Jamie is here today to weigh in on our healthier options for Thanksgiving. I posted a non turkey main dish and a salad and she is here to post a side dish. Ok, ok…..who DOESN’T have the classic (and very processed) green bean casserole on their table for Thanksgiving? I admit it, we have had […]
Cranberry Spinach Salad {Thanksgiving Recipe}
It is hard to believe in two weeks we will be rushing to the store to grab everything we need for our Thanskgiving meals. We have all seen a million different statistics about holiday weight gain, and you don’t need me to repeat them to you. When it comes to holiday eating, I like to […]
Cranberry Orange Pork Loin {Thanksgiving Recipe}
Something Other Than Turkey I can’t believe it is already time to start thinking about Thanksgiving. If you are like me, I am not a huge fan of turkey. Although I don’t host Thanksgiving, if I did, I would cook something in addition to the traditional turkey as an option for the main dish. It […]

Grilled Pizza
Going out for pizza or a quick, easy dinner seems to be the weekend ritual for most families. In both of our houses, grilled pizzas have turned into our weekend ritual. Just like going out, these are quick and easy. We know it is not the healthiest meal of the week, but it sure beats […]
