Granola Medallions

Granola Medallions

It’s that time again…back to school! I always find it such a chore to come up with new and creative lunch ideas when packing school lunches. I get stuck in a rut of packing the same old things day in and day out. Usually at the beginning of the year I have all sorts of great […]

Thai Coconut Shrimp Soup

April 14, 2012 by Megan 11 Comments

Thai Coconut Shrimp Soup

Sometimes I feel like making something a little more exotic than the usual vegetable or chicken soup. I thought a Thai soup would liven things up. Cole had been leafing through my collection of cookbooks and was particularly interested in the recipes with shrimp, so I had bought a package of frozen shrimp for him. This […]

Quinoa, Sweet Potato and Chickpea Stew

Quinoa, Sweet Potato and Chickpea Stew

I wasn’t expecting to win anyone over with this recipe. My boys hate sweet potatoes, Cole hates spinach, and Tony isn’t all that fond of quinoa. I made it anyway because I love all of those things. Surprisingly, everyone ate this stew without complaint. I think it was the chickpeas that did it, or as Cole would call […]

Granola Brittle

Granola Brittle

Every now and then I come up with a recipe that I just can’t wait to share, so I impatiently bump it to the front of the line of recipes to post. This is one of those great recipes. I’m giddy just typing about it! It’s sort of like a crunchy granola bar, but broken into uneven […]

Vegetable Chili

Vegetable Chili

I don’t know about you but after all the delicious and fattening food I had over the holidays, I’ve been craving veggies in a big way. This chili, being packed full of vegetables, really hit the spot. Tony and the boys loved it too. It was easy to tell, because all three of them polished off […]

Turkey Vegetable Soup

Turkey Vegetable Soup

After indulging in far too many unhealthy treats during Christmas, I’ve been starting to crave wholesome and nutritious foods that have been sadly lacking in my diet lately. I happen to have a lot of leftover turkey in my fridge, as I’m sure many of you do, so this soup was a perfect way to use some of […]

Roast Chicken, Potatoes and Beets

Roast Chicken, Potatoes and Beets

If you’re looking for a classy dinner that’s easy and cheap, then this meal is the perfect solution. I normally cook with boneless and skinless chicken, but it seems to be really expensive lately, so I decided to try bone-in and skin-on chicken legs with thighs. They were much cheaper, and I was very impressed […]

La Compote de Pommes (Apple Sauce)

La Compote de Pommes (Apple Sauce)

I’ve been pretty impressed with how many fun fall activities both Cole and Bennett have been doing at school lately. Bennett has had a field trip to the library, hosted a tea party for the parents, and roasted pumpkin seeds. Cole has gone to the pumpkin patch, learned how to curl, and made pumpkin pie. One […]

Sweet Potato Brownies

Sweet Potato Brownies

I’ve been disheartened by my family’s lack of interest in yams and sweet potatoes so I stopped using them for a while, but when I was in the grocery store the other day the sweet potatoes seemed to be calling to me and I couldn’t help grabbing a few of them. I wasn’t exactly sure what to […]

Tofu and Vegetable Stir Fry

August 30, 2011 by Megan Leave a Comment

Tofu and Vegetable Stir Fry

Whenever I make stir fry I wonder why I don’t make it more often. It comes together quickly, it’s good for you, and best of all, my kids will generally eat it. I find if I throw noodles into the stir fry they’re more apt to enjoy it, so that’s why you’ll find most of my […]
