A couple weeks ago I checked out the book Superfood Kitchenby Julie Morris from the library.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Quesadillas
Lately I have not posted many of my own recipes. There are so many great recipes out there I figure, why recreate the wheel? I'm perfectly happy making others creations and reporting back on the outcome. This recipe, however, is our own creation and is one of my favorite dinners. I think we came up… Continue reading Sweet Potato Black Bean Quesadillas

Heart Cookies
I mentioned the other day that I reconnected with roll-out sugar cookies over Christmas. Our son had a lot of fun making them so we vowed to do it again for other holidays this year. No reason sugar cookies can only be made at Christmas right? I think with a cookie like this, it's best… Continue reading Heart Cookies

Chocolate Breakfast Quinoa
We started adding quinoa to our breakfast routine when we realized how much our toddler loves it. You can make breakfast quinoa similar to oatmeal.

Spinach Pesto Lasagna

When I saw the recipe for sun-dried tomato cream sauce in the Vitamix… Continue reading Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

Mini Quinoa Cakes
Amy introduced our family to quinoa some time ago. We have mostly reserved it for a side dish, either standing on its own, or tossed with veggies, beans, dried fruit or other additions for a pilaf-style salad side dish. Amy has a post on here about a quinoa loaf we made that was good, but… Continue reading Mini Quinoa Cakes

Salad in a Jar
This is a brilliant idea. I never thought of putting salad in a jar and I love jars and use them for everything. One of my Facebook friends posted a link to the blog Fat Girl Trapped in a Skinny Body with directions on how to put salad in a jar. I tried it immediately: In my… Continue reading Salad in a Jar
