This cottage cheese waffle recipe is made with a blender and I love how easy it is.
Whirrr, pour, cook, DONE!!
I happen to love to use my waffle iron for all sorts of things other than waffles. If you haven’t tried my waffle iron banana bread or my waffle iron grilled apple you are missing out.
This overnight steel cut oats recipe is so ridiculously easy. Honestly, I don’t know why anyone buys the frozen stuff at Trader Joe’s.
Yes, you can buy frozen pre-cooked steel cut oats at TJ’s but with a wee bit of planning - you can make your own.
Healthy apple recipes are so simple to create. The apple is such a perfect fruit – sweet, crunchy, and it bakes well.
My part of the country features apples everywhere! In my backyard, driving to my children’s school, in the stores, farmers markets, and roadside stands. I can’t get enough apples and I will be swimming in them for months.
You got zucchinis? I have got a chocolate chip zucchini bread recipe for you.
This uses up 3 medium zucchinis! I know people have too many zucchinis in August and this bread will freeze well.
These 30 minute healthy mains will stop you from even considering the drive thru.
We have all been there – running on empty, thinking that you would rather just pick something up than cook – but don’t do it. You will feel so much better if you make a quick meal that is fresh, tasty, and good for you.
Whole grain banana muffins need to be a staple in your house. I cannot believe that I haven’t posted this recipe.
A few weeks ago, I used Kodiak mix to create a Kodiak pancakes recipe. It did include bananas and I believe this recipe could easily make muffins.
Lasagna is one of those foods that top favorite foods lists and so I came up with baked zucchini lasagna to help lighten this classic.
My son, not unlike Garfield, hasn’t met a lasagna he doesn’t like. Honestly, the kid could eat his own tray of the stuff if we let him (always trying to get him to eat his salad before he can have seconds, thirds, etc.). I decided to update my lasagna because of him.
This frozen banana bites recipe will solve the big problem of summer.
What is the big problem of summer? Ice cream. It is everywhere! In large amounts! I shouldn’t really call ice cream a problem because it is delicious and cold. But, I am surrounded my ice cream eaters and I need to cut back.
This lentil pasta sauce is my kind of recipe. Delicious, inexpensive, and it can be served on just about anything.
Why use lentils instead of ground beef? They are a fraction of the cost and most of the flavor in tomato sauce is due to the tomatoes. You don’t really need meat (though I do admit that meat is quite luxurious).
This healthy slow cooker oatmeal is for all the people who want a hot breakfast and don’t have time to make it.
I am a big fan of slow cooker oatmeal with old fashioned oats AND steel cut oats. I like to grab whatever I have available when the weather is cold.
