Fast & Easy Lasagna Soup

fast and easy homemade lasagna soup

This may come as a shock to you, but I absolutely HATE lasagna. Seriously. I’d rather eat rocks. Or pinecones. I don’t know why…I love the ingredients in other things, but it’s never been on my list of favorite dishes. This is a problem because Ish LOVES lasagna (probably more than me!). So I’ve been…

Fast & Easy Gluten-Free Pancakes

quick and easy homemade gluten-free pancakes

Happy Monday! Sundays are usually my day to sleep in (Ish and I switch off-he gets Saturday, and I get Sunday. It works.), but not yesterday. Yesterday, I was jolted awake by the wailing of my 3 year old. Smalls was DEMANDING that I make pancakes. NOW. Not later. Not for brunch. NOW. Apparently Ish’s…

Pumpkin Spice Mug Brownie Cake

less than 5 minutes to an amazingly moist pumpkin spice brownie mug cake for one

Sometimes I get a brownie craving. Okay, okay. A LOT of the time I get brownie cravings. Usually they hit late at night, and making a pan of brownies from scratch is a really, really bad idea. Mostly because I will just eat the entire pan. I’m surely not the only one with this problem,…

Perfectly Baked Bacon For One

Tired of getting bacon grease all over you kitchen in the morning? Try using your oven to make baked bacon!

I have to admit…since I started eating meat again, one of my favorites is bacon. There’s something about it’s crispy goodness that just makes my tummy happy. But I hate, and I do mean HATE, the mess that it makes. Even with a splatter guard, grease seems to get absolutely everywhere. Maybe I’m just unlucky.…

Homemade Vanilla Almond Granola

Easy homemade granola recipe to make ahead for breakfast.

I love breakfast. But sometimes, I get stuck in a rut. During the summer, I do a lot of smoothies and protein shakes (obviously not right now with my Unprocessed October Challenge), but in the winter, I tend to want more sustenance. Odd that when it gets cold my mouth really wants to chew! I…

Unprocessed October Challenge

unprocessed October

I’ll admit it…I’m a pumpkin-flavored everything fan. In fact, as I type this, I’m sitting here drinking at double tall, free-poured, breve, Pumpkin Spice Latte and noshing on a pumpkin scone. Yup. Score 800 calories for breakfast! To add to this, I didn’t work out this morning, since Ish had to be AT WORK at…

Zucchini chips?

Zucchini Chips

Okay. So I went a little bit overboard with the zucchini buying this week. I have 1 large and 6 tiny (they’re adorable!) zucchini. I made some zucchini pasta last night to go with my RAWsome green smoothie (recipe follows). It was DELISH. I am going to use the rest of the zesty marinara to…

Happy Tuesday, everyone! How has your week been so far? Good? Other than being chronically sleep deprived (but what mama isn’t?!), I’m great. In fact, I’m super-duper. I’m better than super-duper. I’m fantasmagorical, to quote Mary Poppins…. Moving on. So. The sleep deprived thing is really starting to get to me. Sure, hubs let me sleep…

Bleh. | How pumpkin pie smoothies saved my morning.

easy pumpkin pie smoothies

SO. Being mommy and being sick SUCKS. That’s right. I’m officially full of crud (and not the funnybecausewhatI’msayingispithy kind. The myheadmightexplodeifIblowmynosewrong kind). That being said, IT STINKS. Smalls doesn’t know that mommy feels like garbage…and why should he? Well, because if he understood, then I could rest on the couch. But he doesn’t, so I have…
