Grain-free Chicken Tenders

Kimball@ Heavy on Wholesome — Wed, 01 May 2013 14:00:00 +0000

It’s been a loooooong time since any of my kids have eaten chicken tenders. It’s virtually impossible to find pre-made chicken tenders that have normal ingredients I’d actually feed my kids, let alone a gluten-free version. It’s been so long, in fact, that I had completely forgotten chicken tenders are a thing. That is, until a few days ago when my 3 year-old saw a classmate eating some at school and came home and asked for some. He meant it {Read More}

Quinoa Pizza Crust {Gluten-free}

Kimball@ Heavy on Wholesome — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:00:00 +0000

What they say is true, you know. That necessity is the mother of all invention. And that desperate times call for desperate measures. That’s how this pizza crust came to be. A few nights ago, when all my children had gone to bed, and I was picking up after the day I realized I needed to come up with something for their lunches the next day. We were low on their favorite lunch staples, and even if I {Read More}

Crockpot {Not Fried} Refried Beans

Kimball@ Heavy on Wholesome — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 17:59:00 +0000

This recipe is one of those recipes that made me have a “well, duh!” moment. It is so easy, so simple, so nutritious and yet it never occurred to me until recently to try it. Don’t ask my why. We eat a LOT of beans in our family. We all love beans (well, all of us except that tricky middle boy who seems to live and grow on air) and eat them probably every day. We’re mostly vegetarian around here, {Read More}

Huevos Rancheros {My Favorite Meal Of All Time}

Kimball@ Heavy on Wholesome — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Huevos Rancheros is a traditional Mexican breakfast that usually consists of a corn tortilla and an egg with some sort of tomato sauce. I’ve eaten it in many restaurants and each has their own version. This is my version- that I eat at least once a week. It is our go-to meal for anytime of day.

Turkey Mini Meatballs

Kimball@ Heavy on Wholesome — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 03:42:00 +0000

After weeks (yikes!) away, I’m baa-aack! I could go into detail about what’s been going on at our house that’s pulled me away from this blog (and cooking much for that matter), but it’s really more appropriate for our private family blog. Plus, you likely don’t really care- you just want a recipe. Right? One thing I will tell you is that during a lovely day at the beach with the boys watching Daddy surf, I got sand in my {Read More}

Mandarin-Avocado Salad

Kimball@ Heavy on Wholesome — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 18:46:00 +0000

Please tell me were weren’t the only ones who made way too much food on Super Bowl Sunday. Around here, we don’t really care who wins the game (gasp), but we’ll use any excuse to throw a party and cook for a crowd. My husband broke out the smoker and smoked tri-tip, a roast and spare ribs. Yum! I made all sorts of side dishes to go along with all that meat. We really liked my Mandarin-Avocado Salad. So much {Read More}
