This lightened up Tomato Basil Soup has minimal ingredients and only 115 calories per two cup serving! This time of the year, as it starts getting cooler (not too cold, we are talking about Georgia after all), I tend to gravitate towards making soups. They are generally easy to prepare, fairly inexpensive, and there are always left overs for my husband to take to work with him the next day. I mostly enjoy any type of soup, and love finding new vegetarian recipes to try. Even soups that have meat can usually be altered pretty easily to be vegetarian....and it goes ...

Mango Frozen Yogurt
Last week I received a HUGE package from Chobani! I never knew such perishable items could be shipped so quickly, and in bulk...but I guess it can be done! What a delivery! Chobani was kind enough to send me 6 huge containers of greek yogurt. I am so excited to try them all: Mango, Peach, Chocolate Chunk Blueberry, Pineapple, and Black Cherry- yum! I have been searching various recipes and found several for inspiration. My husband loves mango anything, so when I saw a recipe for Mango Ice Cream, I figured I could try making it with Greek ...
Spicy Eggplant and Tofu
I saw this recipe last week in Real Simple Magazine and knew I had to make is ASAP. I took a quick picture on my phone, to remind me to search for the recipe online later (how handy!), and then added it to my Menu folder on Pinterest for this week! This is the kind of recipe where you probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry, and most likely just have to pick up the produce. If you like Chinese food (but don't like all the calories), then this is the recipe for you! It was so flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice. If you are serving ...
Baked Eggs with Spinach and Mushrooms
Oh look, another baked eggs recipe!! I love eggs, so finding ways to incorporate them into a healthy hearty dinner is always exciting for me. This recipe was simple, quick, and on the cheap side...total win! The dash of nutmeg in this dish gives it a little flavor that you aren't expecting, and it's perfect for fall. I wouldn't hesitate to serve this for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner! This time, I made it for dinner and served it with a side of roasted lemon cauliflower...yum! This recipe is also very low calorie for a dinner/meal. I ...
Guest Blog: Healthy Homemade Graham Crackers
I have been asking my friend, Lauren, to write a guest blog for a while now, and she finally has! We are very similar in the way that we try to make a lot of foods from scratch, and keep processed foods to a minimum, especially when it comes to our toddlers. She has an adorable 22 month old, Audrey, and she loves the little snacks and wholesome foods that Lauren is always whipping up! I am excited to share her recipe for Homemade Healthy Graham Crackers because 1.) they look delicious, and 2.) I didn't even know you could make graham crackers at home! These would be great ...
