Minestrone Soup

Minestrone Soup

It was 65 degrees here in Colorado last Friday, so naturally it makes sense that it would snow eight inches on Sunday night. School closures all over northeast Colorado! Almost makes me wish I was still in school…..almost. We have had about a week of extremely cold weather and then it was just beautiful for a few weeks. When I was going through the weekend weather forecast on Friday (which I do several times during my show), it said that it would be windy, cloudy, and chance of snow but less than an inch was possible. Well let’s just say they were about 6-7 inches off from that forecast. It was windy though! Snow drifts were all over the place. [Read more…]

Turkey Meatballs

by

We definitely live in beef country here in northeast Colorado, but I happened to have turkey on hand! You could make this recipe using lean ground beef or even ground chicken.

I was craving spaghetti and meatballs for dinner so I headed to Pinterest to find some recipes to start with.

I found one I liked at HeAndSheEatClean.com called “Power Meatballs”.  I was a newby to this blog, but I will have to go check it out again! [Read more…]

Mediterranean Chicken Pizza

The USDA did a study on pizza consumption and well, they found out that Americans eat a lot of pizza. Is anyone shocked by this?! I for one, am not. I love pizza. I would much rather make my own so that I know exactly what is in it. Donny & I threw this pizza together rather quickly the other night. We cheated and bought an already-made whole wheat pizza crust from Target. Probably not the healthiest crust ever, but definitely not the worst either. One of these days I will tackle making my own whole wheat crust…… [Read more…]

Smoked Chicken Lettuce Wraps

by

This is by far one of my favorite meals and it also happens to be one of the easiest! Perfect. Lettuce wraps are so refreshing and they can be made using whatever ingredients you already have. You can even use leftovers from a different meal to make these. I am telling you, the possibilities are endless.

Donny & I got the idea to make our own lettuce wraps after we ate at La Sandia Cantina in Denver. It is one of Richard Sandoval’s many restaurants and he really caters to gluten free. You can get tacos and fajitas in lettuce wraps instead of tortillas. They are amazing! [Read more…]
