My kids love mini everything; if it’s in muffin form, my kids will eat it or at the very least try it without a struggle. These gooey cheese-filled mini vegetarian meatloaves are a fun change from your everyday veggie burgers and a big hit with the kids.
We absolutely love empanadas of all varieties. And, our kids love spinach, so we knew this empanada recipe should be a hit. The flaky, soft dough is filled with spinach, mushrooms, onion, garlic and cheese. It’s great for a simple family meal or with such a fancy little package, it’s the perfect treat for dinner when company’s coming over.
Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, simply seasoned, and oh, so good for dinner or chopped on top of a salad for lunch.
With tangerines and other fresh citrus flooding into farmer’s markets and CSA boxes, I decided a fresh tangerine poundcake would be a delicious winter treat. I made this cake even more hearty by including a healthy dose of ricotta cheese. This is a dense, moist poundcake with delicious little pockets of tangerines.
Nothing says “comfort” to me more in the winter months than a slow cooker creating tantalizing fragrances as it warms up a pot roast for dinner. And considering it took me all of 10 minutes to prepare and set in the slow cooker, I would have to say that it was a huge success.
These homemade Lemon Poppyseed Muffins are fluffy and moderately sweet with just the right amount of lemony tartness and poppy seed crunchiness.

One of our favorite meals is having breakfast for dinner, and I’ve recently come up with a delicious (and easy!) way to spice up run-of-the-mill pancakes for a weeknight supper. Serve with turkey bacon and cinnamon apples for a complete meal!
Having this spaghetti sauce on-hand to thaw out and serve over pasta can make busy weeknight meals a breeze (and super healthy). This sauce is also a great choice for those reducing meat intake for Meatless Monday or for Lent, as meat-eaters can still enjoy the meaty texture (and some can’t even tell the difference since it’s masked by the strong flavor of the tomato sauce).
Black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day are supposed to bring you luck for the new year…at least, that’s what I was always told as a child! Whether you believe in the superstition or not, these slow cooker black-eyed peas make a healthy and hearty cold-weather meal
