Caprese Salad Skewers
You guys. I am having a major food-related crisis! If you have been reading the ol’ blog for a while, you probably know these things about me: A) I enjoy healthy foods and attempt to live a healthy lifestyle. B) I enjoy baking and creating desserts that are often FULL. OF. SUGAR. I have discovered […]
Baked Potato Casserole
We planted potatoes in our garden again this year. A LOT of potatoes. Anyone want some potatoes?? I feel like I’m saying “this-is-what-we-are-doing-with-our-garden-surplus” over and over again on this blog, but it’s usually when we have giant piles of produce on our counter that I have to be creative and come up with new recipes. […]
Orange Creamsicles
The summer heat has got me overflowing with popsicle ideas, people! I have been trying out lots of different flavors and a few different molds to find my favorite combinations. One of my recent favorites is this recipe for Creamsicles. Orange Creamsicle is a classic summer flavor in my mind. My first taste of this […]
Freezer Mashed Potatoes
Did you guys know you can freeze mashed potatoes?? Pretty awesome revelation. I usually don’t make mashed potatoes on a week night because it seems like too much effort. It’s not really that difficult, but boiling pots of potatoes (that often boil over) and needy children don’t mix. So I save it for a time […]
Roasted Cabbage with Quick Balsamic Reduction
So St. Patrick’s Day fast approaches.. do you celebrate? I am in the midst of planning a very lucky, very green birthday party for my 2-year-old. His party falls on St. Patrick’s this year, so we decided to embrace the theme and get our green on. As you might imagine, we won’t be serving corned […]
Chicken, Kale and Broccoli Casserole
Let’s start this with a .. YUM. Reasons to try this recipe: It’s full of healthy greens. Dark, beautiful, curly kale and a little family-friendly broccoli. I like greens on their own, but when you add pasta and cheese? That’s a win. It’s freezable. I made the full recipe; baking up half of it for our […]

This is a good one. I was inspired to make these frozen smoothie bags by The Tidy Nest‘s make-ahead freezer […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chia Bites
If you spend any time on these vast internets searching for recipes (which you probably do since you’re reading this blog), you may have noticed the trend in bite-sized snacks. There are the sweeter types like cake balls/cake pops and cookie dough balls as well as healthier versions like raw energy balls. I’ve been wanting […]
Make Ahead Baked Oatmeal
Baked oatmeal is a great way to start your morning. I just ate this beautiful breakfast and the day is already off to a great start. Growing up in Central PA, baked oatmeal was always one of my favorite treats to have when we went out for breakfast. Every little diner and family restaurant has […]
Spicy Kale Lasagna
Mmm.. I am having good memories of this lasagna. Are you ready for cool weather comfort foods? I’m sure you northerners are. I’m getting in the mood myself, but the southern weather is getting in the way! This lasagna is a great way to transition into fall- not too heavy, since there’s no meat involved. […]
