by 1 Comment

I’m starting something new on Love Food, Will Share, it’s called Tidbits & Nibbles. I will share tidbits from my life and feature some Nibbles that I’m craving right now. This will be a weekly feature, I hope you enjoy this.

These are my three girls. From the left, Hailey (the oldest), Mackenzie (the youngest) and Kiley (middle girl) and I’m going to brag about them today.

Hailey just graduated with a degree as a Paralegal. She was offered a job earlier this week, way to go Hailey, so proud. Mackenzie has been busy this week finishing up her finals and finishing up her 3rd year at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. She will be home tomorrow and spending the summer with us, can’t wait. Kiley lives in Minneapolis (where she also went to school) and is working at Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy. She is working hard to protect Minnesota’s environment, keep up the good work.

I can’t write this post without talking about the newest additions to our household, Oscars and Olives. They make us smile multiple times a day and I’m sure you will agree they are the cutest. Olives has the dark striping and Oscars is the white and gray kitty.

Olives & Oscars favorite blanket.

My birthday was a few days before Mother’s Day and I was surprised with this gift from my husband, Mr. B and my girls. BEST. GIFT. POSSIBLE. So pumped to start using this…..

Nibbles of the week… Click on the words in blue to be taken to the recipe.

This quick bread using Straw-ber-ita.

Get on the Quinoa wagon with this shrimp dish.

For my gluten free friends, these muffins look scrumptious.

I love potatoes and these twice baked potatoes are the bomb.

It’s rhubarb season and these streusel bars are on my list of must make soon.

It’s grilling season and I wish I was grilling this burger right now.

This drink using Moscato might become a summertime favorite.

Green salads with fruit always catch my eye, and this salad is very appealing.

Here are some great summer dining and entertaining items.

Have a great weekend!

Enjoy!

New Year’s Resolutions & A Plan To Eat Better

by Leave a Comment

2014 has arrived, are you ready for it? Do you make New Year’s resolutions? Do you stick to them or do they never materialize? Some of the big resolutions are eating better, exercising and losing weight. Do these sound familiar? What is on your list this year?

I don’t always make resolutions, especially one’s that I know I will not follow through with or will never happen. I would rather make resolutions that will make me feel good, will help other people or is easy enough that I can say, I DID IT! I will say that my daughter’s have been on my case (and my hubby Bill) to get more exercise. My three girl’s do exercise on a regular basis and I would like to come up with a simple exercise routine that I will want to do on a regular basis and that will make a difference, suggestions anyone?

Are these on your list?

Are these on your list?

If you are looking to eat healthier and possibly lose a little weight, I think I can help you with this. My blog will give you recipes that incorporate fruits and vegetables along with carbs, protein and fat. I try and make my recipe’s low in fat if I can. I also think eating in moderation is a great way to eat items you like without having to cut them out of your diet all together.

I am not a blogger that weighs 100 pounds! I won’t give you my actual weight, but I can tell you that I am a size 12 and I am not afraid to admit that. As I have told people before, I love food way too much to be an itty bitty size. I have gained a few pounds after making the 12 Days of Christmas Treats even though I gave a large amount of those treats away, but I know that I can get back on track and drop a few pounds, so that is on my short list of resolutions and I know I can accomplish this.

I have put together a Light Recipe’s Board on my Pinterest page, check it out for some inspiration.

I hope I can encourage you to get in the kitchen and make fresh meals for you, your family and friends. As always, please share this post.
