Golden Beet & Beet Green Greens Pasta w/ Ricotta and Feta Cheese
Growing up, there was always a fifty-fifty shot that “macaroni” (as my parents like to call it) would be on the dinner menu.
We easily had pasta three times a week.
Spaghetti and Meatballs, Linguini and Clam Sauce, Pasta Fagioli, Cheese Raviolis, Lasagna, and Fusilli and Meat Sauce were just some of our childhood staples.
And as a mother who wants to get a simple meal on the table rather quickly, I get it. Pasta is a fast, easy, and delicious solution BUT how oh how can we ensure that that we are not sitting down to a nutritionally void meal??

Crunchy Asian Pear and Cabbage Salad
Have we ever discussed my love of “Slaw” before?
I can’t remember whether or not we have so I’ll just keep this short and sweet:
Beet, Beet Greens, Feta, Dill, and Quinoa Salad
Ever notice how fresh, nutritious foods not only taste great BUT also happen to be absolutely beautiful?
I mean honestly, I could walk circles around a good produce section or a local farmers market just ooohing and aaahing at all the beautiful colors and shapes that surround me.
Roasted Spaghetti Squash w/ Broccoli Rabe (aka Rapini) & Canellini Beans
Hip hip hooray for an extra hour of light.
This is huge in my world because it buys me that much more time to get a decent picture of what I’m making for dinner so I can share it with you guys!
No light = No picture = No new recipes on the blog - So needless to say, I’m a happy camper!
AND can you guess what was for dinner last night?
Simply Spinach (frozen) Soup
I am not a big “frozen food” person.
Strawberry-Vanilla Protein Oats
Counting calories has never worked for me. In all honesty it drives me INSANE. I find myself getting crazy over the littlest things and always end up self sabotaging in one way or another.
This is why the “Clean Eating“ style has become my favorite guideline when it comes to eating. Clean Eating does not focus on calories, rather it focuses on…
Ginger, Garlic, Honey & O.J. Glazed Salmon
As you know, I haven;t been doing a ton of cooking lately
Roasted Eggplant Couscous Salad
I have no groceries in the house, I haven’t cooked in about five days and I ate enough chocolate and drank enough “Skinny Girl Margaritas” over the weekend for each and every one of you!!
After a three day getaway to Palm Springs (first one since pre-Katie), this clean-eatin’ Mama needs to get her rear in gear.
Game-Day (or any day) Guacamole
I used to have a video post showing how I liked to make my Guacamole but it was one of the videos I lost in my big video crash! So in the words of Snookie (from the Jersey Shore)…
