Lemon lentil chicken and rice

February 2, 2015 by Angie

One pot lemon lentil chicken and rice is a healthy meal the whole family will love!

Confession: I tried Lentils for the first time 5 months ago at a food bloggers conference I attended.

It’s not really my fault though. I come from a meat/potato/vegetable background. Nothing wrong with it, we fall back to that routine in our house quite often.

However! It’s 2015 and my goal is to start cooking different things, whether it’s new items or just changing up the usual meals. Not too long ago I messed with our potatoes big time when I added Indian spices. Look at me go!…

Cheesy beef lasagna

February 1, 2015 by Angie

Nothing says family dinner like a big pan of Lasagna!

I can’t speak for everyone around here but I’m so happy January is over. I must have spent 99.9% of the month sick. I’m hoping this recent cold snap puts all the germs at bay!

Since I’m finally feeling better we invited my parents over for Sunday dinner. I have this picture in mind where we have fancy dinners that I cook all day, set the table with pretty plates and glasses… That is so opposite of what actually happens. We end up sleeping in until 10, have pj morning that some how turn into 3 pm and rush out to the grocery store to get something for dinner. Luckily I have Campbell’s to save the day!…

Almond joy brownies

Rich chocolate brownies with a coconut and almond filling, covered with chocolate ganache.

Heyyyy high five, it’s the weekend!

I’ve been eating oatmeal and salad all week trying to get ready for our trip across the border. I lost two pounds so now it’s time to celebrate with brownies! And that is why I’ll be on Weight Watchers for life. I lose a few pounds and automatically go for chocolate! Although with WW you do get those precious flex points so all 49 of mine will be allocated to these almond joy brownies. Probably in one sitting. That’s why I’ve stuck with it for so long. Any plan that allows cake is a plan for me!…

Indian spiced potatoes and vegetables

January 26, 2015 by Angie

Indian spiced potatoes and vegetables are full of color, flavor and mildly spiced.

Part of my 2015 goal was to try new things. Also I’m supposed to be drinking more water, less diet pepsi. That is not going so well! However, I have stuck to making new things for dinner. So yay me! And yay you if you’re sticking to your plans!

I saw a recipe online for Indian spiced potatoes, made it awhile back and loved it! Now I can’t find it so I had to go by memory. Scary if you’ve ever seen the sticky note collection that organizes my life….
