Spinach Lovers Pie
I’ve always made spinach quiche, but never a spinach pie. This is attempt number one, and I’ll tell ya right now, you will see more versions of it in the future.
Spinach is my MOST FAVORITE vegetable of all time. If my family would let me, I would serve it every other day.

Healthy Blueberry Muffin Recipe
This simple recipe is for breakfast or dessert. I made so many, we snacked on them all day long.
This past week, I picked up a 1/2 pint of organic blueberries from my local CO-OP just to bake muffins. My family absolutely loves blueberry muffins, so I wanted to spoil them just a bit. [...]
Simple Pinto Bean Soup
This is as simple and delicious as bean soup can get, next to opening a can. Don’t make me open up the can!
Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this recipe. It’s loaded with good flavor and very filling. It’s was created from NOT having enough leftover cooked pinto beans, but LOTS of [...]
Organic Italian Soup
Another easy, simple dinner recipe that will knock your socks off!
Well okay, it’s not entirely organic, only the onion, carrots, celery and zucchini were organic. The vegetables came from a local organic produce CO-OP I’ve recently joined. I’ll write a separate post about the CO-OP later. For now, THIS SOUP ROCKS!
Last week, [...]
Baked Tilapia and Spinach
fish that’s been baked, broiled, blackened or fried is fine with me. It’s truly my favorite food, next to spinach, goat cheese, and dark chocolate. NO, there’s not any chocolate in this recipe…eww.
The other night, my husband called to report he was trapped in traffic and would pull over to grab Chik-Fil-A. [...]
Spicy Zucchini and Pasta
This is a quick and easy dinner that my husband and I scarfed down with pure glee. My kids wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole; my son takes his pasta with a traditional red sauce. And my daughter, well, let’s not go there.
This recipe was created only to bring two distinctly [...]

2 slices whole wheat toast
2 tablespoons peanut butter
8 banana slices per sandwich

We have had to hurry out the door everyday this week. Making these breakfast sandwiches made it easy to eat on the go [...]

Steak and Salad Dinner
This is a beautiful and delicious meal made on the fly. Let me tell you, I had no plans to put this together. I was at the grocery store and happened to see they had boneless sirloin steaks on sale. I picked up one small steak (.88 pounds for $4.83) to feed [...]

Hummus is Yummus
Don’t you want to run your finger through that bowl?
My girlfriend, Donna needed a break, so I offered to take her kiddos for the afternoon. Our kids are best friends and get along wonderfully. (It’s actually a bonus for us both.) Donna happens to LOVE hummus. As an extra treat, [...]
World Nutella Day
I heard of Nutella for the first time, about a year ago. I had watched some program about International Chefs cooking in fancy restaurants, but still having to offer condiments that are below Foodie par. There was an Italian chef in California who offered Nutella on toasted baguette slices. He said, "Nutella to Italy [...]
