We recently purchased a “julienne” tool, and we have to admit, we are totally OBSESSED with it.. Julienne all the veggies! Its so easy to use and dare we say it, makes eating veggies so much more fun! Kids LOVE it too!!! We started using this to peel carrots for Tacos, and then had the brain wave to use it…

Beet Salad Recipe This week’s salad features one of our absolute FAVE vegetables! Roasted Beets. Even though this beet salad recipe is simple with just a few ingredients, the flavors are Bold and Fresh! I know what you’re thinking.. Beets are messy. They dye your hands and stain your clothes. Its true. We have been known to ruin a…

I’m keeping my promise! Here’s my delicious salad of the week. I’ve been a Brussel sprout fan for as long as I can remember! Even as a child I LOVED when my grandmothers would make them! It wasnt until a few months ago that the thought occurred to me to eat them raw. In a […]

I’m crossing my fingers behind my back as I type…) Even If you do have nut allergies to contend with,  there are…

Orzo Asparagus Salad is one of our faves! To say pasta is beloved in my household would be a HUGE understatement! I swear, I should have been born Italian! That said, we usually try to limit our pasta intake to one meal a week in an attempt to keep in line with our fitness goals.…
