Detox Soup |
My first hand account of the ongoing search for health and wellness through a conscious focus on nutrition, cooking, ingenuity, and physical exertion. As an active stay at home mother of two young children, I spend large portions of my day in my kitchen inventing new recipes and reinventing old favorites into fun, healthy and delicious meals my whole family loves... especially while on the run... literally.

Whole Wheat Pound Cake
Whole Wheat Pound Cake |
I made this corn cob cake for my son's 11th birthday this past fall when he had his party at a corn maze. It was a huge hit with the kids and the parents, and it wasn't just because of the jelly beans that took me almost two hours to place. Crazy, I know, and as one of my mom friends commented, "you have way too much time on your hands." Definitely not true, I just chose this cake as a priority one afternoon and made sure I got it assembled in time. Of course, in the name of nutrition, I used more than half whole wheat flour, and all organic ingredients to make this, so it's definitely better for you than something you would buy in a store, or the "pound cake" that comes in a box and lasts for months on a shelf. Definitely not the same thing. I have been meaning to make a chocolate version of this recipe, and promise to post it as soon as I get around to baking it. Just remember to eat this dessert in moderation so you don't end up gaining a pound too! ;)

Happy New Year!
Happy 2016!!! First of all, I want to apologize for being out of touch these past couple of months. Between the holidays, birthday parties, coaching both of my kids in soccer, and now basketball, along with all of the regular events life has thrown my way, I haven't had much time to sit and write. But I have been cooking. And I have been creating new recipes that I am anxious to share with everyone this year. I have over 40 drafts that are just waiting for me to edit and write an intro for, and then I will be passing them along quickly. So if you are a first time reader, or a faithful follower, please keep coming back, as I promise to make 2016 my best year yet!
A few recipes in the works:
