Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
It’s Monday, and whether you’re back to the grind or still working from home, there’s something about the start of the week that calls for a fresh and satisfying lunch. That’s where our Chicken Salad Sandwiches come in. Packed with protein, bursting with flavor, and easy to prepare, they’re the perfect way to kick off…
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…
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…
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…

I told you this might happen. Clearly, I didn’t waste any time putting those leftover Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins to use. I have a confession to make: After luxuriating in the initial muffin or slice of quick bread still warm from the oven, I rarely eat the remaining baked goods plain. I cube ‘em…
Strawberry shortcake holds a special place in my heart – for many years in a row I requested it for my birthday dessert when my mom offered to make anything I’d like. I put a different twist on this one, using leftover defrosted peanut butter biscuits that I froze after making them for the Peanut Butter…
For the past few years, John and I have opted to stay in for Valentine’s Day dinner. I firmly believe that the best way to express how much you love someone is by preparing a meal that he/she adores. For my wonderful husband, one of those meals is braciole. A decidedly Italian blend of breadcrumbs,…
