So, we’ve made it through Valentine’s Day and probably have a few extra pounds from the delicious dinner and yummy chocolates to show for it. Me, I’m recovering from a trip to Vegas where we ate and drank so much delicious but definitely unthealthy things đŸ˜‰
So, it is time to get back on the healthier food wagon stat because bathing suit season will be here before you know it {shudder}. Breakfast is definitely one of the best places to start when working to make healthier choices. I’ve shared my busy morning breakfast and my favorite green smoothie recipe and, today, I’m sharing one of my other favorites: broccoli and cheese egg muffins.…

New Pizza Favorites – Make Your Pizza Your Own
Between the holidays and then gearing up for major Football games in January and February, March can seem pretty sparse when it comes to activities. Unless, of course, you are a basketball fan! I don’t watch much basketball at all but love a good reason to invite friends over to hang out and a sports game is always a good one. With time being at a premium these days though, I don’t go all out with a full spread and tend to stick to things like pizza and chips with dip. Of course, that doesn’t mean, I just typically flop any old pizza on a plate and go with it. Nope, I find some #NewFavorites, like flavors DiGiorno just introduced, and make them even more delicious with a few extra touches.

Easy Dinner Strategies – Tips to Get Dinner on the Table
One of our goals for 2014 was to save more money. Part of that comes with making changes to our lifestyle so that we have more extra money hanging around to actually save. One of our ways to to do that: eating dinner at home. We’d recently fallen into a routine where we ate out pretty much every meal from Friday through Sunday. Our new plan was to limit that to one dinner and one lunch per week. That meant I needed a plan to get dinner on the table even on our busiest nights. Want to know how I do it?

15 Oatmeal Cookie Recipes
I’m what you’d call a cookie addict. Cookie Monster and I could totally throw down over some cookie love and I bet I would win. There aren’t many cookies that I dislike and I could probably replace most of my meals with them. In an effort to at least feel like I was eating somewhat healthy cookies, I went in search of cookies that had oatmeal in them. I came across 15 oatmeal cookie recipes that looked so good that I just had to share them with you.

My Miele Story
Let me give you a little insight into how I normally spend my late fall/winter {say October through February}: 10-15 doctor’s appointments between my two kids, at least 10 sicks days between the two and lots of tissues, runny noses, and medication to get every one healthy. Oh, add in my normal 5+ sicks days from catching what ever the kids have had and you’ve got a pretty good picture of our winter.
Now, let’s talk about how THIS late fall/early winter has been. Two doctor’s appointments {one for each kid}, zero sicks days for them or me and not one single antibiotic between us all. Yep…not one!
Those doctor’s appointment: one had a cold and one had a something in her eye. The only one of us who got sick was my husband and his was vertigo while we were in NYC.
So, I am sure you are wondering what changed?
