Oven Roasted Broccoli

What the what?  Is this a recipe for green healthy stuff right in the middle of the holiday cookie baking season?  Yes, but it’s only a minor detour. The other day my husband told me that we don’t eat enough veggies.  We’ve been kinda surrounded by cookies, bagels and pizza.  Remember a while back when I mentioned that I was in a “food mood” where I only wanted to eat pizza and bagels?  Well, I have gotten a little bit better at eating healthier, but not 100% based on my husband’s comment. I was determined to answer my hubby’s request so when I went to the …

Baked Acorn Squash

I’ve been wracking my brain, trying to come up with a dinner recipe using this acorn squash.  We got it at a local farm and it’s been sitting in the fridge looking to be eaten.  In the end I decided to make it the way that my husband loved it as kid.  He convinced me to post about it because despite it’s simplicity, it’s worth being showcased.  I can never remember which squash is which.  Let’s be realistic here, there are tons of different kinds and a lot of them look kind of similar.  They are all squash after all. …

Crispy Baked Onion Rings With Chipotle Ranch Dip

My youngest sister came over for a visit on Saturday and as always we had a blast.  We started off our day chatting while we sipped our favorite iced coffee beverage, a Cafe Frappe.  Then we got down to business, snack time.     😉  She was in the mood for comfort food and I was in the mood for something healthy.  There just had to be a way we could both win on this one, so I thought “how about we combine both and make baked onion rings?!” These onion rings are the tastiest and crispiest baked onion rings that …
