Here’s a healthy, spicy sandwich wrap that tastes great with roasted sweet potato wedges or a handful of Terra chips. If you make one wrap, and serve each half with a cup of soup, (this is a good one) then the wrap is sharable. for 2 whole sandwich wraps (4 halves) 2 Tablespoons peanut butter…
Here’s what I whipped up for our lunch today. Delicious, spicy and satisfying. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips! The great northern beans naturally mash up during the mixing process, lending a smooth texture that combines well with the other ingredients and makes this dip yummy and interesting. I use all low-sodium options for my…

I’m an ice cream lover. I don’t know many people who aren’t, come to think of it. But lately, with the whole diet change thing, I haven’t been indulging in that high fat, high calorie, high sugar treat very often. Once in awhile is fine, but I crave something sweet, cold and creamy every day!…

It’s 20 degrees below zero today. When I woke up my nose was actually cold. Oh my, how I am pining for summer… lavender scented linens on the clothesline…grilling steaks… date night on the deck under the canvas umbrella… warm, moonlit walks around our neighborhood… shorts… flip flops… the beach and swimming quarry… opening all…
We’re still hibernating here in Minnesota. Some day spring will come. SOME daaaaayyyyy…… Wah. Anyway, I’m still here baking bread and making soup and playing with yarn and looking at the piles of snow outside. I watched the season finale of Downton Abbey today and it was so so so so good. I wished it…

We went with a “Breaking Bad” theme (his favorite show) and made backyard BBQ fare. Country ribs, teriyaki drummies, coleslaw, baked “cowboy” beans, classic…
