Can you feel that? The light breeze. The sunlight on your face. I don't know what the weather is like where you are at, but here in southwest Ohio, spring is in the air. It might not last. We may have one last angry snow storm to punish us for the mild winter. Either way, spring is coming ...

How dinner went down: March 4th-10th
Anyone else feeling the effects of the time change? I definitely missed the lost hour yesterday as I felt like I was playing catch up all day. So much that this blog post didn't get written. With one child at preschool and the other one napping, I better hurry and get this done while I ...
How dinner went down: February 26th-March 3rd
Having a new baby is affecting my memory. I just had to sit here for 20 minutes because for the life of me I couldn't remember what we had for dinner last Sunday. Now that I think of it, I probably wouldn't have been super quick to recall a dinner from a week prior before I had Luke, either. You ...
How dinner went down: February 19th-25th
Welcome to your weekly peek into my kitchen at dinner time. This was my first full week going dairy-free. It hasn't been too difficult to find my go-to recipes without dairy, but a week without cheese is still a sad week in my book. Nonetheless, there was some serious tastiness for dinner this ...
How dinner went down: February 12th-18th
Here's your weekly peek at the Happy Healthy Mama family dinner table. Sunday Vegetable lasagna. I don't have a recipe as I never use one when making veggie lasagna. (If you need one let me know and next time I make it I'll write down what I do and post it for ya!) A friend of mine ...
Sesame noodles with red pepper and edamame
I'm short on time today so I won't even try to get my tired brain to come up with a clever introduction to this recipe. I'll just tell you that it's one of the tastiest quick dinners I've ever made. When a dinner can be ready in less than 30 minutes and delivers big on flavor, it's a winner in my ...
How dinner went down: February 5th-11th
Here it is: another week of how dinner went down in our house. Grocery shopping day snuck up on me and I wasn't fully armed with a meal plan this week. I hate when that happens because grocery shopping inevitably takes longer and I often either forget something I need or buy things I don't need. ...
Apple cheddar frittata
When I need a quick and easy dinner, one staple item I turn to often is eggs. They lend fast preparation, are a good source of protein, and are chock full of nutrients. Eggs also happen to be economical and delicious. This is a dinner that can be on your table in under 30 minutes. If you're ...
How dinner went down: January 29th-February 4th
I love reading blog posts with weekly meal plans. I always like to see what other families eat for dinner in a typical week and can usually find new ideas for my own weekly meal plan. I've been hesitant to post my own meal plans here, though, because I don't always stick to them. Sometimes I ...
Vegetable and tempeh stew with herb dumplings
So, I know it's Thanksgiving week and if you are hosting your mind is totally focused on all the holiday food you have to make. If you aren't hosting, then you are probably traveling, in which case you are busy preparing your family to get on the road. Either way, you aren't thinking about dinner ...
Beet and goat cheese phyllo pie
Lately my meal planning is all over the place. One week I have each meal meticulously planned, down to the last ingredient, and then the next week I am haphazardly planning meals in my mind as I wander through the produce section of the grocery store. As much as I hate those weeks when I'm not as ...
Baked parmesan-crusted parsnip (er-daikon radish) fries
Every Wednesday since March, a box, full of local, organic vegetables lands on my doorstep. It feels like Christmas every week when I open it up and see what's inside. I realize that it's a strange person who gets excited about vegetables, but I do. I really do. The last few weeks I've seen ...
