I make a mixture of vegan and vegetarian recipes here along with meat ones. This is because we like to eat a variety of foods and there are many different diets here as my husband and I try to eat ‘healthy’ (a very broad term that we have defined for ourselves to basically mean less […]

Low Carb Pumpkin Treats
It’s almost fall! For many people, that means its pumpkin season. Stores and brands start going nuts with pumpkin spice flavored stuff and although I personally am not a huge fan of pumpkin stuff, I have to admit, I do enjoy the scent of pumpkin spice goodies baking in the oven. I also own several […]
DIY Mozzarella Cheese Recipe
DIY Mozzarella Cheese Recipe I wish I lived in the country and could have chickens, a huge garden and a few other animals. I dream of homesteading. For now, though, I am stuck in the city in a small apartment so I have to make the best of it. One of my favorite […]

Instant Pot Dill Pickle Potato Salad
There are a couple of things I am very spoiled with. First, I grew up with a mom that is an amazing cook. The other is because of who she was. I got to eat homemade potato salad far more than I had to eat that stuff in the deli of your local grocery store. […]
Hamburger Casserole
I remember the first time I heard of the #Labels4Edu (Labels for Education) program as a child. I was in elementary school and my class was told about collecting Campbell’s Labels for Education from their soup cans so we could get money for our school. It was so exciting to feel like I was helping […]
#ad Strawberry Peach Wine Slushie
Most seasons bring up a few foods and moods that seem to stick to them. For me, summer is all about fresh fruit, wine and any kind of BBQ food I can enjoy. It’s about cool evenings, time spent outdoors and travel for me. While I would love to travel across the seas this […]
Love The Earth Cookies
For many people, Earth Day (April 22 this year) is just another day. For someone like me that has a bit of a hippie in them, earth Day is an important holiday and one that I actually love celebrating. While I totally believe in the mantra, “Earth Day, Every Day”, I also love that this […]

Instant Pot Winter Vegetable Soup Recipe
I got my Instant pot for Christmas. I am officially in the legion of Instant Pot lovers. It seems almost like some secret society that isn’t very secret that you join when you buy an Instant Pot and only then do you get it. I have to say, folks, the Instant Pot is changing […]
Instant Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup
It’s still in the thick of soup season and although I know cream based soups are defiantly more full of calories than a broth variety, I love them. Sometimes, there is nothing better than a good hearty soup on a cold winter day. I bought an instant pot last year during Black Friday and I […]
Chocolate Covered Cherry Smoothie Recipe
This is a sponsored post. I have been sent multivitamins, nutrient booster powders and swag from MegaFood in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. For many of us, eating a balanced diet is not only challenging, but almost impossible with our busy lives. Even if you think you are doing enough, […]
Homemade Hazelnut Chocolate Spread Recipe (Homemade Nutella)
When it comes to holiday food, nothing says it better than decadent chocolate goodies. One of these is Nutella (hazelnut chocolate spread). While hazelnut spread has gotten cheaper over the years, I always like to try to make as much as I can homemade as it contains no preservatives and I know what is […]
Muddled Berry Fizz
I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com) to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links I’m not much for drinking adult beverages, but when I do, I like to be fancy about it. This means you usually won’t find me drinking a boring […]
Pumpkin Vinaigrette Dressing
I admit, I am not a huge pumpkin flavored “things” fan. I like the smell of pumpkin candles, but that’s about where it ends for me. It seems, though, that every year around this time, pumpkin stuff starts revving up and in an effort to relate to my fellow humans, I tried to come up […]
How to Make Sugar Skulls
Sugar Skulls are something I have always wanted to make. I seemed to never get around to it with the rush of Halloween but this year, since I didn’t have to take any kids trick or treating, I decided I would take Halloween to decorate and make sugar skulls. They are super easy to make […]
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Puree
Pumpkin puree is a staple in most homes this time of year. The on;y problem is, it can be expensive, full of preservatives and even added sugar and color if you buy it in a can. There is a traditional way of making it with an oven and a few pans with water in […]
Blueberry Muffin Protein Shake
This is a sponsored post in partnership with Vitamix and Mom’s Meet. All opinions are my own. Smoothies are a way of life in this household. Ever since we decided to live a flexitarian lifestyle, smoothies have become breakfast almost every morning. The problem that I find with smoothies, though, is while they are quick […]
