    40+ Pumpkin Spice Recipes to Welcome Fall!

    September 21, 2015 - By 

    It’s that time of year! Fall is almost here and so it’s time for pumpkin spice recipes galore! It’s hard to believe how quickly summer flew by and now we find the official start of fall is only a couple of days away. There are certain tastes that we always associate with fall and one of the most popular ones in recent years is pumpkin spice.  What started with the famous pumpkin spice latte, now has turned into pumpkin spice coffee creamer, candies, yogurt, cookies, beer, candles and  pretty much anything processed and packaged that you could want, and maybe…

    Ham and Cheese Frittata

    September 11, 2015 - By 

    I love omelets. But one downfall about making omelets is that they are pretty labor-intensive. It requires the use of more than one pan as well. Typically I use two for omelets….one for the eggs and the other to saute vegetables or cook up some sausage. The beauty of a frittata like this ham and cheese frittata is that you can enjoy the same great taste of an omelet, without all of the work! This is even more beneficial if you have more than one person to cook for! In that situation, a frittata is a perfect solution! Now, let’s…

    Simple Home Fries

    September 7, 2015 - By 

    Do you ever make home fries? This simple side dish is great with any meal! Potatoes are always a nice option for a side dish when you are fixing dinner. But it’s nice to have options other than mashed or baked potatoes, don’t you agree? I am all about simple. And some days when I need a quick and easy side dish, these home fries are absolutely perfect. It only takes about 5 minutes of prep to get this going and then you just let it cook in the skillet while you do other things, which is really convenient. Sometimes…

    Do you have some good, easy but tasty appetizer ideas to keep on hand for entertaining? This beef and cheese taco dip is a real crowd pleaser! Fall is just about here! The kids have gone back to school and football season is starting. So it’s time to start thinking about some great football watching, tailgating kinds of snacks that are tasty, filling….and simple! I actually created this recipe because I wanted something that contained plenty of protein along with the carbs. This recipe is so yummy that I actually have been known to make it and eat it as…

    Simple Chocolate Syrup

    September 2, 2015 - By 

    Mmmm…..chocolate! Now, who doesn’t love chocolate? Well, there are a few people out there who don’t adore chocolate. But I am definitely NOT a part of that crowd!  I don’t have to gorge myself on chocolate every day, but a few times I week I do enjoy indulging in some chocolatey goodness! One thing that I have really missed since starting to eat a real food diet is store-bought chocolate syrup. Once in a while, I get a craving for chocolate milk, or I like having a little chocolate to drizzle on my strawberries or homemade ice cream. Unfortunately, the…

    Taco Baked Potato (Recipes for Two)

    August 25, 2015 - By 

    Sometimes recipes that come from desperation can end up being brilliant…and we won’t talk about the other times! Luckily, this taco baked potato recipe was one of the brilliant ones! I am really focused on simple, quick meals that are really tasty, but different than my usual rotation of meals. Unfortunately, those can get a little boring, which is not good. I am also working to eat far fewer grains (which is much better for my tummy), and still, be able to enjoy some of the flavors that I really love. This recipe was created because I just didn’t know…
