Jana here with a super easy recipe!  We grow kale in our garden, and this is one of our favorite ways to eat it. It is loaded with antioxidants, and a great source of vitamin C, A, and K. These are SO light and crispy...it's hard to just eat a few! Kale Chips 1 head of kale, or kale leaves from your garden olive oil salt 1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. 2. Remove

Jana here with a delicious way to cook lentils! We like to include lentils in our diet, because they are an inexpensive, healthy way to add fiber and protein!  I typically make these Curried Lentils as a side dish, along with a vegetable and chicken, but you could easily double the recipe and eat it as a soup as well. I was using green lentils for this recipe, but also buy red split

Jana here with a very versatile recipe - Homemade Taco Seasoning!   This is great for several reasons.  It is good make in a pinch if you were planning to use taco seasoning in a packet, but are out.  It is much cheaper to make it yourself, and healthier!  There is less salt than the packaged seasoning, and you know exactly what is in it!  I found this

Becca here with a fun idea for a meal to go along with the Disney movie Moana that is coming out on DVD next week.  To decide if it's one your family wants to view, my two favorite sites to read reviews on are Common Sense Media and Focus on the Family's Plugged In.  My husband and I have been able to visit Hawaii a few times, and I was excited to share a small

Jana here with a recipe that the whole family absolutely loved!  Add a garden salad, and some whole wheat bread, and you have a delicious meal!  This is also made in the slow cooker, so it is very low maintenance, and easy to prep!  I found the recipe that I based this on here.  For a quick meal on a busy day, you will definitely want to try this!

Rainy days always make me want to bake.  Am I the only one?  I hope not!  :)  One of my sons is 4 years old, and mixing up muffins is a perfect recipe for him to help with!  He loves practicing using the measuring spoons, dipping them in the flour and other things, and pouring them into the mixing bowl!  A little bit of patience on the parent's part goes a

Jana here with a new Instant Pot recipe that will definitely be on repeat at our house!  I got the inspiration from this Instant Pot cookbook that I own, and enjoy! The flavors are mild (not spicy), and the end result is a creamy, delicious meal that my whole family really liked. {Instant Pot} Coconut Curry Chicken and Rice 1 tablespoon olive oil or grapeseed oil 1/2

Jana here with a slow cooker recipe that completely surpassed my expectations!  So I decided to try this recipe from Picky Palate.  The ribs were falling apart when I took them out of the slow cooker, and were so tender!  It was so good, and everyone in my family was asking for seconds!  Slow Cooker BBQ Ranch Country Ribs 2-3 pounds country style ribs (boneless) 1

Jana here with a recipe for delicious Apple Butter!  If you're not familiar with apple butter, it is a spread typically used on breads. (toast, sandwiches, biscuits, etc)  It is sweet, and can be used as a jelly.  Although it has the word 'butter' in the name, butter is not one of the ingredients.  After doing some research, I learned that the name comes from the spread's

Jana here with another Instant Pot recipe!  I have been trying to buy more dried beans, rather than canned. Like many other things, they are a better value, and can be healthier.  Once I have cooked the dry beans, I like to portion them into glass jars, and freeze them for future meals. I use mason jars for this, or other glass jars that I save from foods like salsa or pickles.

Jana here with a delicious slow cooker meal that is super fast to prepare!  This is a great meal for a day when you only have a few minutes to spend on dinner.  One of the things I love about it is the finished product is very versatile!  We ate it the first night over brown rice.  The second time we had it, we put it in tortillas, added salsa and cheese, and had a yummy

Jana here with a recipe that my family really enjoys!  After eating at an Indian restaurant last year, I discovered that I really enjoyed the flavors of the food we ordered!  I came home, and decided to start making different forms of curry. This recipe is so delicious, and you can make it as spicy (or not!) as you prefer!   I found the recipe here, and followed

Jana here with a quick weeknight dinner you can make in under 30 minutes. It's a great recipes for children to help with also. My 8 year old son made this, with minor supervision from me. We found a recipe for Sloppy Joes in our Better Homes and Garden cookbook, and modified it to make this recipe. Sloppy Joes are traditionally served with a bun or bread, but I think serving it over quinoa or

Jana here with another DIY Seasoning mix! We also have a DIY Taco Seasoning posted here. There are several reasons I like to make these mixes myself, but the main one is convenience. I don't have to think about if I have a seasoning packet on hand when I decide to make something. I can quickly mix together the spices I already have on hand to have the same effect!  (or better)  It's

Jana here with a recipe my whole family really likes!  These Salmon Quinoa Patties are really fast to mix up, and get ready for dinner. We like to eat them with sweet potatoes, and broccoli a lot of times! They are also good to freeze, if you want to double or triple the batch. They are packed with protein, and really delicious.

Jana here with another Instant Pot recipe!  I recently cooked a whole chicken in my Instant Pot, and the results were delicious. Moist chicken that was falling off the bone!  In my opinion, cooking a whole chicken in the Instant Pot is good for then using the meat in other ways. Because you aren't marinating or injecting the chicken with flavor throughout, I prefer to season the

Jana here with another easy, healthy Instant Pot recipe!  If you aren't familiar with what an Instant Pot is, we have a basic tutorial here. I was SO happy with how the spaghetti squash turned out. The one I cooked was about 4 pounds, and the cook time may vary a few minutes if the squash you are cooking is larger or smaller. The squash easily came out in these 'noodles' with a fork once
