I've had a few stuffed peppers in the past. When I was younger, I remember my mom making some spanish style stuffed peppers that I thought were pretty good even though at the time I wasn't a huge pepper fan.
Oh, how times have changed.
These stuffed peppers are pretty amazing and ridiculously easy to do. With around 10-15 minutes of preparation, you can have these babies set to cook through the day in your crock pot with hardly any fuss at all!...
Read MoreA couple of months ago I was out at Eeyore's birthday here in Austin.
Yes... we celebrate Eeyore's birthday here. It's quite a thing, actually.
Anyway! It was pretty warm out that day and there was a vendor selling some rather interesting sounding homemade organic local popsicles. One of the flavors on the list was a mango chile flavor.
Of course, that's the one that I ordered! Unfortunately, they were all sold out. Ergh!
Well, it sounded easy enough. I've made my share of popsicles in the past so I thought I'd try my hand at this mango chile one too!
Read MoreHow is it that eating the rainbow always seems to taste sooo amazing? There's something about all those natural bright colors that just set something off inside, making it extremely difficult not to smile when you see all of them together. And when in edible form too? Even better!
After all, who wouldn't want to eat a rainbow?
No big deal. I totally ate a rainbow for lunch.
Sounds pretty epic, right?
Plus, this salad is every bit as tasty as it is nutritious. I'm pretty sure that this is going to be a staple salad in my household throughout the summer months...

Read MoreIt's starting to get really hot here, and I've been busy starting to come up with healthy and refreshing ways to stay cool in the summer heat as it rears it's ugly head. Never mind that I'm dying here already and we have another 10+ degrees to go until we're really in the prime of Texas summer. Ugh.
So uhm... a whole popsicle for 30ish calories? Yes, please!
These popsicles are not only ridiculously healthy, but fresh and completely guilt free. Plus, it's an entirely fun way to eat your fruits...
Read MoreParfaits make for a great breakfast or dessert during the summer months. They're easy. They're tasty. And you have virtually endless possibilities with flavor options! Plus, they don't heat up your kitchen. ... Something which is often a deal breaker for me once we start getting into 100+ days.
Can you tell that I'm already dreading July and August? Ugh...
Read MoreA couple of weeks ago my grandma and I were out running errands when we decided to stop at this well known place here in Austin called Kerbey Lane. They are famous for their unique twists on classic foods. As an added perk, they generally pride themselves on using organic and locally grown items in their kitchen.
As luck would have it, we happened to go in the middle of tomato season! While paroosing the ‘Tomato Menu’ I came across an interesting looking item that was marked as ‘Limited Quantity due to Popularity’… so of course that’s what I had to order. Tomato Pie!...
