No-Cook Meals: Hummus to the Rescue
Last week Christine shared on the blog that she likes to use cottage cheese in her meals when she doesn’t feel like cooking. Today I’m going to share with you another idea for turning a snack food into a meal. Hummus is a hit in our house. Hummus is made from garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas. Garbanzo beans are a good source of fiber and protein, two important nutrients to include in meals.
A Month of Snacks
We are continuing our theme of snack boards from last month into June as the weather heats up. Sometimes when it is hot outside, the idea of cooking a full meal feels like too much. So this month we are going to share some of our favorite ideas for making snacks into meals with as little cooking as possible.
We All Scream for Ice Cream!
Have you ever played a game where you can only choose one food to eat for the rest of your life? If you asked my oldest daughter what that favorite food would be, I could guarantee that her answer would be ice cream! Each week when I put together a grocery list, ice cream is one of the first (and only!) items my daughter will add.
What’s in Justine’s Freezer?
Welcome to our final week of sharing what we keep on hand in our freezers. If you were to take a peek into my freezer, you would find a mix of foods you would expect, leftovers, and random surprises.
Pumpkin Muffins
This past fall we had two fantastic interns who helped us with testing some new and some old recipes. For our March recipe of the month, I would like to share with you the first of those recipes – Pumpkin Muffins. This is a new recipe to the Spend Smart. Eat Smart. website and it makes a great breakfast or snack.
Who Wants Pizza?
My favorite way to spend time in the kitchen is baking. I enjoy making different kinds of bread and muffins. So, this month I want to share with you our Whole Wheat Pizza Crust.
