Overnight Oats

Tina6 Comments

I’m obsessed with oatmeal. I’ve been loving hot oatmeal for breakfast lately.  There’s something so delicious and comforting about it.  It’s warm and hearty and makes a delicious autumn meal.  I prefer the plain kind (I may have gotten this preference from my husband) and then I top it with fruit and cinnamon.  Blueberries are my favorite to add but we’re getting to that time of year when they start to get crazy expensive and they stop tasting good (really a rather bad combo).  Now I’m using raisins instead, and those are perfect all year round. A few months ago …

Mexican Style Stuffed Sweet Potato

Tina0 Comments

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.

Sugar Cookie Bars

I love sugar cookies but I really dislike rolling them out. I’m too much of a perfectionist and I get very frustrated rolling out each cookie to be the same exact thickness.  I have this same complaint about gingerbread cookies too.  My solution is simply avoid cookies that involve this step. These sugar cookie bars are a perfectionist’s dream because there is essentially no perfection required.  I don’t have to fuss at all while making them.  In fact, not only are they easy (and stress free) to make, but you can whip them up quickly with minimal dishes to wash. …

Tuna and Rice Salad

Tina3 Comments

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.  The answer is to plan ahead, prepare, prepare, and prepare some more. The first thing I decided to do was to pick out my outfit …
