[RECIPE]: Salmon Cakes
I was telling my neighbor that we needed to fold in more seafood into our diets, as we get used to having the usual staples - chicken, ground Bison, chicken sausage, etc. She is the queen of healthy eating too, so she when she offered to whip up a batch of these Salmon Cakes for a weekend trip we had with our families, I had to have the recipe and fold them into our meal plans.

I used to be really good about making my kids baby food. Then, I decided to have a third, and then, a fourth kid. Now, every once and again, the Baby may just have a day of pouches, for her meals. Yes, #badmom, right? At least they are generally organic. :D

[RECIPE] Chocolate Shakeology Pie
This Chocolate Shakeology Pie is hands down, my favorite "clean treat" to make. It's filling, nutrient rich and best of all, GUILT-FREE!

I make this every year around the holiday, as it keeps me honest to my goals, without feeling like I over did it, and fill up with regret. Plus, it's always a hit with whoever tries it, and they are shocked that it's made with Shakeology. And, kids love it too!

[RECIPE] Sweet Potato Casserole
I love the holiday's. Not only is it a chance to get family together and focus on love (sappy, sappy!), but we get to eat SWEET POTATOES!

Well, at least in my family.

Although, come to think of it, doesn't really take a holiday excuse to eat sweet potatoes. I could have them morning, noon and night, 365 days a year. Seriously. I love them. And the nutrient benefits, are bar none!

Every year, I try and perfect my Mom's infamous Sweet Potato casserole. I've healthified (is that even a word??) it as b…

I love that my Mom and I share an interest in make some tasty Fall recipes, a little bit more healthy! She was just here for a visit for Halloween, and loves to make us dinner, and has been raving about this dish she made, so asked if she could make it for us. Don't have to ask us twice!!

There is something to be said about the labor of love in making your own pesto. It's relatively easy and you know EXACTLY what's going into it, and how much oil.

Now, we aren't total stickler's when it comes to m…
