Hearts of Palm Tater Tots

Hearts of Palm Tater Tots
I am all about the tot life.  If it is on the menu, I will always get it.  If. I don’t see it on the menu, I ask anyway because you just never know! Whenever there is a holiday I rarely do a meal plan that week because I know there will always be leftovers.  Jacob has been making his way through the leftover ribs,...

Cottage Cheese Biscuits

Cottage Cheese Biscuits
These cottage cheese biscuits are so good. Don’t you hate it when you think you want to make something and then realize you are missing an ingredient?  I started to make biscuits yesterday morning and had no milk of any kind.  No almond milk, skim, etc.  You know what I had?  Hazelnut Nutpods!  Cottage cheese is healthy! As soon as I grabbed the nutpods out...

Zucchini Gratin

Zucchini Gratin
I have to think that zucchini is one of my favorite veggies.  So versatile!  Great in soups, grate into bread, bread and deep fry, or make this zucchini gratin. I am not actually sure this counts as a gratin, but let’s just call it that, shall we?  Maybe zucchini n cheese?   This is comfort food at it’s finest.  Cheesy goodness with a crunchy panko...

Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese
Hands down the best macaroni and cheese (other than my Mom’s growing up as a child) was a macaroni and cheese that was at an office potluck nearly 20 years ago. I took a small amount, but it on my plate, took one bite and went back and got a big scoop before it was all gone.   I asked “who made this recipe?!” The woman...

Pasta Frittata

Pasta Frittata
Pasta Frittata is a simple dish that can made with any pasta or veggies. Bucatini pasta is pasta that has a tiny hole in the middle and it’s bronze cut, which means it has extra texture on the outside and held all that delicious cheesy sauce together. What is Hearts of Palm Pasta? It’s not pasta.  Yes, it looks like pasta, but it will never...

She and I go WAY...

Skinny Pizza Dough Naan

Skinny Pizza Dough Naan
Skinny Pizza Dough Naan UPDATE!  This skinny pizza dough naan recipe was posted in 2020, and for some reason I never put a recipe card in this post.  Sorry about that!  Love that these naan are Weight Watchers friendly too! When two-ingredient dough (equal parts nonfat Greek yogurt and self-rising flour) first gained popularity, I wasn’t a fan. The dough was overly wet, required far...

Alouette Alfredo Sauce

Alouette Alfredo Sauce
This Alouette Alfredo Sauce made with Alouette cheese is the best way to make a quick alfredo sauce in minutes,    ************************************************************** On team purple on WW, whole grain pastas are zero points.  It’s a running joke at our house – my son-in-law will ask me how many points something is and I’m like “zero!”  With over 300 “zero” foods, there are a lot of...
