Burgers are a staple in our house. My husband requests them at least once a week. Normally I make them with an 85/15 blend of ground beef to make sure they are nice and juicy. I was a little nervous to tell him I was switching things around and making Turkey Burgers. He was a…

Meal Prep Chicken
Chicken breasts are a blank canvas. You can pretty much season them with anything and they will taste great. This is especially important if you are meal prepping for the week. There is nothing worse than eating bland, boring chicken for a couple days in a row. Chicken has so much potential! You just have…
Skinny Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes are one of the most comforting foods around. However, they are not one of the most healthy. Made with potatoes, loads of butter, whole milk, sour cream and cheddar cheese…definitely not a dish to eat when you are trying to eat healthy. These mashed potatoes skipped the fat and extra calories and instead,…

Strawberry season is almost here! It is so much fun going to the strawberry field and coming home with a big batch of fresh strawberries. I found some beautiful strawberries this Saturday and instantly knew I wanted to try and find a healthy alternative to traditional strawberry shortcakes. These start out with a light and…
Slow Cooker Pinto Beans
Growing up, my sister and I spent a lot of time with our Grandparents. My Grandma loved to cook and one of her favorite dishes to make was a big pot of pinto beans. As I watched her cook, she would explain to me the step by step process to cooking the perfect pot of…
Roasted Chickpeas
I absolutely love chickpeas. I normally use them in a cold chickpea salad (recipe to come later). Chickpeas are considered a true superfood. In a 1 cup serving they provide all of the following: 268 calories 12.5 grams of dietary fiber 14.5 grams of protein 4.2 grams of fat 84% manganese 71% folate 29% copper…
Carrot Hummus
I love hummus and how creamy and satisfying it is. There is not a flavor I have tried that I did not love! Traditional hummus has roughly 70 calories per serving and 5 grams of fat. Imagine my delight to find carrot hummus! Carrot hummus has 50 calories per serving and only 2.5 grams of…
Chicken & Veggie Kebabs
With this unexpected warmer weather in February, I am itching for all things summer…especially anything grilled. I made these chicken & vegetable kebabs with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, green & red peppers & purple onions on a grill pan. The thing that I love about making this dish is it is super easy to prep…
Greek Yogurt Bowls
All 3 of my boys had basketball practice last night. That means we were at the gym from 5:30 until 8:30 last night. I was a bad Mom and had to buy Wendy’s cheeseburgers for dinner 😦 To try and undo the damage from our on the run dinner last night, I made these Greek…

If you are like me, you are always looking for a quick, easy, no-fuss lunch that can be prepared ahead of time. I found these wraps at Harris Teeter and quickly fell in love. They only have 90 calories per wrap, which is less than 2 pieces of bread. Plus each wrap has 9 grams…
