It is hard for me to believe that Skye is four weeks old today. I actually cried this morning at how fast it is all going. (Yeah, you should pity my husband. I’ve got hormones and I know how to use’em.) While I look forward to the time when I can sleep again, I also [...]

Although I love complicated flavor profiles, every mom needs a few basic dishes in their arsenal. Last week I mentioned that because of the arsenic in rice issue that I was converting most of my rice dishes to quinoa. We already eat a lot of quinoa around our house (I’m sure that is shocking), but [...]

You know what my idea of a great meal right now is? Anything the hubby can make and the kids will eat without fussing. In my ideal world, both of these things happen while I prop my feet up and wonder when baby Skye will make an appearance. (FYI – I think I have at [...]

This week has been a challenging one for me. Last weekend was Christian’s 7th birthday and to start the weekend off we took the boys to the movies. Seems like a safe activity, right? Hmmm…not so much. I somehow managed to pick a broken theater chair to sit in. To be clear, I am not [...]

Today I ordered all of the “preparing for birth” supplements recommended by my midwife. When I sat down to do it it didn’t seem like that big of a deal, but by the time I was done reading all of the reviews and figuring out which ones to get I had a freak out moment. [...]

I can’t believe its only 8 more weeks (give or take) before I have a little girl! Every time I open the closet and see the tiny clothes hanging, I panic. With the boys I was the picture of preparedness. I read every book I could, knew all the theories on infant sleep and literally [...]

If you’ve been around here long, you know that once upon a time every third recipe I posted was a burger of some sorts. In the early days before I really opened my eyes to all that could be done with quinoa, burgers or salads were the extent to which my creativity went. Once I [...]

One of the best ways I’ve found to stick to healthy eating is to find new ways to enjoy your old favorites. Some of my favorite “hacks” are the addition of cauliflower to macaroni and cheese, using applesauce and bananas in baking and of course using quinoa to improve the nutritional profile of dishes. Today [...]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! (Ok, so technically as I write this it isn’t the new year yet, but by the time most of you read this it will be.) I love New Year’s because I thrive on change and the idea of new beginnings. Like many of you, I’ve been thinking about how I want 2013 [...]

Can you believe it is almost 2013? It feels like a couple of weeks ago 2012 was starting and I was writing about all the goals I had for the year. Some I achieved, many I didn’t – though in my defense I was thrown quite the loop for the second half of the year [...]

I can’t decide if I’m excited or stressed out. My parents are coming to visit in exactly a week! That shouldn’t be such a big deal should it? Well, the things is that they haven’t traveled to visit me since my 6 1/2 year old turned three and we surprised him at Disney World. (I [...]

Today was a good day, but it was one of those days that didn’t go completely as planned. I had planned a productive morning testing a few recipes for the website. On the agenda was a new vegetable burrito recipe, a (veggie) sausage and spinach bowl and a new salad recipe. My plan was was [...]

I have always wanted to be one of those people for whom healthy eating seems effortless for no matter what the situation. You know what I mean. The kind of person who can go to a restaurant and order a steamed vegetable plate not caring that they are spending $8 on, well, steamed vegetables. (That [...]

It’s hard for me to believe that it has been almost a month since I last wrote. In some ways the time has flown. In others ways a month ago feels like another lifetime. It feels like a lot has changed in my world and I needed to take a step back to catch my [...]

Life seems to go in stages for me and I’m guessing most of you. I’ve had blissfully happy and abundant times and times where I honestly didn’t know how I was going to keep on going. Through the dark times I’ve learned that as long as my family and loved ones are safe and [...]

It’s no secret around here that I really love Mexican food. People ask me all the time how I can run a single subject food site without getting bored. Sometimes I do, but to be honest most of the time I could probably run a website that had nothing but Mexican quinoa recipes and do [...]
