We have Mexican food for dinner at least once per week, sometimes more. Some recipes are more intensive than others but my favorites are the one dish meals. When we want low carb, I go for the Tex Mex Stuffed Peppers or Chicken Fajita Cauliflower Rice Bowls. I love making enchiladas but I found a far better and easier way to make them with this enchilada casserole. I based it loosely on my Mexican Lasagna that is also very delicious. For this recipe I decided to use corn tortillas because ... read more

Pink Grapefruit-Walnut Detox Smoothie
If you follow me on instagram or if you know me in real life, you know that I drink a lot of smoothies. They're a great way to make sure I get all of my daily fruits and veggies in, and they're also quick and delicious. But I've gotten into a bit of a smoothie rut. I tend to make the same combo over and over: greens, carrots, strawberries and banana. It's getting old. I noticed everyone else in my house suddenly losing interest in my smoothies as well, so I guess I wasn't the only one feeling ... read more

There were several varieties in my store include rice and corn but I went with the Gluten Free Chocolate Chex™. I figured we'd be adding chocolate to the cereal anyway, ... read more

DIY Crayon Heart Classroom Valentines
For some reason, I can't stand crayons that aren't perfect. We had a box full of broken, unwrapped, sample-sized and other misfit crayons and I wanted no part of them. They had to go, I hated them. But I loved the idea of making something new, useful even from these throw-aways. Make studs out of these duds! I've seen countless pins on pinterest on how to make heart-shaped crayons using your own sliced-and-diced bits and pieces. This is what worked for me. I found this Wilton Ruffled 6 ... read more
