Healthy Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup
Yesterday, after a Saturday night out in DC, I was not in the capacity to go on one of my normal [read: nutty] Sunday prep days.

The benefit of such … Continue reading Healthy Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup

sundried tomato pesto chicken with goat cheese & quinoa:.
After falling in love with quinoa and goat cheese recently, I was really itching to start creating recipes with both items. Then First Watch: The Daytime Cafe put a Quinoa Power Bowl on their winter menu (ummm, yum). The Power Bowl was hearty, satisfying, and definitely delicious, but it wasn't heavy.
