way.2… Continue reading Shrimp and Pineapple Fried Rice
I'm not ready to leave summer behind but I'm so in the mood for some comfort food! I had originally planned to make this meatless, but decided to throw a little bacon top for some crunch. My husband and I liked it, but no luck with my daughter. I guess she's allowed to be picky… Continue reading Summer Squash & Corn Chowder

Now that my business trip and vacation are over, it's time to get back into a routine - meal planning, meatless mondays and working out! It all started yesterday.

I've been experimenting with different recipes using lemon and this is another keeper. It's a little different than the other lemon cookies I make, but they're just as good. They have a light butter lemon taste. My husband says they taste like shortbread cookies, but they're super soft! 1 cup butter, softened1½ cup powdered sugar1… Continue reading Lemon Butter Cookies

I was away earlier this week in Fort Lauderdale for business, hence the lack of posts and the fact that my daughter and husband ate grilled cheese sandwiches and tuna fish sandwiches all week! I had a lot of miscellanous baking supplies around from my little biscotti baking business and needed to use them before… Continue reading Coconut White Chocolate Pecan Cookies
