What’s Cookin

Everyone knows that salmon is a very healthy protein with their Omega 3 Fatty Acids. I have had, consistently with my two other pregnancies, an aversion to salmon while pregnant. However, it is very important for my family as well as me to eat it. So I decided to find other ways to make it a little less salmon-y. I […]

I love brunch. I love brunch even more at my house since my kids cannot sit still for two seconds. This way I can drink my coffee leisurely and actually enjoy my food.

The best part of this one is that it uses applesauce in place of a lot of sugar so it makes it lower in calories. Coupled with […]

So awhile back I tried a Black Bean and Quinoa dish. I fessed up that although I have had quinoa at restaurants and enjoyed it, I have never actually made quinoa and liked the end result. You people, a.k.a. my wonderful readers, gave me lots of recipes to try. I’m going to give Jessica Shiffman yet another call out, I’m […]

I try to cook a nice dinner every Friday in honor of Shabbat. Although, try can be a loose term 🙂 This week I tried a recipe I found in the local Pioneer Press newspaper. I felt like this was a little “out of the box” for me. First of all, it called for smoked salmon. I cook salmon but […]

I like to think of myself as saucy, so I thought…hey why not try saucy green beans with chicken 🙂 I’m a big, HUGE fan of Lisa from Bites for Babies for many reasons. First, she runs a blog about feeding her baby in a nutritious, unique way. I’m after the same thing, duh. Second, she comes up with really […]
