Make Meal Planning a Habit – 7 Day Meal Plan Included

Meal planning!  Make it a habit!  It’s so much easier to eat healthy if you have a plan.  And weeknights go so much more smoothly because you don’t have to wonder what to make…it’s already planned out.  And if you meal plan and check it daily, you can thaw your meat the night before.  When you sit down to plan, check your pantry/fridge for the foods/ingredients you will be using and...

Grain Free Sandwich Bread

Hello!  It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything.  I’ve been making a lot of the same things over and over and well, life gets in the way sometimes. But I wanted to share with you this bread recipe I’ve been making very often since last March.  It’s very easy and extremely tasty! This bread requires the use of a lot of eggs.  Thankfully, I’m at a point that I can tolerate...

Grain Free Sandwich Rounds

I have been making these grain free sandwich rounds for quite some time now and figured it is high time I share the recipe! These are so easy and awesome tasting. In fact, they are actually kind of neutral tasting which is what makes them so fabulous! They go with anything! (Yes, they are yellow looking, but one bite and you'll forget all about the color!) I have made regular “turkey, lettuce...

If you want to make this sandwich for yourself,...

BBQ Shredded Pork Sandwiches

How about a sandwich meal?  Simple and not very time consuming at all, the crockpot is your friend for this recipe. Enter…barbeque shredded pork. Did you know there is a secret to cooking meat in the crockpot?  Not only should you trim any fat off, you should brown the meat or broil it first.  I have always trimmed off fat, but since browning or broiling the meat, the meals have turned out...

Sloppy Joes With Real Vegetables

Have you seen those commercials on TV?  The ones where a little girl is dressed up as a sandwich (sloppy joe) costume and she is in a school play?  It’s a play about vegetables and she “belongs” in the play because that particular sloppy joe mix has vegetables in it.  Well, I beg to differ, but I highly doubt that can qualify as a serving of vegetables.  Especially when you take into...

Fast and Easy Turkey Burger

Do you need a quick weeknight meal?  Something easy to put together and that requires few ingredients?  Today’s recipe is just that.   In fact, it is so easy; one can hardly call it a recipe. Today’s meal idea is made from ground turkey. It does lend a different taste than beef, but it is only slightly healthier than ground beef.  I had always assumed it had less fat than beef, but when...
