Currently I have a bit of a granola surplus on my hands. I recently took a bit of a hiatus from the grocery store and I ran out of Greek yogurt (my favorite vehicle for enjoying granola) so I knew I needed to get a little creative and use of some of it up in […]
So remember when Erica posted these Jalapeno Cheddar Turkey Burgers? Well, I tried really hard to wait patiently for nice grilling weather so I could make some burgers on the grill….but apparently we’re heading straight into another week of rain, so this weekend I just gave into my craving and made a batch of burgers […]
“The best chicken I’ve had.” That’s what the hubby said to me last night while eating this. He said “Bean, this is the best chicken I’ve had.” I said, “Ever?” He said, “Yes.” So there you have it. It’s that good, and it couldn’t be easier. Inspired by this recipe from Tessa that I’ve been […]
This, my friends, is TBS. The. Best. Salad. EVER! Actually, it’s so good that I’ve eaten it for dinner two nights in a row. That’s right. The exact same salad. And quite honestly, I’ll probably eat it again tonight. What can I say…I’m a creature of habit. In fact, if it weren’t for my hubby, […]
This is what two hours in the kitchen on a Sunday morning can get you: That would be 10 meat muffins, 6 turkey burgers, 1 pan of lasagna (baked in 3 individual pans) and 2 containers of spaghetti sauce. Also known as “what the hubby will be eating on Tuesdays and Thursday evenings for the […]
An easy, homemade version store-bought Wheat Thins! **Pictures updated 2/2015** Over the weekend I made a batch of Homemade Wheat Thins thanks to a deliciously simple recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod. They were simple to make and taste even better than store-bought! If you’re a cracker lover like me, give them a try! […]
Ever since Kerstin posted these Indian Saag Naanburgers about a month ago, they’ve been lurking in the back of my mind. I had some ground turkey in the fridge that was ready to be used today, so I started brainstorming. I thought about an Indian Turkey & Lentils dish that I made a few weeks […]
A few weeks ago, I came across a recipe for a Tex Mex bake that involved barley in the March issue of Rachel Ray’s Magazine. I’d been thinking about using barley as my pick of the week for a a couple weeks and this seemed like a good way to ease into it since […]
Hold on to your socks, folks! Because this recipe could possibly knock them right off! My friend Sarah told me via The Lean Green Bean facebook page that she was looking for a recipe for banana cookies. She told me they could have peanut butter and chocolate chips and even oats! I personally love banana […]
Normally I’m pretty good at managing my time. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say I’m great at it. I’m a busy girl, and I do a pretty good job of getting everything done on time, and in an organized fashion. I’m also slightly obsessive. Obsessive compulsive when it comes to things […]
