Beary Shake

Beary Shake

“Beary shake” Because naming it after a BEAR (like Pooh Bear or Cornell Bear) is apparently more fun! Berries are rich in antioxidants and disease fighting vitamins. Along with that, it’s higher in fiber than most fruits which can help you feel fuller longer! Ingredients: 

Honey Yogurt Oatmeal Shake

Honey Yogurt Oatmeal Shake

It’s a full meal in a bottle! I personally like to eat my breakfast…however, I don’t always have the time. I also don’t always have the time to make my son a balanced breakfast in the morning before we rush off. This is something that

  • 2 lb chicken breast cut into 1/2″ pieces

  • Let it cook a few minutes and turn on each side until it starts to brown

  • Take chicken off the pan and add the sauce ingredients, use a little more water here if necessary. Stir well, turn up the heat and let it boil a little bit. It may take a few minutes for this to thicken. It thickens more when the chicken is added back.

Simple Guacamole

Simple Guacamole

My tip for guacamole? You need some good avocados! I only get from two places. Stew Leonard’s OR Costco. Because they are always consistently good! I buy my avocados un-ripened and then i put them in a large bowl and place some ripe bananas on

Hummus

Hummus

A really simple (and cheap) way to make hummus. I think when you make it from scratch it just tastes BETTER. When I buy hummus from the store, I literally taste refrigerator. This hummus is just creamy , delicious and of course…nutritious. I took out some calories. Here’s how…. Ingredients:

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can of chick peas rinse the chick peas and drain
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or 1/2 squeezed lemon, i usually don’t squeeze the full half
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Put all ingredients except oil and seasoning in a food processor and process until smooth. Hold the oil until it’s all smooth and let it drizzle in as the food is being mixed, about 1 tbsp. If your hummus was looking too cakey before the oil you can drizzle a little water in first. Add salt and pepper towards the end to make sure it tastes how you like it. Enjoy!

Beet Goat Cheese Salad

Beet Goat Cheese Salad

Beets make a fantastic addition to any salad! They’re a great source of folate and fiber per cup…which means you can feel like popeye AND have great digestive health all day…pretty awesome.* This recipe is great if you have all of these things on hand.

Thank you for your comments

I started this site seven years ago. It was my hobby, my passion and new addiction!

I got married had a baby and things got busy as a full time working mom, with a husband who works double time. I didn’t renew my site because I forgot about it and all my information was lost! All my recipes for years!

I started rebuilding this site a few months ago and I’ve been so excited to even just get one new follower! I now feel like I’m in the works of having this identity back again!

So thank you everyone for your support. I look forward to your comments, likes and years of recipes and tips to come!
