Easy Chicken Stir Fry, al fresco​ style!

It’s time for another al fresco Tuesday!! By far my favorite day of the week. The love affair with al fresco continues. I don’t think I’ll ever get over how delicious their products are AND how easy it makes my weeknight dinners. I’ve talked about this many times before but after cooking all day long, IContinueContinue reading “Easy Chicken Stir Fry, al fresco​ style!”

Tostadas, al fresco style!

I am BEYOND thrilled for this partnership with al fresco! I have been a long-time user of their chicken sausage. Like addicted. I love it because it’s all natural, lower in fat than traditional sausages, and the sausages I buy are FULLY COOKED. Talk about a time saver. Pretty much any meal that I makeContinueContinue reading “Tostadas, al fresco style!”

Celebrate National Ice Cream Month!

It just so happens that July is National Ice Cream Month! It must be no coincidence that July is also the biggest grossing month of ice cream sales as well. With ice cream on the brain, I’ve been whipping up (literally) so many no-churn ice cream recipes! No-churn ice cream is a great way toContinueContinue reading “Celebrate National Ice Cream Month!”

Breakfast Toast

This recipe was developed for Milk Means More. Breakfast is my favorite meal. I love sitting down to a breakfast packed with eggs, veggies, fruit, whole grains, dairy, pretty much the whole nine yards. Sometimes though, mornings tend to be chaotic and I need to be awake extra early (UGH). That’s when I grab aContinueContinue reading “Breakfast Toast”

Red, White, and Brunch

The 2018 Winter Olympics are here and I have Olympic fever. So much so that I’ve been making all my food red, white, and blue in support of Team USA. I haven’t done this yet, but the idea of an Olympic brunch sounds AMAZING. I’m talking mimosas, eggs benedict, assorted pastries, AND a red, white, andContinueContinue reading “Red, White, and Brunch”

Dairy: Don’t Mind if I do!

There’s a lot of very bad nutrition information out there. Like really bad. Sometimes I can’t sleep at night bad. Usually written by people that know nothing about actual nutrition (bunch of Jon Snows). They have no degrees in the subject, no experience working with it or researching it, but what they do have isContinueContinue reading “Dairy: Don’t Mind if I do!”

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bars

It’s freezing cold in Michigan (like NEGATIVE 10…WHAT IS THIS) and I think we could all use some healthy yet hardy oatmeal bars to start our day. This breakfast will fuel you through digging out your car and freezing your buns off on your morning drive to work. These can be made ahead of timeContinueContinue reading “Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bars”
