Mom’s Power Muesli
I can eat this chocolate pecan muesli every day and never get tired of it! It gives me so much energy that lasts, and the power I need for a good start on my day. For my homemade muesli, I use organic rolled oats, ground flax seeds, dark chocolate chips, pecans, and sometimes I add cranberries or raisins, chocolate corn puffs or rice cereal, and cacao nibs. Almond milk is my favorite liquid to add, but you can use any milk you want or even a dollop of plain yogurt on top! Finally, I top it off with fresh berries and bananas. Having a baby is funny. You get into…

Peach Tomato Bocconcini Salad
This super simple salad reminds me of summer. When peaches are not in season, I sometimes use peaches in a jar. All you need for this easy salad is peaches, cherry tomatoes, bocconcini (little mozzarella cheese balls) and balsamic glaze. I always have store-bought balsamic glaze in my pantry, because I use it often, but you can also whip some up at home in less than 20 minutes using balsamic vinegar and honey or brown sugar. A drizzle of balsamic glaze makes everything sweeter and prettier. My 4 year old loves this peach tomato mozzarella salad, and I often make it for her and I as a quick healthy snack.…

Egg Noodles with Mushroom Sauce
This popular German dish, “spätzle with champignon rahmsauce,” or egg noodles with mushrooms, is one of my favorites! You can get it at many German restaurants. It is very easy main dish to make at home if you have a spätzlemaker. A good one can be a little pricey, but it is worth investing in one, because spätzle, or egg noodles, are a great side to many different main courses. To make the spätzle, or egg noodles, you only need a few ingredients: flour, eggs, salt and water. I love how fresh the noodles taste when you serve them hot from the pot. They also keep fine for use during…

Greek Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette
This Greek salad is one of my top 5 favorite salads! It is the definition of fresh, and super easy to toss together in a matter of minutes. You can enjoy this Greek salad as a main dish for a light lunch or dinner, or as a side to your main meal for times when you are hungrier for more. Did you know that soaking red onion in water for 10 minutes can take away some of the bite? I like onions in my salads, but sometimes they can be too strong, so I always soak them for a few minutes before tossing them into the salad. All of the…
