An easy recipe for black beans, made with onion, garlic, and salsa! Quick, healthy, and delicious when paired with Spanish rice and whole-grain tortillas. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Improved No-Mayo Cole Slaw
This creamy, no-mayo cole slaw hides a secret ingredient that makes it luscious and delicious! Sweet and tangy, this is a very kid-friendly recipe. Some of my older posts are in dire need of updating. Like a lot of food bloggers, when I started out, my photog skills left a good deal to be desired….
Flourless Muffin Cup Potato Latkes
Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, these flourless muffin cup potato latkes are healthier than the fried version and so much easier! Well, hello there on a Sunday! Last week, a post of mine went up on a Saturday due to technical issues on the bloggy here (it was originally scheduled for…

Fireball (or Not) Spaghetti Squash ‘Hash Browns’
My husband and I had an interesting conversation recently. With our respective loves for fitness and food, you can imagine what our chatter revolves around.
