Black Bean, Corn, and Quinoa Bowl

 One of the easiest and filling recipes I threw together. You can substitute rice for Quinoa - as my hubby likes to do! Pretty delicious for a quick meal!

Caprese Stuffed Mushrooms with Balsamic Glaze

This is such a delicious side dish for any meal! Super easy and if you go light on the sodium and cheese it's very healthy! Can't wait to make these again! Another trick: if you substitute Basil for Spinach, it adds a very delicious twist! Let me know what you think!

Real Banana Crepes with Strawberry Filling

 As you can tell, with the holidays coming up, I'm straying from my usual "healthy" recipes to some rather "less healthy" ones. Hmmm.. next post I will be back to the health nut recipes! If you want a "healthier" version try this:
- Use skim milk
- Instead of softened butter use coconut oil
- Instead of white flour, use oat flour or wheat flour
- Use honey instead of maple syrup
- & instead of toppings, use only fresh strawberries and honey
Trust me, they will still taste delightful!

Hope you enjoy!

Holiday Favorites: EggNog CheeseCake (left over eggnog to drink too!)

 It's getting closer to Christmas (even though it is still in the high 80's here in Florida)! My favorite time of year! I'm usually not an eggnog type of chick, but my husband loves it so I decided to suprise him with a sweet treat! This was my first cheesecake made from scratch and I must say it turned out pretty good! My husband raves that the eggnog was even better than moms recipe (sshhh don't tell!!). Lol But really, I think whipping up those eggwhites before mixing them into the nog makes it so creamy and delicious!

Healthy and Delicious Stuffed Peppers

 Made this delicious delight for lunch a few days ago and I will surely make it again! What a healthy and yummy experiment!

Healthy Santa Fe Stuffed Peppers

( Serving Size 2) 

(OOPS forgot to finish recipe - place pepper on a bed of quinoa after cooked) 

 

This recipe is so very easy & delicious!! This is definitely going to be one of my over replicated dinners :) There are so many different ways to make this dish, but here is the recipe I threw together. Enjoy!

The Perfect Pumpkin Bread with Pumpkin Buttercream Frosting

I normally am NOT a pumpkin bread fan, but this was absolutely delish!! This is definitely a dish you want to bring to your next fall party! It is super simple to make, just make sure you let your bread cool completely before adding the frosting! I don't usually like to post unless its a super healthy dish but this one isn't so bad compared to other cakes - especially if you leave off the frosting for your treat :) Let me know what you think :) Enjoy!
