Don’t let the ‘cream’ in the name scare you away! This smoothie doesn’t have cream or sugar added, but it’s creamy and sweet enough to be called strawberries n’ cream! Earlier this week I posted the homemade healthy granola, and mentioned I use oats in my smoothies but realized I haven’t posted a smoothie that [...]
I always have an abundance of oats in our house. I use oats for oatmeal, baking, and smoothies, but I have never tried making our own granola. Last week we were at Whole Foods and they were sampling Ruby’s Gold Golden Granola. I wasn’t sure what the girl’s would think of it since we don’t [...]
Our skin takes a beating every day, from the sun, sweating, or kids putting their hands all over it. This smoothie is full of vitamin A, C, E, and Omega-3′s, all of which are perfect to help heal, and protect your skin. Time to get glowing, radiant skin! Vitamin E plays an important role in [...]
There are two things you will not see me eating very often, if ever, olives and cottage cheese. So, I never thought I would be making pancakes using cottage cheese, but I decided to try since it has lots of protein and not much sugar. Surprisingly, I loved it!

Pink lemonade is a huge hit in this house when it’s hot and sunny outside. I have two toddler girls in the house, so anything pink is a hit. Thursday we had a bunch of strawberries that were on their last leg, so I wanted to use them fast. Smoothies are always a great way [...]

The easiest way for me to make sure I get a healthy, complete meal quickly is to make mason jar salads on Sunday night. Talk about a lifesaver when I come in from toting my little one’s around all morning and need food fast…but not fast food. :) I spend about 30 minutes Sunday night [...]
Guacamole is one of my favorite things to eat, especially when friends are coming over. It’s so easy to make and everyone will taste the difference when you make it fresh. In my guacamole every ingredient is fresh, including the garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeño. First I cut up the avocado into 1/2″ – [...]
New frozen yogurt shops are popping up on every corner. I can think of five that have opened within a few miles of my house, in just the past couple of years. While they advertise as being healthy, it takes one look at the ingredients to see they aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. [...]
I love this refreshing, bright combination! If you are in Atlanta, GA or Charleston, SC, you may have enjoyed a popsicle from King of Pops. The orange-basil popsicle is one of my favorites! Ever since I had one, I have enjoyed adding orange slices and basil to water, so today I decided to put in [...]
