Tex-Mex Diabetes Cookbook Review

January 4, 2019 By Lane 1 Comment

This post is sponsored in conjunction with the publicity team for Tex-Mex Diabetes Cooking. We received this cookbook in exchange for an honest review.  Of course all opinions are ours alone because we wouldn’t have it any other way!

As most of you already know I have started the Whole 30 this month so obviously health is going to be important to me in 2019.  But what some of you don’t know is that I was recently diagnosed with insulin resistance which is the precursor to diabetes.  So when the publicity team for Tex-Mex Diabetes Cooking approached us about a possible review of their new cookbook, I couldn’t say no.  But I won’t say I had high hopes.  I mean diabetes friendly Tex-Mex food?  Really?  Luckily I was about to be proven so very wrong.  In the very best way.  This book is a winner and we were lucky enough to be able to share one of the recipes with you!  (And chances are good you know someone with diabetes who could benefit from this book too!)

Veggie Quinoa Cakes

April 10, 2018 By Holly 14 Comments

I’m not gonna lie, sometimes feeding my daughter is tough. She is the sweetest, funniest little girl in the world but at 18 months old, she’s also a tiny tyrant when it comes to food. If it isn’t a fruit, yogurt, bread, or cheese, she isn’t having any of it. I’m fairly certain that if it weren’t for those handy pouches with veggies mixed in, she wouldn’t get within 10 feet of a vegetable. It breaks my food blogger/veggie loving heart just a little. So, in an attempt to get my daughter to eat something other than cheese, I recently came up with these delicious little Veggie Quinoa Cakes. They’re easy to make (and freezable!) and packed with protein and veggies, making them a great option for the entire family!

This is the frittata of my dreams.  Cheesy, packed with flavor and so, so easy, Southwestern Frittata is a keeper.

Southwestern Frittata

 

Drool alert!

Last weekend was our cabin blogging weekend.  Imagine, two of my besties, a ton of fresh ingredients, wine, a beautiful view and lots of imagination. And with no kids and no husbands to cook for, we had full artistic license!  SO MUCH FUN.  I’m so excited to share all of the new recipes we created, starting with this Southwestern Frittata!

Cheesy Artichoke Dip

January 2, 2018 By Holly 2 Comments

Cheesy Artichoke Dip

Happy New Year, friends! It’s hard to believe that the holidays have come and gone and 2018 is here already. I loved spending time with family and friends over the past few weeks and celebrating all the fun we had in 2017. Now, I know that for many people, January means new goals and intentions for the new year. If you’re anything like me, those goals or intentions often include health and fitness. Self promises to eat better, move more, and do something less. Well, if you came here looking for a healthy new year recipe, I’m going to break it to you gently: this isn’t it. And you know what? I’m not sorry in the least. Our Cheesy Artichoke Dip is a full flavor, comfort food treat that is worth every single calorie. …

BBQ Chicken Macaroni and Cheese

October 24, 2017 By Lane 14 Comments

Baked macaroni and cheese, creamy, bubbly and flavorful.  This recipe combines an amazing baked macaroni and cheese recipe with delicious BBQ chicken.  Your family will thank you for this BBQ Chicken Macaroni and Cheese!

Last weekend was a quiet girls’ weekend at the cabin.  No kids.  No spouses.  Wine on the dock during the day and by the fireplace in the evening.  Brilliantly colored leaves and fall temperatures.  Long walks on a treelined streets.  And comfort food.  Sweet comfort food.

Like this BBQ Chicken Macaroni and Cheese.

Good Food Reads: Snack Time!

August 25, 2017 By Holly 14 Comments

snacks

I’ve been feeling extra snack-y lately. For whatever reason, sit down meals just haven’t been my thing. Snacks though? All over it. It may have something to do with the busy, end of summer, cram-it-all-in-before-it-gets-cold life we are living right now but I’m embracing it, whatever it is. This week’s Good Food Reads is a selfish collection of snack recipes that I’m hoping to try in the coming weeks. Got a favorite snack? Let me know on social media. Or just dive right in and enjoy this week’s Good Food Reads: Snack Time! …

BBQ Bacon CheeseBurger

Ready for another cabin story?  Well, sorry to disappoint.  The only story here is that I was hungry (Well, I guess technically I WAS at the cabin).  Hungry for a burger.  A home grilled, oozy, gooey, flavorful burger.  A BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger.  And I wasn’t going to stop until I got it.  …

Buffalo Bacon Macaroni and Cheese

Buffalo Bacon Macaroni and Cheese

Happy one year Blogiversary to us!  We’ve been officially bringing you delicious food for ONE FULL YEAR!  And what a year it was!  In fact I’m not sure any other year has ever gone so fast!  Our little blog duo has officially seen a new baby born (congrats Holly), a preschooler whose world was rocked by a new baby sister, a child who started kindergarten, and a teenager who has hit her stride.  Holly and I are both another year older and wiser in our full time careers and yes, we’re both still married (Holly 10 years and myself 18 years) despite crazy chaotic schedules and demands (yay, guys-thanks for hanging in there with us!).  But even more exciting, we’re both still loving blogging and bringing you our favorite recipes!  For me, this would include this Buffalo Bacon Macaroni and Cheese which is pure, unadulterated decadence! …

Pesto Caprese Dip

August 12, 2016 By Holly 58 Comments

Pesto Caprese Dip

I’m always on the lookout for a crowd pleasing, easy, appetizer for those last minute get togethers or weekends at the lake. This recipe for Pesto Caprese Dip is one of those recipes that I make again and again that requires minimal effort but packs a maximal punch. It requires only a few ingredients and can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before you’re ready to serve it, which makes it perfect for entertaining. The Pesto Caprese Dip takes advantage of the late summer bounty of cherry tomatoes and fresh basil, but if you have a source for good basil in the winter, it’s really a great recipe year round. Even my picky eater husband (who hates tomatoes!) gobbles it up. It’s rare that there are any left overs! The recipe is adapted from an appetizer a neighbor and dear friend (Hi Kara!) shared with me last summer (find the original here) and I’ve tweaked it over time to reflect my personal tastes but I will say, the original is a mighty fine option as well, particularly if you’ve run out of pesto or just don’t like it….

Healthy Egg White Breakfast Muffins

April 11, 2016 By Holly 10 Comments

Healthy Egg White Breakfast Muffins

Let’s just get this out of the way: I am not a morning person. While having a toddler has certainly forced me to be an early riser, mornings are still not my most productive time. I much prefer a slow wake up, a lazy cup of coffee, and a leisurely breakfast. Unfortunately for me, being a full time working mama doesn’t mean that I can indulge in mornings MY way very often. So, I try and keep some healthy breakfast options on hand to ease the way. These Healthy Egg White Breakfast Muffins are a staple around here. They take less than 10 minutes to put together and freeze beautifully, all while being full of fresh veggies and tangy cheese. Paired with a lovely breakfast sausage or a glass of vegetable juice and it’s a filling, easy way to start the day.

The best thing about these egg muffins really is how versatile they are. I love to make mine with egg whites (to allow more calories for cheese!), bell peppers, and spinach. They are amazing with bacon, goat cheese and sundried tomatoes, too. Frequently, they are filled with whatever needs to be used up from the vegetable drawer….
