Crispy Roasted Potatoes

I wouldn't consider myself a non-computer person, but I also would not consider myself a savvy computer gal.  I get by and know how to do the things I know how to do...you know what I mean?  Anyway, I have been putting off creating food recipe videos for a while because it is out of my comfort zone, but yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and create my very first video with a super simple recipe that happens to be one of my favorite side dishes!   My crispy roasted potatoes are perfect for any night of the week and can be served at breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Immune Boosting Citrus Smoothie

Happy Monday guys!  How was your Easter weekend?  I hope it was filled with chocolate, friends, family, and maybe a little rest too!  We had a great weekend spent playing outside in the sprinkler, hunting for eggs, and stuffing our bellies full of BBQ.  I have however been battling a cold, and while it hasn't made me feel horrible, it has got me sneezing and my nose running like crazy.  Whenever I feel my body starting to get sick or worn down I always try and rev up my smoothie intake because I can cram a ton of good ingredients into one drink!  My citrus immune boosting smoothie is just the kind of drink that I will be sipping on all week long and I figured you might need it too

Leftover Cereal Granola Bars

This week has already been a doozy and it's only Wednesday!  Parks has all four, one-year molars cutting at the same time and poor baby has a low grade fever, stuffy nose, and is not his usual peppy self (aka he's cranky cranky).  But who could blame him?  Teeth cutting through your gums just sounds like an awful thing all babies have to go through...good thing we don't remember it!  His appetite is down, which never happens, and we are both pretty exhausted from lack of good sleep and it's definitely weeks like these that I am so glad that I have a batch of my leftover cereal granola bars hanging out in the freezer for easy grab breakfasts or snacks for me and Parks!

Healthy Whole Wheat Shrimp Pasta with Kale Pesto

Thanksgiving is over...did you make it through?  Are you still in stretchy pants?  Because it's totally okay if you are.  If you had a week anything like mine, you are probably trying to get back on a the healthy diet bandwagon (if not for only a few weeks before Christmas) and are looking for recipes that aren't lacking in the flavor department.  My healthy whole wheat shrimp pasta with kale pesto is just the kind of one pot meal that will have you forgetting that you are eating something completely good for your body.

Pumpkin Spice Butter Coffee

Y'all, I did it!  I had my first cooking demonstration last weekend, made it through, and actually had an amazing time!  I have to say I was a little nervous because I have never done this sort of thing before, but the crowd was amazing and everything went as smoothly as I could have hoped for!  It was a whirlwind of a weekend, and while it was so much fun, I am dragging this week.  I am already counting down until Friday.  Give me all the caffeine please and give it to me now!  One of my favorite ways to get some good energy first thing in the morning is to drink butter coffee.  I drink it every morning before the gym and decided to give it a little twist.  My pumpkin spice butter coffee is so delicious and in my opinion, it is better than any pumpkin spice latte that you could ever hope for!

Easy Breakfast Taco Egg Scramble

We go through eggs like crazy at our house.  Six out of the seven mornings in the week you will find eggs on all of our plates, Parks included.  Scrambled, fried, poached, boiled, in omelette form, I love them any way I can get them!  I am always trying to find new ways to cook them to switch things up, however this idea came from my hubby who happened to sprinkle a little taco seasoning on his boiled egg and couldn't get over how good it was.  My easy breakfast taco egg scramble is going to be your new favorite eggcellent breakfast. (See what I did there...)
