There are some good recipes this week for things you might normally not think to make at home, like crackers and fruit roll-ups. Most of the time, like with these recipes, it really doesn’t take all that much to make something at home instead of buying a pre-packaged version. Not to mention that you then have much more control over what goes into your food. Is there anything you’ve tried making at home that you used to only buy pre-made at the store? I make all my bread at home and cook beans from scratch instead of buying canned. Sometimes, I’ll make granola and granola bars too!
a nice change from traditional chicken salad
make good use of that summer squash that is overflowing from your garden by throwing it on a pizza
you could also toss that summer squash in a salsa to eat on chicken or fish, mixed with brown rice or wheat pasta, or with tortilla chips!
fresh spring rolls look much more intimidating than they are. they’re easy to pack for lunch too!
make a blended chai latte at home to beat the heat and save some money (..and calories!) at the drive-through
there’s no reason to avoid eating veggies when you can eat them with pizza flavored hummus
no need to buy fruit roll-ups or fruit snacks packed with all kinds of shady chemicals when you can easily make homemade fruit roll-ups with fresh fruit. the only thing your kids (and you!) will notice is how much better the homemade version tastes 🙂
it may be hard to find good fresh mussels in kansas, but these coconut curry mussels look fantastic
making your own crackers is much easier than you might expect. these life changing crackers are packed with nutrients because they’re made with real food…something most crackers on store shelves can’t claim.
I can’t even describe how amazing these greek chicken plates look. lean protein, grains, and loads of veggies make it a perfectly balanced meal.
it may have been 100 degrees outside today, but this tuscan summer minestrone soup looks insanely delicous. this might be my lunches next week….
…I know, another soup…but this thai corn curry soup would be perfect with all the super sweet corn in season right now
if you want a fast, easy weeknight dinner that your whole family will love, look no further than sweet balsamic glazed chicken
This is for Real
