Believe me when I say, you need to make your own baked french fries. Not only are they way healthier than than the kind you pick up in the McDonald’s drive thru or grab while strolling through the freezer aisle, but they taste much, much better and you can control what goes on them.
I’d rather take eight minutes to slice and toss my own french fries in the oven than pay for the corn-syrup soaked ones you can buy for 99¢ at McDonald’s.
I drink tea everyday. Every morning and every night. And when I do, I usually drink tea I make myself or Tazo Tea. I’m sure you’re wondering how this doesn’t become boring. Well, my dear friends, this is how.
Introducing: Turmeric and Ginger Tea. (AKA: the reason I don’t have as much inflammation problems…)
I really love this tea. And I mean really, really love it. This tea is just what I need to wake me up in the mornings. I rarely drink coffee anymore (not that I don’t looove coffee). It is super refreshing, perfectly spicy, and extremely tasty. Not to mention how healthy it is for you.
I am going to be honest with you.
If after eating one of these popovers, you may feel slightly…overcome with a yearning to eat about nine more, at which point your friends and family will wonder whether or not they’ll get tackled if they grab one of the other two. Try to refrain from doing this at all costs.
Whole Wheat Popovers are one of those foods that make you want to do a little dance, for three reasons. (1) They are amazingly airy and delicate, (2) they are so easy to make that even a ten year old can do it, and (3) when you use healthy ingredients like whole wheat flour and organic milk and eggs, making whole wheat popovers can be a great choice for a healthy snack.
Making something delicious doesn’t have to be hard, complicated, or cost a lot of money. All it takes is a little determination, and a great recipe. And boy is this a great recipe. Whole wheat pita pockets are practically a staple food in my house. We eat them on a weekly basis. And with such simple ingredients, they’re so inexpensive to make.
You can do all kinds of things with pita pockets. One thing I love to do is use the rolled and risen dough as pizza crust, for individual pizzas! It saves time and it’s even whole wheat.I usually like to put tuna salad in them, and I’ll throw in a little handful of sprouts if I remember to start them. (For helpful tips on making your own sprouts, I’ve located a quick and easy guide here.) Other times though I’ll cut it all the way open and slather on some creamy peanut buttery goodness, some raspberry jam (did you know that raspberry has a P in it?), and call it a PB & J Sammich. Heck, if I feel like it, I’ll use it like a tortilla and toss in some Mexican cheese, homemade “refried” beans, a little lettuce, you know, the works. [Read more…]
Light and creamy BLT pasta salad, ready in 30 minutes! Made with simple, fresh ingredients, every bite is packed with summery flavor.
I’ve always been a huge fan of 30 minute meals.
They just make life easier. None of that “standing over a hot stove for an hour and a half” nonsense. Most of us don’t have time for that—we’ve got full, busy lives. And when dinner time rolls around, at that point you’re already exhausted.
Which is why a simple, 5-ingredient meal is exactly what you need.
