Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
I found a healthified recipe for this Tomato Corn Pie, orginially from Gourmet, on my friend Shannon’s site Tri to Cook. A veritable celebration of summer produce, this savory pie features tomatoes (I used heirloom), corn, scallions, and basil. A whole wheat buttermilk biscuit-like dough is used for the double crust, and the pie gets additional flavor from…

I am thrilled to announce that my recipe for Chicken Parmesan Burgers can be found in the “reader recipe” section of the April 2011 issue of Cooking Light magazine! They tweaked my recipe a bit – as they said they would through our earlier contact – and I’m excited to try out the new version. I wish my photography…
Neither my husband nor I grew up eating meat sauce, and we rarely order it at restaurants… so I’m not sure what inspired me to try my hand at making a bolognese. Regardless, I’m glad I did because it came out pretty well! To keep the bolognese sauce on the lighter side, I used lean…
Upon discovering the wonder that is blended frozen bananas many years ago, I completely gave up using ice in homemade fruit smoothies. Why use flavorless ice when you can add natural sweetness and a think, creamy, icy consistency with one healthy ingredient? Therefore, I initially didn’t think twice about using frozen banana as the base…
I was generously given some coupons for a few free Good Belly dairy-free probiotic juice beverages. They’re a great way to get your daily dose of digestion-aiding probiotics if you’re lactose intolerant or vegan! They come in a variety of sizes and delicious flavor combinations; my favorite was the Blueberry Acai. Every couple of years or so I’m…
It’s Friday! I know what you might be thinking: It’s almost the weekend, so forget about eating healthy and bring on the nachos/beer/pizza/brownies/ice cream. I’d be willing to bet that most people have this mindset as the school/workweek winds down – and I see no problem with a couple of weekend indulgences – but why…
Well hello, friends! It’s been strange not blogging as regularly as I used to, but then again pretty much every facet of my life has changed ;). I will post more Lily updates in next week’s Monday Musings post, but for now I can tell you that I am absolutely smitten with our precious little…
Photogenic it is not, but this casserole is deeeeelicious! Chewy and nutrient-packed quinoa is folded into a velvety herb cheese sauce speckled with tender broccoli florets and then crowned with a crunchy panko breadcrumb topping. The whole shebang is baked to a gooey + crispy perfection. Kids & adults alike are sure to love it!…
I can blame pregnancy, the colder weather, or the holidays – heck, probably all three – for my recent insatiable craving for homemade quick breads. I love warming the kitchen with a preheating oven and scenting the house with seasonal aromas while snow flurries carpet the bare trees, and I of course adore biting into…
