I read this quote recently and couldn’t agree with Mindy more. I sometimes ban myself from the mall and can almost never browse through Whole Foods because I have no will power when it comes to clothes and food. A beautiful sweater on sale at J. Crew? Need it. A piping hot plate of yummyContinue reading “Mindy Kaling Quote”

Homemade Granola Bars
Granola bars are a staple in our house – a good, nutritious (most of the time), and filling snack. It’s fairly simple to make your own granola bars so I thought I’d share my favorite recipe that we use when we make them. Plus, you can completely customize the dried fruits you use so it’sContinue reading “Homemade Granola Bars”
Not Your Mother’s Pot Roast
Ok, it’s dipped below 20 degrees this week (and that’s during the day, it’s in the single digits at night!) so we’re pulling out all our favorite winter recipes to make for dinner. One such favorite is Tyler Florence’s Pot Roast with Vegetables recipe. I’ve always been a huge fan of Tyler’s – we evenContinue reading “Not Your Mother’s Pot Roast”
Pumpkin Pie
We love all (ok, most) things pumpkin in this house so you know that when Thanksgiving rolls around it’s all about the pumpkin pie! We’re traveling for Thanksgiving this year so we made our own pie from scratch over the weekend. And then I had an idea…. if I ever had to say something badContinue reading “Pumpkin Pie”
Simple At-Home Curry Recipe
Sometimes you need a little something special for dinner even if you don’t have any extra time to make it. We get bored with the same old, same old and every once in a while will make a more ethnic dish to literally spice it up. Making curry at home is so easy now becauseContinue reading “Simple At-Home Curry Recipe”

I willContinue reading “A Yummy Way to Eat Your Veggies”

Baked Kale and Ricotta Dip
I was flipping through the most recent issue of Martha Stewart Living late last week and came across a quick one-page recipe for an alternative to spinach artichoke dip. Since it’s fall and football season and we’re always looking for snacks to enjoy while we watch games on Sunday afternoon, I immediately tore out theContinue reading “Baked Kale and Ricotta Dip”
Pappa Al Pomodoro – Bread Soup
I was watching an episode of Barefoot Contessa over the weekend where everything she made had bread as the main ingredient. One recipe was this soup (Pappa Al Pomodoro) and I thought, soup with bread IN it? That sounds pretty awesome, so we made it for dinner on Sunday. We also have tons of tomatoesContinue reading “Pappa Al Pomodoro – Bread Soup”
Fall Breakfast Yogurt
I’m always on the hunt for new breakfast ideas that are healthy and filling. Since we had tons of apples from our apple picking adventure I thought about how good apples would be with Greek yogurt, right? Here’s what I threw together and have been eating now for a week – it’s the perfect combinationContinue reading “Fall Breakfast Yogurt”
