I know you remember that Guiltless Cauliflower Alfredo from the other day, right? Well, here's one of my favorite things to do with it. The idea for these Skinny Italian Nachos is a take-out fake-out from a big name chain.
Of course, mine are homemade, not fried, and socked full of hidden vegetable goodies. Making all the more wholesome and better-for-you in almost every single way possible...

This was actually one of the FIRST recipes that I ever posted here. Can you believe it? And it's still, to this day, a family favorite. This Guiltless Alfredo is so good that no one will ever guess it's lightened up and loaded with veggie goodness.
Once upon a time I stumbled across a fantastic alfredo sauce recipe. My life has never been the same since.
The recipe was already pretty lightened up to begin with, but I'm always looking for new, clever, and sneaky ways to get vegetables brought into the mix...

It's grocery shopping day, which means that I have absolutely nothing in my house other than the leftovers and things that weren't used up through the week. With a hungry household, what's a girl to do? Improvise!
Somehow one of the dinners that I had planned wasn't even made. What can I say? It's summer and we're flying by the seat of our pants here on somedays. A good thing for fun, but a bad thing for planning. Whatever caprese salad I had intended on making just didn't fit into our shenanigans... so, caprese style breakfast it is...

Is it me or has everyone else noticed the 'power bowl' trend that's been taking over the foodie world lately? I'm not mad at it at all either. I love me a good bowl of power. Morning, noon, or night. I mean.... I'm a momma of a really active 7 year old, so I've got to stay on top of things with plenty of energy and strength.
While it's so hot out right now in the blazes of 'Texas in July' heat, I tend to opt for the simple, easy to put together, no heat involved style of cooking. At least until it cools off enough in a couple of more months to where I can feel comfortable with turning my stove and oven back on for any amount of time. This Cinnamon Roll Power Bowl fits the bill in every way. It's filling, light, easy to make, and wholesome to boot!...

The end of Mermaid week is upon us! I've saved the best for last with this Mermaid 'Seaweed' Wrap. There is a long history behind this wrap too! It's special to my family because it's been in the summer rotation for about 5 years now! Yep. That's just how good this wrap is. One thing I love most about it is that it's so versatile; making the perfect lunch box addition, summer lunch or even as a light dinner. It's perfectly 'meal prep' friendly and full of wholesome goodness.
I've dubbed it the 'seaweed' wrap since I like to use the bright and colorful spinach tortilla to wrap everything all up in. On the inside, I've loaded this wrap up with plenty of fun and vibrant mermaid inspired bits. The first layers are hummus and a low fat cream cheese, followed by carrots, tomatoes, spinach, and my favorite part, Chopped Eckrich Honey Cured Ham! It's all pulled together with some reduced fat feta and rolled to perfection...

The next step into this week of Mermaid amazingness is in honor of my fabulous mother's birthday! Truly, she's more of a mermaid than I am. She spends about 75% of her summer in the water. And... about 50% of the rest of the year in and about the water as well. We're talking rivers, lakes, pools, etc. If there's a body of water, she'll find it and she'll be in it with a cocktail or two in her hand.
Every year for one another's birthday we each take the time and effort to make or go and buy one another our favorite cravable cupcakes or cake. This year I opted for a local Austin food truck that makes my most favorite strawberry cupcakes in the entire world. For my mom though? She's getting an oldie but a goodie. It's a surprise cupcake that we've made together in the past and fell in love at first bite...
