Somehow my very busy sisters, mom and I had a free morning to get our families together for brunch today. It was a last minute decision (with about an hour’s notice) and I needed to make something quickly. I googled breakfast casseroles and found this Baked Oatmeal Casserole recipe – perfect.     I had to […]

I LOVE banana bread but not all the refined flour and sugar that it is typically made with so I found a healthier version at Chocolate Covered Katie. I adapted it slightly to the one I posted below. Kudos to Katie for a fantastic recipe! This, of course, does not taste exactly like banana bread […]

A couple of years ago I discovered the delicous Almond Butter Espresso Cookies by Brittany of Eating Bird Food. I loved that it was gluten-free, dairy-free as well as vegan and vegetarian. My only lament, it contained sugar. I few weeks ago I decided to see if I could modify this recipe to one that […]

A little goes a long way with granola – it can be high in calories but it is packed with healthy fats and fiber-filled carbs. Ideally I will eat no more than 2 spoonfuls per day to give me my daily fiber, nuts and seeds. When I started with 21 Day Fix and I decided […]

Allrighty … When I initially heard that Ultimate Portion Fix(UPF) was coming out I was thinking – WHY????  What could you possibly add to 21 Day Fix to make UPF worth the purchase. Well …. the easy answer is A LOT!  I always enjoy learning about healthy eating and knowing what’s best for energizing and […]

Over a year ago I changed my Instagram handle to PBandJen and with that, I made it my responsibility seek out and share healthy recipes with peanut (or almond) butter in the ingredient list.  This has been a YUMMY past-time! My followers and subscribers keep asking me for links to those recipes, so I decided to consolidate my list […]

I made this recipe for the first time in years!! Keep in mind that I use this recipe as a guideline. Since the two heads of cabbage I purchased for this yields far more than 5 cups, I just include all of the cabbage and double the quantities used for the dressing. When I made this […]

While making my monthly chicken bone broth one weekend, I wondered how to make egg drop soup. After doing a quick internet search, I found that it was really easy to make. I made a few tweaks to the ingredients to make the recipe healthier…I replaced soy sauce with coconut aminos  and cornstarch with tapioca […]

This is the first flourless cookie I ever made. I LOVED it. The first time I made it, we kept the uncooked balls in the fridge and popped it in the toaster oven to cook when hungry. The next time we baked the cookies and kept them in an air tight container. It tasted great […]

If you love lemon you will devour this treat!  I get so excited when I can find a delicious snack I can eat guilt free – this one moved to the top of my list. I was inspired by other paleo lemon bar recipes that I found, made a few versions and until I developed this […]
