Becca's Fab Five Snacks.... and How Amazon Saves My Waistline!

Becca's Fab Five Snacks.... and How Amazon Saves My Waistline!

We don’t snack a lot at our house. Generally speaking, we eat meals when we are hungry and then we don’t eat in between….as a general rule. But I love snacks. I especially love snacks when we are on car trips, when I am hiking, and when we are camping. Occasionally, I also find myself in a sticky situation where I really need to eat and a meal just isn’t an option. Enter the Snacks (complete with Superhero cape) to save the day!

Strawberry Shortcakes- Grain Free and Delish!

Strawberry Shortcakes- Grain Free and Delish!

I LOVE A GOOD STRAWBERRY!!!

Strawberries are in season here in Central Florida and I am in heaven. I love taking the boys to pick them fresh, eating them right out of the field. I love seeing them with red juice dripping down their chins and strawberry mud on their fingers. And I REALLY love turning the strawberries into delicious, healthy eats! You will love these Strawberry Shortcakes. The shortcake portion can easily be amended into Blueberry Muffins or cinnamon muffins, too. The recipe makes 3 jumbo muffins or 6 regular muffins. I suggest doubling it! ;-) As an extra bonus, this can be made without a mixer and is easy enough for my four yr old to essentially do alone with just supervision.

All Your Nutrition Questions... ANSWERED!

All Your Nutrition Questions... ANSWERED!

The crux of the matter is that many of the questions can be lumped together because they are all so wrong that it doesn't even matter what the question was in the first place. The very QUESTION is wrong. The answer is so much simpler than the question actually!

Sneaky Snacks for Active Families

Sneaky Snacks for Active Families

As a beautiful afternoon corroded around a group of moms desperately searching backpacks for any semblance of an edible crumb, I jogged to my car and pulled out my Super Snacks. For once, my Super Mom cape was starched, ironed and flowing beautifully behind me.

Haka House Meal Prep--- Saturday and Sunday

Haka House Meal Prep--- Saturday and Sunday

Our life is really busy with two kids and running the gym! Saturdays, I work in the morning. So, I only do a little prep on Saturday as I don't want it to take away from family time. Most meal prep for us is done on Sundays. I like to wake up before everyone else and have some alone time to do the majority of it. The rest I do throughout the day. So here goes... See How to make it happen during the week HERE!

Creamy Herbed Chicken (or pork chops)

This recipe can be done in the Crock pot or you could do it in a cast iron skillet with a lid (place it in the oven for 4 hours at 280*). The herbs and the heavy cream lend flavor and moisture to meats that might otherwise be dry, like pork chops or chicken breasts.

Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise

Mayo is so easy to make! Just do it. The stuff at the store is so full of crap and mayo can actually be a really healthy part of what you eat when made properly... Can I get a hallelujah on that?!?!? We use this in our favorite Awesome Sauce and for Tarragon Chicken Salad!

Ropa Vieja

Ropa Vieja

This is not a traditional Ropas Viejas. Hell, I can’t even pronounce that right. So, who am I to claim I’m making it right? I can verify that it is delicious and that it can be made in an InstantPot, a Crock Pot, or (my favorite) a Dutch Oven and I’ll explain how to do it for each.

Bone Broth Basics

Bone Broth Basics

Bone Broth is a big part of my cooking regimen. Over the years, I have made it many different ways- Crock Pot, Instapot, on the stove. All of these are good ways to do it…. the key is to just do it. The method of cooking changes little more than the cooking time. I drink bone broth on many days and use it as a means of mitigating longer fasting periods.

Fall Wild Rice Soup

Fall Wild Rice Soup

This recipe came from a deep need to do SOMETHING DIFFERENT with the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Good Lord, did we really need a turkey that big? It seemed like a good idea at the time….. I started with this beautiful recipe from GimmeSomeOven. I changed it based on what I had on hand and it was amazing! It makes a huge amount the way I did it. So you might plan to make this and freeze some or use it for an easy dinner party.
