Breakfast
Mango, Banana, Raspberry & Spinach Smoothie

If my daughter could drink all of her meals, she would be a happy camper. Especially if she could drink them in the in form of SMOODIES (as she would say)!
These are hands down Katie’s favorite way to ingest food and great tool for her Mommy to load her up with nutrient-dense fruits and veggies!
And surprisingly enough…
Roni’s Banana Oatmeal Cups

Your morning bowl of oats just got a whole lot easier thanks to my friend Roni over at GreenLiteBites.
Roni took all of the ingredients that one might put into their morning bowl of oats and created these super tasty, super convenient Banana Oatmeal Cups.
Oat and Berry Protein Shake

I’m officially 22 weeks pregnant and realize that I have not shared many pregnancy details with you guys. This is mostly because for the first 16 weeks or so of this pregnancy the only form of pregnancy communication I seemed capable of was complaining! It was a rocky beginning and let’s just say that survival out weighed my health concerns.
In other words…
Gluten-Free Pear Snack Cake

This cake was inspired by the ingenious Elana from Elana’s Pantry.
Elana has a magical ability to create just about any baked good you can imagine sans the flour (although she doesn’t stop at baked goods!).
Her secret?!…
Cardamom and Sweet Potato Oatmeal

I have been away from my kitchen for nearly two weeks now so when I woke up this morning I couldn’t wait to make something for breakfast.
I hadn’t gotten to the store yet, so I had to work with pantry items and that’s when I came a cross a can of sweet potato puree!
Have you guys ever seen this?
Whole Wheat Blueberry Scones

Big, fat, plump, juicy blueberries have been all over the place lately, which is really no surprise considering it is berry season, but very exciting none-the-less!
Bite-Sized Blueberry Bran Muffins

Remember the abundance of blueberries I mentioned a few weeks back when I was making my Whole Wheat Blueberry Scones?
Broccoli and Cheese Breakfast Casserole

I have so many recipes bookmarked from so many great food blogs out there but somehow or other I always seem to fall back on Kalyn!
This Broccoli and Cheese Breakfast Casserole was inspired by a recipe I found over on Kalyn’s Kitchen. I know you guys know who Kalyn is by now…
Video: Roasted Apricot Crunch w/ Vanilla Yogurt Cream

Now I’m not bragging… but the truth is that I don’t like to watch the news and I very rarely read the newspaper.
What can I say, I’m a sensitive kind of gal and more times than not the news leaves me with thoughts and images in my mind that I find I am better off without!
Enter my husband…
Potato Crusted Swiss Chard Quiche w/ Goat Cheese

I think there is a fine line between “healthy eating” and “depriving yourself of foods you love”.
