Tip: How snacks can save dinner

Does your tot complain about being hungry when you’re furiously rushing to finish dinner?

Well mine does sometimes. And I’m here to tell you my little secret.

A healthy taste of cheese can whet his appetite, buying me about the 10-20 minutes I sometimes need to finish cooking.

For vegeterians, and meat-eaters alike, quinoa is a golden grain.

But most people are unsure of how to get the health benefits of quinoa while cooking something yummy.

My main favorite way of incorporating quinoa is as a substitute for rice. And what is the best rice dish on earth? Fried rice!

I’d like to share with you all my first “tried & loved” posts where I share a recipe I’ve found, used and loved.

This time it’s quite possibly my favorite find: skinny chocolate cherry muffins from Sally’s Baking Addiction. Just 110 calories each. EACH!

People love to hate on Brussels sprouts.

Green and usually steamed, these healthy veggies are a common reminder of “finish your plate” battles between parents and kids.

But these green things are healthy, offering in one serving 125 percent of one’s vitamin C daily needs and 195 percent of the vitamin K daily amount.

But how can you get kids to eat these if most adults won’t eat them willingly?

One word: pizza.
