Breakfasts this week will be pumpkin muffins, greek yogurt, cereal and fruit, or scrambled eggs and ham in corn tortillas. Lunches will be leftovers or grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwiches with chips and fruit.  I got a coupon for a free loaf of Udi's bread from a facebook promotion, so the kids are excited about having fluffy white bread for sandwiches.  I also won a $5 off Laura's Lean

I'm a snacker.  I like sweets, but I have absolutely no willpower where salty snacks are concerned.  Chips and dip are a particular weakness.  However, I rarely buy dip these days because the ingredient list on most brands is just too scary.  Tonight I had a serious craving for sour cream and onion dip that nothing else was going to satisfy, so I decided to make some myself.  After looking about

In the winter we eat potatoes on a regular basis.  They're inexpensive, versatile, filling, and naturally gluten-free.  What more could we want?  They also have quite a bit to offer nutritionally--according to the Idaho Potato commission, a medium-sized potato with the skin provides 45% of your daily vitamin C, 18% of potassium ,10% of B6, and 8% of your daily fiber. One of my Christmas gifts

My family loves Chipotle and Qdoba because they're super-tasty and offer many gluten-free options.  I've been craving a burrito bowl for the past several days, and decided to make my own (somewhat) healthier version at home.  My food photography skills are not so great....I promise this tasted a lot better than the picture looks!
