Fruity No Sugar Added Pre-Fast Sports Drink
Ok, so this isn’t exactly a sports drink…then you’d have all the sugars in there. It’s pretty much just a ‘doctored up’ cup of coconut water. But I couldn’t put that in the title in case you’re like me and have an aversion to plain coconut water. Now hear me out, what if I told…
Strawberry Crunch Ice Cream Cake
The most perfect, refreshing, 4-ingredient strawberry ice cream dessert. My first attempt to duplicate the flavors of the Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars I remembered enjoying as a kid came when writing Kids Cooking Made Easy. In that cookbook, I made a vanilla streusel and a strawberry streusel made using strawberry jel powder, and combined…

Beet and Chickpea Salad
Just toss it all together (the fresh dill and parsley are a must!) and you have an amazing, nourishing, and filling salad that’s refreshingly different. I do like randomly trying new things–but often, it’s just one and done. The experiments are just to enjoy for the moment, but rarely on repeat (although when they are…
Creamy Chicken Tacos
Charred wraps, creamy chicken, and crunchy cucumbers make this a family-friendly summer dinner everyone, from kids to adults, will love. Hands down, all my kids will eat cucumbers if I add some lemon juice, salt, and pepper. They will also pretty much eat anything I serve them in a charred wheat wrap. And so this…
