Garlic Pesto Snow Pea Tortellini
Garlic Pesto Snow Pea Tortellini… a long title, but worthy of every bit of it. Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best ones. I threw together this tortellini on a whim when Sister Chef saw a package of fresh tortellini at Aldi and told me …
Caramelized Beets
I know that beets continue to be a contriversal subject, you are probably in the LOVE IT or in the LEAVE IT school of thought. If you are of the LEAVE IT mindset, not matter how much I try to convince you otherwise, you aren’t going to want to try these delicious red gems of flavor.
Here in our house we have what is called a “try-it” bite. We must try all the food, at least a bite, even if we think we don’t like it. Did you know that it can take up to a dozen “trys” of a new food before we actually grow to like it!? For us parents, that can be a bit of a challenge as we continue to make our kids try foods, but around here it isn’t too much of a struggle since Sister Chef knows if she doesn’t like it, she doesn’t need to eat it all (NO, we do not make her special meals – but we do always make sure that we know at least a large portion of dinner she will like, and if all else fails as she has really tried, I always can cut up some fruit or veggies for her, but since we always encourage try-it bites, her love of variety of flavors is more diverse than many adults that I know!)

Sauteed Beet Greens

Chocolate Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a go-to breakfast staple for young and old. Thanks to Instant Oatmeal, we can go from oats to breakfast in less than two minutes in the microwave. The health benefits of oatmeal stick with you long after the dishes are done. The satisfied feeling of a nice warm breakfast also stick with you up until lunch time so you can avoid unnecessary snacking (unless of course you want a snack – then go for it, but since you are probably still full from breakfast, you won’t need the snack)!
Baked Oatmeal is an amazing way to get all of the health benefits of Oatmeal without the texture that some people don’t like from a bowl of oatmeal. In addition to getting a totally different mouth-feel by baking your oatmeal, you can also add in whatever amazing flavors you want to baked oatmeal. Seriously – I love Oatmeal, it is such a blank canvas for whatever you want to add to it!!! Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal
