This Ham and Cheddar Frittata Squares Recipe has been sponsored by Eggland's Best, however, all opinions expressed here are my own.There are certain flavors that I love putting together.

With an absolute abundance of fresh herbs in the garden right now, I decided to whip up a ham and cheddar frittata recipe with fresh herbs. However, instead of doing a traditional frittata, I cooked it in an 11 x 7 pan in the oven which … [Read more...]

All opinions are mine alone. #BringYourBestBowl #Kroger #CollectiveBiasI have been working out almost every day for the last several months and you know what I have come to realize? Exercise makes me hungry. Not just a tad bit hungry, either. We are talking 'get out of my way and let me into the pantry' type of hunger. Since I don't always make good eating decisions when hungry (HELLO, package of chocolate cookies!) I am trying to make sure … [Read more...]
10 Best Healthy Breakfast Recipes I’ve Tried and Loved
January 25, 2016 by · 4 Comments
I decided today that I needed to share some of the best healthy breakfast recipes that I have tried over the last year or so. I am passionate about eating a healthy breakfast. I think I am part Hobbit because I would happily eat second breakfast every day if I could. Sometimes we eat breakfast for dinner and those are always well received by the kids. Depending on the day of the week and my to-do list, sometimes my healthy breakfast idea has to be portable. Some days I get to sit down to a full spread and relax while I eat. I find that by … [Read more...]

We are finally at the end of August here in Georgia and were blessed with a morning in the 60's last week. That might not sound exciting to you but I am so sick of the heat and humidity that I actually DREAM about leaves falling off trees and opening up my windows again. One of my favorite foods to enjoy during the fall is the tiny and oh so tart cranberry. It is such an incredibly versatile food that I stock up every year at Thanksgiving when they go on sale. Well, I am down to my last bag of cranberries so to make room for this years … [Read more...]

I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.My husband and I are early risers, even on the weekend.

Protein bars are a great way to boost energy after a workout or fill up a hungry teenager after a busy day at school. Even starting your … [Read more...]
Cranberry and Macadamia Nut Pancake Recipe with White Chocolate Chips
March 30, 2015 by · 4 Comments
Last week, my husband was out of town. As a result of his absence, I adopted the 'eat whatever the heck we want for dinner' rule. I just hate going through a lot of work for a big dinner when it is just me and the kids eating! One night, I decided we were doing breakfast for dinner and out of sheer laziness I grabbed for the box of premade pancake mix in the pantry. Only to find it almost completely empty. Great. Now I need to find a pancake recipe that is quick and easy. I also wanted to find one that added in fruit and nuts to alleviate … [Read more...]
