This not so little burger was messy, juicy and jumping with flavor! Napkins are a must with this healthy burger. It’s also a great way to get greens into your day…even for the kiddo’s.

Stuffed Pepper Pizza

My Hubby came home early yesterday for a long lunch. So while he was taking a dip in the pool I decided to serve him a little lunch poolside.

Super quick and easy and we were both enjoying lunch poolside! Continue reading

Taco Tuesday: Mexican Beef~Meat Pie

When I was growing up my mother made a dish called ‘Tom’s Taco’s‘ and although I didn’t like it much when I was young, I had the memory of it recently. After reading her recipe, I quickly went to work changing it into something I would enjoy. I kept the Frito’s, because I remembered that was the best part. Here’s what developed… Continue reading
