We are taking a last minute road-trip to visit my family in Colorado for the long weekend.  The nine hour drive with a busy 11-month old who hates his car seat has me terrified.  Any traveling tips?  Sleepy drugs?  Just kidding.  But while I'm stuck in a car for the next ten hours someone please enjoy one (or two or three) of these fudgie rice krispie treats for me. … [Read more...]

 Chopped salads are popping up all over the interweb.  And every time I see one I think to myself, "Ooh I've got to make one!"  I love chopped salads.  Forkfuls of finely chopped romaine lettuce loaded with lots of yummy toppings and plenty of dressing are just the best kind of salads.   Don't you think?   I finally got around to making this version of a chopped … [Read more...]

I've teamed up with Fiber One to bring you some fun and super easy cereal mix-in recipes using some of my favorite Fiber One cereals.  I'm kind of a cereal junkie so this was fun for me! I eat it for breakfast, snack on it during the day, and love having a bowl before bed sometimes (I consider it dessert!).  But cereal is not just meant for milk and bowl, the things you can do with it … [Read more...]

lemon pepper asparagus

How do you like your asparagus?  I almost always prefer it roasted, prepared with some extra virgin olive oil and a little salt and pepper.  No matter how you like it, it's a super easy and healthy side to serve and I just can't get enough of it come spring time.  This time I decided to roast it with a little lemon pepper and feta cheese.  The lemon pepper gives it a pop of … [Read more...]

Last week I caught some sort of stomach bug.  Nothing sat well with me, I was nauseous,  and nothing ever sounded good.  (And no, I'm not pregnant.)  It wasn't great timing for me as I was prepping for my half marathon on Saturday.  I ate bland, snacky foods all week to try and calm my stomach.  By Friday I was feeling a little better and knew I needed a real … [Read more...]
