I first tried chilequiles when I was in Mexico a while back. I was so impressed with how simple the dish was – tortillas and salsa, served with eggs. Eggs are one of my favorite go-to foods. While Josh will only eat them at breakfast, I love them any time of day. They’re wonderful prepared … Chilequile Frittata
Lately I have been called the “smoothie queen” because I have had lots of practice making them in the past year with my kids cooking classes. It’s fun to play around with different flavors and get people excited to drink something that can pack a lot of nutrition. My dad recently had oral surgery and … Banana Split Smoothie
My Memorial Day weekend was full of excitement and fun with old friends. It also was loaded with comfort foods! I’m starting the week off right with these overnight oats. Not only are they extremely simple to make, but they provide you with a quick and yummy breakfast for the whole week. This version is … Red, White and Blue Overnight Oats
Growing up in West Virginia, I was fortunate enough to be exposed to lots of unique dishes (hot dogs with coleslaw and chili…yes please!). One dish that always stands out in my mind are biscuits and gravy. When I texted my mom to tell her I was making a healthier version of biscuits and gravy … (Better-For-You) Biscuits and Gravy
Today I taught a class on plant-based foods. Cooking trends are always changing and one “hot” item on the market right now are chia seeds (I don’t think our parents ever imagined eating them…). These seeds are actually a member of the mint family and are a wholesome source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, … Double Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
Unlike several of the customers I talk to, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I always make time for it. The key to a balanced breakfast is including a protein, carbohydrate and fat to keep you full and satisfied until lunch. Although I’m normally a peanut butter girl, one of my friends … Almond Butter Banana Bread
I absolutely love breakfast. I’m often struggle when people tell me they don’t like it because, for me, I’m always ready to eat when I wake up. During the week I often eat the same thing (and yes, it’s super healthy…) – sprouted grain toast with peanut butter and a sliced apple. But weekends are … Chorizo and Potato Breakfast Tacos
I love brunch foods and the combination of roasted sweet potato, sautéed bacon and onion is one of the best smells you’ll ever wake up to. This dish is the perfect combination of sweet and salty. Top it with a small amount of freshly cracked pepper and a dash of hot sauce and you’ve got … Sweet Potato, Apple and Bacon Hash
Being home for Christmas brings back all kinds of food memories for me. Whether it was walking into my Grandma Heringhausen’s house and smelling the standing rib roast or walking into my Grandpa Hetzner’s house and smelling the pies baking, each memory is so special. This year my mom decided we should make my great-grandma’s … Grandma Link’s Cinnamon Rolls
I haven’t met many people that don’t enjoy a hearty Mexican dish. When Josh and I traveled to Mexico last March we ate chilaquiles every morning for breakfast. Although it’s commonly even for breakfast topped with an egg, I love it for any meal! It’s so comforting and it’s one of the easiest meals you … Chicken Chilaquiles
