I’ve been on a kick for finding healthy lunch recipes that I can make ahead of time to bring to work and today’s recipe is a new addition to the rotation. I love sweet potatoes. My husband is not as much of fan as me so if you’re like him, then feel free to use a regular baked potato instead. It’ll still be super tasty, I promise. I’m not into eating meat lately, so this is a wonderful vegetarian option. It also happens to be “healthy.” I use quotations because everyone has their own definition of what’s healthy. I consider …

Tuna and Rice Salad
How does one save time getting ready in the morning? Monday through Friday I feel like I’m rushing in the morning to get everything done on time and out the door for the office. I’ve been driving to the same office for years, but the traffic has gotten worse. A couple of months ago I decided to reevaluate my morning routine and revise it to get things done early enough to make it to work on time.

Tomatoes and Feta with Polenta
Never underestimate a dish built on the foundation of only tomatoes and cheese. It works for a classic pizza, right?

However, I remembered that I had some polenta hidden in the back of the cupboard. Suddenly …
Ragu With Pasta
Do you have a routine that you do before you go on vacation? I do (and maybe that’s not surprising for those of you who know me). Routines are not a bad thing, but I probably take on more tasks than are necessary. I’m sure when my husband, aka editor, reads this post he will shake his head because he knows that I’m crazy about my routines. I like to start packing a few days before we leave and I iron everything, including my t-shirts. That’s normal, right? 😉 I do laundry, including the bed sheets (the day before we …
Breakfast Pizza
Have you ever made a breakfast pizza? It’s life changing. I took all of the usual egg breakfast suspects, added some mozzarella cheese, put it all on a piece of Naan bread, and I’m calling it a breakfast pizza. Guys, this is my favorite breakfast right now. No joke. As with any personal pizza, you can dress it up however you like. If you want to skip the bacon, then go for it. If you want to add waffles on top instead of eggs and potatoes, then… well, a carb on top of a carb might be weird but I say do …
