    Cauliflower Fried Rice With Chicken

    March 25, 2022 - By 

    I know so many empaths and highly sensitive people who struggle with food intolerances, allergies, and sensitivities. It really can stink to struggle with bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and skin issues because our bodies struggle after eating certain foods. And I’m speaking from experience! Grains, dairy, and even sugar can cause major imbalances. For me, I recognized that if I eat a lot of grains it impacts my blood sugar levels and just makes me super tired and bloated. I created this chicken cauliflower fried rice recipe as an option for those who wish to skip conventional rice. I enjoy…

    Simple Sausage Pasta Soup

    March 13, 2022 - By 

    It’s March here in South Carolina. I love this time of year because the weather is getting warmer, the flowers are starting to bloom and it stays light later. Spring is coming! But occasionally winter likes to give us a reminder that we’re not quite done with it yet. That is what happened this weekend. After a few weeks of temperatures in the 70s and even 80s, we had high temperatures in the 40s and lows in the low 20’s again. It was cold and so for dinner, I was looking for something that would warm me up. I created…

    What do you do when you have lots of great vegetables and some smoked sausage that you need to use up, but don’t already have a go-to recipe to use them all in? And you need something without waiting for it to cook in the slow-cooker. You come up with a brand new soup…smoked sausage vegetable soup! And this soup couldn’t be more simple either! I love March in South Carolina! It means warmer weather here, and I’m often able to open all of the doors and windows to welcome in some fresh air. Today was no exception. It was…

    Ground Beef and Barley Soup

    January 24, 2022 - By 

    I just love a good soup in the winter! And I love creating new soups with ingredients that are new to me. Of course, I always try to use simple ingredients which just make my body feel better. This ground beef and barley soup is no exception! It is simple, and yet satisfying. The winter of 2022 has been a particularly cold one. It isn’t often we have a lot of winter weather here in South Carolina, even though it can get cold from November through March. But in January of 2022, we had an ice storm one weekend followed…

    Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups

    October 13, 2021 - By 

    It’s fall here in the US and that means it’s the perfect time for wonderful fall flavors. Now I’ve been absolutely in love with making baked oatmeal cups. They make such a quick and easy breakfast or snack. And I’ve done banana walnut and blueberry earlier this year. But I’ve been so excited for fall because I have wanted to make apple cinnamon baked oatmeal cups. I love this flavor combination! And during the fall months, my favorite apple is available…Macintosh. To me, a Macintosh apple is fall! I grew up eating them when I grew up in Michigan. They…

    Anyone who knows me knows I’m a fan of pumpkin spice. And every September, I get so excited for the start of pumpkin spice season! So this year, I’ve made it a goal to create some new pumpkin spice-themed recipes. And this pumpkin spice oatmeal was at the top of my list! I make homemade oatmeal all the time. It’s easy to make and tastes great! So adding some pumpkin spice flavor to my oatmeal was the perfect way to change my breakfast up a bit. Now I use a premade organic pumpkin spice seasoning in my recipes. It’s just…
