Beefy Mushroom Kale Soup

My fit friend Lisa gave me a bunch of button and portobello mushrooms fresh from her family’s farm and I thought I’d make some comfort food.

Stuffed Poblano Peppers

For some reason the more I thought about making stuffed poblano peppers, my head kept thinking about cheese. I decided to go with cottage cheese; not too crazy, good protein addition, and easy to add. Next decision? Meat.

Stuffed Pepper Soup

OK, OK, I know I say this a lot, my fit and hungry friends, but I think this is my new FAVORITE recipe I have EVER MADE. OMG if you like stuffed peppers and you like soup you have to give this one a try! It was super easy to throw together, it’s VERY CLEAN and HEALTHY, pretty INEXPENSIVE, and PRETTY. Oh, and did I mention it’s DELICIOUS?!

Bok Choy Chicken Soup!

So as I walked into class the other day, Anna and Sarah excitedly presented me with a very special bouquet for my birthday. It was lush and full and contained only two things… fennel and bok choy. Of course I would make this soup!

Will THIS be the week fresh blueberries start? OOH! The first squash of the season! Finally… TOMATOES! […]

Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

So when I’m trying to come up with tasty treats, the trick is to keep them healthy, too. Enter these muffins. Made with a minimum of ingredients and everything nice and clean, I feel good about eating them and letting my family gobble them up. Just like my other muffin recipes, these use oats […]

Rhubarb Sauce

Strolling around your local farmer’s market during the spring will invariably include the options of various greens, ramps, and rhubarb. Rhubarb? Yes, rhubarb is one of my favorite treats of the spring and I eagerly grab a bunch as soon as the fresh crop appears. Maybe you’re curious/confused about this green/red vegetable/fruit that’s tart/tangy. Maybe […]

Blueberry Zucchini Oat Muffins

These sweet treats truly are special. Very clean, with ground oatmeal instead of flour, honey and applesauce instead of sugar, and blueberries bursting with every bite – what’s not to love?
