Gingerbread Martinis (Without the Guilt)
Give me a gingerbread cookie and I’m a happy momma. Give me a gingerbread cookie I can drink, one for adults, a little something to sip at a holiday party or while wrapping gifts on Christmas Eve, and I’m happier than my kids on Christmas morning! We had our own little Christmas party this weekend and I’m happy to say I put my previous bartending experience to good use and whipped up some delicious concoctions that are easier on the waistline and cleaned up a bit too. I’m looking forward to another one of these on Christmas Eve, snuggled up in warm blankets, Christmas slippers on, and watching It’s a…

Black Bean Lentil Stew
On Sunday’s we crockpot. Football, crisp autumn air, crunching in the leaves, wearing scarves, eating soups and stews out of cold weather bowls and getting that warm, fuzzy feeling. This meal was created by total happenstance. I wanted a crockpot dinner but didn’t have a plan so I worked with what I had. And it worked. My husbands words: “Oh this is good. It’s not to tomatoey.

This made for a yummy one dish meal and I topped mine with a dollop of low fat…

Macho Nachos!!!

Well, after tonight’s dinner, it’s definitely going to be a thing in our house! Our 6 year old raves about the macho nachos she has at school. Chips, taco meat, and covered in cheese- that kind from the can. Yeah, I’m drooling. But being the Fit Mommy that I am, I wanted to create a healthier version that we can all enjoy, without the guilt! Ingredients: 1 lb lean ground turkey 1/2 cup fresh salsa 1/4 c chopped onion 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp cumin…

Dark Chocolate Shakeology Granola Bars
It’s 10:00 pm. Do you know where your husband is? Mine’s in the pantry. Eating something with peanut butter. If it’s not him it’s me. Usually I need chocolate too. So I needed a solution. Something that would make for a good “late night bite” without feeling like I’m ruining the days nutrition. Sorry Ben and Jerry, but you guys don’t play fair. Last night I whipped these up and stick them in the fridge. My girls loved them for breakfast and I’m snacking on one as we speak. Hopefully I’ll have some left when my husband gets home from his trip tomorrow! Dark Chocolate Shakeo Granola…
