Almost Eggless, Egg Salad

Growing up, I was always a big fan of egg salad, macaroni salad, and potato salad. They were each so rich and creamy! However, as I got older and more calorie conscious, I developed an aversion to all “salads” of the mayo-based type. Since there are alternative ways to make these salads, I felt using mayo was just not

Leftovers strike again!

 Last night I finally received my Magic Bullet!! I have never been much of a smoothie drinker but new gadgets = Erin’s entertainment!! On top of that, there are so many more advantages to drinking a smoothie, over drinking juice! You not only get more nutrients and fiber, but all the fruits and veggies typically blenderized have high water

Have you ever tried it? It’s a slightly bizarre food, but when I think of the way other fruits and vegetables look, I wonder who ever thought…hmmm let’s

Happy Birthday To Me!

As promised, I wanted to share pictures from my birthday celebration last weekend. I feel that there is no better way to spend a birthday than with your family.  My parents always make me feel extra special and even have little ”birthday parties” for me.  My mom always makes a delicious cake and has birthday presents to open. I literally

How To Make A Veggie Burger

 Quesadillas were on the menu last night, but since I made Angela’s, from Oh She Glows,  “In a Jiffy Spelt Veggie Burgers,” the other night, it was all I was craving! Luckily, I had leftover patties in the fridge!

Whole Wheat English Muffin, 1 Veggie Patty, 2 T roasted red pepper hummus, 1 slice Kraft

Two Bean Tamale Pie

I am sad to see such a fun weekend come and go. We went out with friends both Friday and Saturday night and just had a blast. On Sunday we caught up on chores, got in a grocery shop, and watched the movie The Blind Side. I loved Sandra Bullock in this film. Anyone else
