As part of my challenge as a Food Lion Ambassador, I wanted to see what I could buy with the $150 we were sent to shop with. I was able to buy all the food and supplies for Eric’s birthday party, and all of our food for the next week, with a little bit left [...]
I’ve been following weight watchers online for about seven weeks now, and I love it. I’ve lost 8lbs already, and feel like their new Points Plus system is totally maintainable as a lifestyle. I wanted to share our variation of a delicious Skinnytaste-inspired recipe with you. Here’s the original, and below is our version. 1-3lb [...]
I spent about 6 hours over three days making the recipes for this month, plus about 2 hours of inactive/simmering time. This included about 30 minutes prepping the sauce and 2 hours cooking it; 2 hours prepping all the veggies and preparing the honey chicken, sesame chicken, and balsamic chicken bites, and an hour preparing [...]
This week, we have a four-day work week. Exciting! We’re working on doing more meal prep on the weekends so our weeknights are more relaxed–part of this includes trying more slow-cooker and freezer meals. We’ve done a stellar job eating through our freezer and pantry, although we have more stews left in the freezer to [...]
Would you believe I got to age 30 without ever making chicken salad? Yeah, me neither! Especially considering it’s one of my favorite foods. This is a recipe I made up to use some shredded chicken from the freezer. It made a big batch, and tasted awesome! To speed things along, I did all the [...]

The recipe below includes my variations. 1 c. quick cooking barley 1 c. parsley, finely chopped handful of walnut pieces, chopped 2 peaches, [...]
Eric is playing golf this afternoon, so before he left, I wanted him to carve the chicken we’re having for dinner (uh, since carving comes after putting a whole chicken in a pan and rubbing it with spices before it bakes, and I wanted to have dinner ready for him when he got home from [...]
Today, I decided to bake some chicken to keep on hand for meals and snacks this weekend. In a baking dish, I combined: 3 (still frozen) boneless/skinless chicken breasts I splashed them with a little bit of EVOO (about 2T, I’d guess), and sprinkled them with: Salt (coarse sea salt) Pepper (freshly ground) Garlic powder [...]

So, I put into the crockpot: 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, frozen Sprinkled them with flour, salt and pepper Then added: 2 cans low-sodium cream of mushroom soup [...]
While my turkey sausage cooks for breakfast this morning, I thought I’d post a few updates from the last week’s cooking. Apologies for being slack–I started a new, very demanding (but awesome!) job that is taking up a lot of my time that I used to spend cooking, baking, and reading. I’m trying to find [...]
