This mock mojito with sugar free simple syrup is so delicious, you won’t miss the vodka. On July 1 I declared that July was going to be #dryjuly and give up alcohol for the month.  It corresponds with my DietBet that starts today (not too late to join! click here to get the details!)  and in order for me to lose 4%. of my body...

Yes, I am one of those people who can eat soup all year round.  And this cauliflower and potato soup is delicious. It’s an awesome way to use up leftovers, and when I saw I had cauliflower – soup was decided! The best part about this cauliflower and potato soup is that the base of the soup is not only vegetarian, but also VEGAN!  I...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

Black Bean Dip Recipe This black bean dip will soon be your go to appetizer! Show of hands how many times you’ve gone to the grocery store, stood in front of the canned bean aisle and think “do I need black beans?”  So you buy a few cans, only to come home and find that you have 7 cans already in your pantry?! 😂 Ingredients...

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...

Let’s pretend this published on a Friday, but really it doesn’t matter because people could read this post on a Tuesday.  OMG, just get on with it Biz! I am starting something new on Instagram called Follow Friday.  I am going to make a recipe from someone that I follow, and yesterday I showcased my friend Nicole from Prevention RD. She and I go WAY...
