Mango, Black Bean and Couscous Salad
Posted in: 4 WWP, Food Photos, Lunch Ideas, Salad Ideas, Side Dish Ideas, Snack Ideas, Vegetarian Ideas | 6 Comments
I’m so glad I noticed the aging mango on the counter this morning. It’s what totally inspired this dish. I was hungry and I thought it would be fun to build a meal around the mango.
SO I dug through the pantry and fridge. First I remembered I still had some fresh herbs from last weeks farm trip. SCORE! Next I thought.. ok.. I need some kind of base to the meal….. Click here to continue reading Mango, Black Bean and Couscous Salad >>>

Simple Salmon Salad
Posted in: 3 WWP, Appetizer ideas, Food Photos, Party Ideas, Snack Ideas | 5 Comments
I made this simple salad on a whim today. Gina totally inspired me with her Shrimp Salad on Cucumber Slices. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make something to serve on cucumber slices. It’s a GENIUS idea!
So that’s what I did today with a single serve salmon pack. I received a bunch of seafood products in a price pack I won at the Perinatal Nutrition Working Group’s booth at BlogHer. Now you must know when I entered the raffle I didn’t KNOW I was pregnant. Click here to continue reading Simple Salmon Salad >>>

Sweet Sausage and Vegetables over Bulgur
Posted in: 9 WWP, Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Toddler Approved | 6 Comments
WOW I can’t believe I received no complaints about dinner tonight. Not a single one! And we even ate bulgur and green beans. ;) Two ingredients that get mixed reactions in my household.
I made something similar to my quick Sausage and Pepper idea but used bulgur instead of pasta and added green beans to the sauce simply because I had them. Really any vegetables would work and I was actually mad at myself for forgetting I had some summer squash in the fridge. Click here to continue reading Sweet Sausage and Vegetables over Bulgur >>>

Idea: Parmesan Dusted Chicken Fingers with Whole Wheat Pasta and Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Pasta Ideas, Toddler Approved | 12 Comments
This idea just popped into my head when I started thinking about what to make for dinner. I gotta be honest, I haven’t gone grocery shopping since coming home from the beach. I just haven’t been in the mood and I decided to use what I had on hand until my trip to the CSA farm this Friday. I can’t wait to see what goodies got harvested this week!

Cheesesteak Wraps
Posted in: 8 WWP, Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Lunch Ideas, Sandwich Ideas | 7 Comments
I’m so glad I had leftovers!! I used the London Broil from yesterday, a green bell pepper and some onion to make the most delicious wrap!
It worked out great as I had friend over for lunch today. The 6oz was perfect to make two loaded cheesesteaks. I decided to use a wrap to make it fun, light and full of fiber. Plus, I really didn’t have any other options. ;)

Dry Rubbed Pan-Fried London Broil
Posted in: 3 WWP, Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Toddler Approved | 12 Comments
There are a few meals that I forget about which make wonderfully easy, delicious family pleasing dinners. London Broil is one of them.
London Broil is actually not a cut of meat although I always see packages of beef listed as such. I believe it’s a cooking process. Generally I buy choice cuts that are labeled "London Broil" which are about 1 inch thick and a pound. It’s more then enough for us and allows me to cook dinner up quickly having just enough leftovers to make a cheese steak or two the next day.

Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancake Waffles
Posted in: 3 WWP, Breakfast Ideas, Food Photos, Toddler Approved, Vegetarian Ideas | 5 Comments
What’s a pancake waffle you ask? Well it’s my answer to not really knowing the difference between waffle and pancakes. I *THINK* waffles generally contain a bit more fat and sugar to crisp up more but I’m not sure. Normally I just use pancake batter in the waffle iron leaving them in long enough to crisp up and I’ve never had a problem. Then again I’m not known to follow any traditional rules when cooking. If it’s tasty and we like it then what’s the problem? Click here to continue reading Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancake Waffles >>>

Ask Roni: School Lunches
Posted in: Ask Roni Q&A | 11 Comments
I have 2 sons, one in preschool and one will be next September. I have to pack them snacks for school and I really don’t want to keep relying on processed snack food for them. What kind of snacks do you give your little boy so he can avoid the processed food trap? Do you have some healthy kid-friendly snack ideas? Fruit just goes so far with my kids!

Sorry for my absence. I was living it up in NYC at BlogHer! Of course what does the husband want to have for dinner my first day back? Pizza. ugh.
My solution… Order a small to minimize leftovers and make a simple salad on the side. Genius right?!? Sorry.. patting myself on the back for this one. Pizza is by far me weakness. So I had one slice and a cup of this salad for a wonderful, satisfying dinner! Click here to continue reading Quick White Bean, Tomato & Spinach Salad >>>

I came home from work with a mission to cook a healthy meal with the little guy. I had defrosted scallops, some minute rice, and fresh sugar snap peas. Add in some pantry items like lime juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Viola! A 20 minute meal. Click here to continue reading Quick Scallops with Rice & Sugar Snap Peas >>>

Quick Curried Chicken Salad with Peas
Posted in: 6 WWP, Food Photos, Lunch Ideas, Salad Ideas, Sandwich Ideas | 13 Comments
I have confessed my dislike of mayo many times. Most recently on my Garden Tuna Salad with Feta idea. Unfortunately this dislike of one particular condiment has kept me from enjoying some pretty tasty traditional sandwich salads like tuna and chicken.
Honesty, I never understood peoples fascinations with these deli favorites. What the big deal anyway?
