Finding the balance of motherhood one day at a time
I made this up one night in hopes to flavor my broccoli without adding cheese to it because we all know how good melted cheese is on broccoli however thats where you get alot of fat content. It came out really good and I served it at a holiday once and got some raves about […]
I made this up one night because again we get bored of just plain brown rice and it helps to have veggies thrown in there, I must say it was very tasty and it gave me a mexican feel so that’s how it got its name! Very simple to just add a few things to […]
I made these for the first time with steak for my husband, I don’t make mashed potatoes that often, they are my weakness and lots of unwanted carbs but I do like to have them every now again, I’ve always made my potatoes the way my mom taught me, milk and butter! The sour cream […]
I made this for the first time last year it just really puts some awesome taste in your sweet potatoes. I grew up either never having sweet pototoes or not liking them I don’t know which, however I started eating them about 4 years ago when I wanted to start eating healthier. It’s a great […]
This is a family favorite too, ok well some of my family, it’s a joke that most people are grossed out by this combination however a few of us love it and when we served it at a camp fire this summer 2 of our guy friends (yes guy friends!) devoured it!! Give it a […]

I guess they say that if you make your own chips they are lower in fat and hold more of a corn flavor than the store bought ones. Hey it’s worth a shot! You can store these in an air tight container in your cabinet for up to a week or in your freezer for […]
What’s better than a casserole in a crockpot!! I served this over egg noodles! Super yummy! And great for a quick meal with the kiddos too! Ingredients: 16 oz. extra lean gr. beef (or turkey) 2 cups sliced raw potatoes 1 & 1/2 cups sliced carrots (I used frozen) 1 cup chopped celery 1/2 cup […]
This seems like a long and hard recipe, I was a bit overwhelmed when I first read it but once I dove in I was surprised at how easy it really was. It’s another skinny recipe from Gina! I served mine with a parmesean cous cous which ended up being a great mix, and of […]
Now my husband doesn’t like meatloaf, so I made this recipe without telling him what it was hoping the “presence” would do justice. I can’t take credit for it, it’s from Gina’s skinny recipes but here it is and let me tell you just how good it was!!! My 11 mth old daughter ate it […]
