This Eat Yo' Greens Soup is packed with nutrients and flavor! Don't judge it by its looks because you'll be missing out!There was a time when I wouldn't have been excited about a soup full of greens. Cheddar and bacon? Maybe. Greens? Nah. So if you read my title and cringed a little, but are ...

Lemony Lentil Salad
It was one of those days. You plan to get home at a certain time, but life with a toddler sometimes makes tasks that should take 10 minutes take 20 or 30 minutes. Those few extra minutes wasted taking off shoes and putting them back on because "I DO IT! MEGHAN'S TURN TO PUT ON THE SHOE!" and ...
Cilantro Pesto
So many times when I buy a bunch of cilantro, I only need a few tablespoons. Then I have this huge bunch leftover, which doesn't sit well with this mama. I hate to waste food, so whenever I buy cilantro I find myself scrambling to find ways to use it up. That's how this recipe was born. I had ...
Super Star Salmon Melts
I have completed two days of Adventure Boot Camp, and although I can barely walk, I'm feeling good about myself. It must be the endorphins or something. Although if you asked me how I'm feeling during the workouts, I would probably give you a different answer. Yesterday's workout was hard. ...
Broccoli and Cream Cheese Sammy
After my experiment with adding a vegetable with cheese to create a sandwich mixture turned into a successful green grilled cheese (check out the comment section over there--a lot of readers have tried the green grilled cheese with their kiddos and they loved it), I realized that I could use this ...
Mango and Avocado Coleslaw
It can be difficult when you have different tastes than your family. I do my best to accommodate my husband's taste buds, my toddler's ever-changing preferences, and my own cravings. We all like different things and sometimes it gets downright hairy trying to please everyone. When Tim saw me ...
Focaccia with Fig Spread, Goat Cheese, and Arugula
I hoped to be bringing you a recipe for herbed focaccia bread tonight. Whole grain bread baking has been on my list of things I want to get good at--I even took a bread baking class last fall that was supposed to focus on whole grain breads. In reality, the class featured recipes that split white ...
Vegan Chickpea Tomato Wrap
This Vegan Chickpea Tomato Wrap makes a super quick and easy lunch that is full of flavor!Often times, I eat whatever Meghan is having for lunch. If she's having a mashed banana and tahini sandwich, I go ahead and have one, too. Some days, however, I just want something that I know Meghan most ...
Italian-Style Lentil Soup
The last few days have been deceivingly sunny. I look outside and there is no snow, the sun is shining, and for a minute I think it could be spring. I run out to the mailbox without my coat. Nope. It's still winter. The weatherman reports the highest temperature we're going to see this week is ...
Toddler Eats: Alphabet Vegetable Soup
With my brother and his (large) family coming to town for the day, I wanted a healthy lunch I could make ahead of time and serve when they arrived. Who doesn't remember eating Campbell's Alphabet Vegetable soup as a kid? I think it's safe to say that it's a standard memory for most people in my ...
Favorite Recipes of 2010
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed their time celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. While I took a few days off from blogging to focus on the celebration and time with my family, I wanted to give you a recap of our favorite recipes that I posted on Happy ...
Creamy Sweet Potato Soup and Coconut Oil Giveaway Winner
It isn't even officially winter yet, and I'm already ready for it to be over. I am seriously not a winter girl. I grew up in one of the coldest places in the United States (the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Believe me, it's cooooooold up there) and as soon as I had the chance I moved where it was ...
