Guess where I’m headed tomorrow? Vegas! It’s time for Joel’s annual work “retreat” where they work for a couple days then all the significant others come and have a fun filled 3 day weekend. I’m kind of excited and kind of freaking out. This is the first time I am leaving Hannah and I know

Copycat Chipotle Chicken
We very rarely eat fast food around our house but when we do we always go for sandwiches or Chipotle. My meal of choice at Chipotle is always the chicken burrito bowl with brown rice, black beans and hot salsa. A few months ago, my mom made a cilantro lime rice and black beans that was very similar to
Whole Wheat Pizza Rolls
Remember that fun dinner I talked about on Wednesday using whole wheat pizza dough? Well, here it is. Whole Wheat Pizza Rolls baked in a muffin tin. Noah had a lot of fun helping me roll out the dough and spread the toppings. He’s been really into helping me in the kitchen again which means he’s super
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Whether we are eating clean or not, something Joel just can’t live without is pizza. So I knew I would have to find a whole wheat pizza crust so we could splurge a little. And turns out, it’s pretty darn good. He asked me why I was able to eat it…he couldn’t even tell it was
Homemade Nut Butters
I have a Pinterest board called Storebought to Homemade with all kinds of DIY recipes for delicious items from the grocery store.

Man do I love me some fried chicken. Like, it would be my last meal kind of love. But I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I eat it in a year. Especially now that we are eating clean for Lent. Why is it that you crave something so much when you just can’t have
Roasted Garlic and Bacon Guacamole
I absolutely love magazines but rarely buy them but when I saw this one last week I just couldn’t resist. Yikes…not good for the whole diet thing. Seriously, 108 bacon recipes! That’s just crazy talk. This guac recipe is not from the magazine but can you tell I had bacon on my mind? I whipped up a
Cauliflower Mac-n-Cheese
Since I’ve started dieting, the thing I’ve missed the most by far has been pasta….and bread. But mostly pasta. I’m kind of a carboholic if you hadn’t noticed by now. A big pasta craving struck recently so I went to my pasta pinterest board in hopes that I had something somewhat healthy there that I
White Chocolate Raspberry Skewers
Looking for a last minute, quick, incredibly easy yet still festive dessert for Valentine’s day? Well, I’ve got you covered. These adorable white chocolate raspberry skewers take less than 5 minutes to put together and are so simple, even a 3 year old can do them (with supervision of course). Literally, Noah did some of these. He
