Tilapia-Crab Bake

The last few months I’ve been in a bit of “dinner burnout”. Since returning to work, the huge amounts of energy required to keep my family fed have seemed almost too much at times. I’ve resorted to cooking the same very boring dinners over and over…and over. A few nights … Continue reading

Quinoa Nuggets

When I shared our glorious quinoa pass, I was bombarded with cheery congratulations from tons of people. (Thanks again!) One of those lovely folks, Wendy, shared on my Facebook page that she makes quinoa nuggets for her kids. Her instructions were simple: “Puree cooked quinoa with Real Salt, a little … Continue reading

Salmon Stuffed Mushrooms

There’s no fabulous story behind this recipe. I just got bored with the dinners I’ve been making and started throwing things together in the kitchen! It’s a bit of an interesting combination, but in the end it turned out pretty delicious. The grocery store had some gorgeous mushrooms this week, … Continue reading

Cilantro Lime Chicken Skewers

Now that summer is in full swing, one thing we’ve started up in the Summers household is using The Grill. I love the grill because Darrel is in charge of grilling (less work for me) and other than wadding up the foil and throwing it away there are no dishes … Continue reading

Dairy, Egg & Gluten Free Chicken & Rice Casserole

Well, it’s been a little serious here lately, what with probiotic trials, paper eating, and Mommy Meltdowns, so I’m lightening it up a bit with a new recipe today! When Jed was first diagnosed with MPI (Milk Protein Intolerance) I struggled mightily in the kitchen.  ALL of my limited cooking … Continue reading

Hearty “Vegan” Creamy Chicken Soup

So here’s the story: it’s Monday afternoon, and time for me to make some dinner for my family.  I’ve fallen out of my meal planning routine months ago, thanks to Zac and Jed’s food issues (I have to get back into that!) and I have NO idea what to make … Continue reading

Vegan Cheese Quesadillas

I had to share this with you!  This was dinner for the boys last night: Pretty unremarkable looking, I suppose…until you find out that these quesadillas were made with homemade vegan cheddar that TASTES GOOD!!! I wish I could take credit for this recipe, but I cannot.  The brilliant mind … Continue reading
