Over the last few months, I have made several types of "egg rolls". I swear, I have an obsession with buying those egg roll wrappers found in the grocery store. I never knew how easy it was to make them, so I always walked past them in the store intrigued, but never willing to try them. I came ...
Meatless Meals
Creamy Avocado, Basil, Lemon Pasta
Once a week I try to do a "meatless" dinner. A lot of people do "Meatless Monday". I don't follow a set day, but aim for at least once a week.

Tuscan Pasta w/ Tomato Basil Cream Sauce

Eggplant Parmesan
My husband and I have never tried eggplant before. We had heard of "eggplant parmesan" several times over the years as well as seen it offered at restaurants, but never had it. I was intrigued and decided to test it out. This was a healthy version of the classic dish, baked not fried! The kids ate ...
Black Bean Burgers
I was looking for black bean recipes because I recently stock piled my pantry with some Rosarita's Black Beans that were on crazy sale. Ainsley ( the teenage girl that I have guardianship over) loves Black bean burgers so I decided to give this recipe a try. It was a big success . My boys ate them ...
