Creamy Chicken Enchiladas


Yesterday we made Creamy Chicken Enchiladas, and they turned out to be somewhat surprisingly delicious. What made them even more yummy was that they were healthier for us then the other enchiladas we have been eating all of our lives!

Key Lime Cheesecake "Cupcakes"


As all three of us are serious key lime fans, we made these cute little Key Lime Cheesecake "Cupcakes". Normally when making key lime cheesecake you don't see cupcakes, but these proved to be the perfect healthier portions. Eating a dessert like this gets rid of the guilty feeling afterwards knowing it has such little calories and sugar content!

Parmesan Garlic Smashed Potatoes


Our Parmesan Garlic Smashed Potatoes were not your typical mashed potatoes. We used no more than a dash of salt in the entire recipe, and the flavor held strong and with plenty of garlic. They went really with the delicious chicken sandwich and made a complete and healthy lunch!

Crispy, Spicy Chicken Sandwich


Sorry it's taken so long for us to post! We've made a bunch of delicious food that will be up in a bit!

For lunch the other day we made this incredible Crispy, Spicy Chicken Sandwich. We were nervous it was going to be bland, but it was surprisingly very flavorful. It was also the perfect size to fill us up but not leave us feeling gross afterwards.

Turkey Pesto Panini


Our Turkey Pesto Paninis were super delicious and nutritious. We used whole grain bread because it has more nutrients than white bread. It also makes you feel more full and satisfied. The panini went well with our sweet smoothie, and now we are ready to make healthy choices for the rest of our day!

Also, we wanted to do a shout out to our wise, all-knowing, and compassionate faculty advisor, Mr. Keith Hartan. We hope he is reading all of our blog. We will know that he is reading our blog because he will respond to this post with an email. Look forward to hearing from you, Mr. Hartan! :)

Berry Berry Lime Smoothie


This afternoon we indulged in the tasty treat of a Berry Berry Lime Smoothie. It combines all the sweetness of cranberry, strawberry, and lime without the added sugars of any sherbet or ice cream. We made it once before, and it was so refreshing and delicious we just had to make it again!

Raspberry Cheesecake Bars


For our final dish of the night we made some scrumptious Raspberry Cheesecake Bars that were a perfect follow up for our chinese take-out night. The recipe originally called for blueberries, but since we're bigger raspberry fans we decided to switch things up a bit. It was an incredibly simple recipe that made a perfect amount of cheesecake. It got raving reviews from our guests, and we will probably make it again!
