Feeling like enchiladas but don’t want all the fuss? This vegetarian enchilada bake is full of summer veggies and a creamy green chile sauce. Best of all, it’s easy to make! I love anything Mexican-inspired! After living in San Diego for 8 years, I can’t get enough when it comes to Mexican food, and…
Coconut Cherry Smoothie
Smoothies are the perfect summer drink! So refreshing, fruity, and slightly sweet. This combination of coconut and cherries couldn’t be more perfect. Best of all, you only need 2 ingredients!
Mushroom Asparagus Calzones
I went to college in St. Louis, Missouri, and there was this amazing little Italian restaurant right across the street from our campus. My roommates and I used to always head over there for dinner when we needed a break from our dining hall food. For some reason, I always got the exact same thing…
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
There is nothing like homemade pizza dough, and it couldn’t be easier to make. The toughest part is remembering that you need to make it a couple hours before dinner! I love using this dough to make pizza and calzones, both of which are big hits in our house. I’m getting hungry just thinking about…
Vanilla Berry Donuts
I have a deep, dark secret to tell you. Donuts are one of my favorite foods. Don’t tell anyone.
Cheesesteaks
It was Luke’s birthday last week, and he requested Philly Cheesesteaks for his birthday dinner. I’ve never been to Philadelphia, nor have I ever had a cheesesteak (a tragedy, I know), so I wasn’t quite sure what to do. After perusing many different recipes, I decided to make my own adaptation. So, for the record,…
Whole Wheat Hoagie Rolls
We love fresh bread in our house! A couple years ago, Luke went on a bread making binge, and we got so used to having fresh bread around we couldn’t go back to the store bought stuff. There is something so magical about fresh baked bread, it is irresistible! We make all our whole wheat…
Chocolate Espresso Graham Crackers
We have a few road and plane trips coming up this summer, so I’m starting to make some portable snacks that we can easily take along with us. Enter Chocolate Espresso Graham Crackers. They are chocolatey, slightly sweet, yet still nutritious enough to pass for a snack. Sandwich a roasted marshmallow between 2 of them,…
White Bean Burger
I’m always searching for good meatless meals to throw in our dinner rotation, and bean burgers are always a hit in our family. They are easy to make, filling, and the kids love them! I had planned to make black bean burgers, but opened my pantry and found I only had navy beans, so the…
Simple Guacamole
My husband and I tried growing an avocado tree in our yard once. I had dreams of eating delicious guacamole with my constant supply of fresh avocados. Needless to say, my avocado growing endeavor didn’t pan out, as the tree bit the dust within weeks of planting it. Luckily, avocados are plentiful in our grocery…
