    Thai Peanut Zoodle Bowl

    I’ve been on a cooking kick lately. Not just the same old staples.  But adding in a lot of variety and yummy, exotic flavors too.  And all in less than 30 min.  Ain’t nobody got time for being in the kitchen all day. Last week I was craving curry.  So I made a yummy chicken curry chickpea cauliflower stew. It was heavenly and Anniston, my 5 year old, loved it too. Yesterday I meal prepped zucchini, toasted quinoa, and tomato egg muffins for breakfasts for the week. They have not disappointed. Today spicy Thai peanut noodle bowl.  Only I didn’t have noodles.  But I did have zucchini.  Today’s zoodle bowl…

    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…
