Quinoa is so yummy. Paired with the roasted butternut squash and sweet currants make this dish extra special. You can serve this as a main course vegetarian meal over a bed of lettuce, or as a side dish with your roasted chicken or fish. This is how we do it…(that is a song that is stuck [...]

Orange & Cranberry Quinoa with Chicken
This was one heck of a busy holiday season for me. Not only was I busy but I also over indulged in all the holiday foods. I kind of have a food hangover! Not fun. I am going to get a head start on eating healthy again, and this is the perfect meal to start [...]

Hoisin-Chile Shrimp with Green Beans & Walnuts (Clean Eating)

Clean Eating: Whole-Grain Apple Muffins
It is nice to enjoy a muffin every once in a while. These muffins are a little dense, but full of flavor and extremely moist. At 110 calories per muffin, what’s not to love. I am so intrigued by the many different “flours” that are available these days. You have your whole wheat, your whole [...]
