[RECIPE]: Salmon Cakes

I was telling my neighbor that we needed to fold in more seafood into our diets, as we get used to having the usual staples - chicken, ground Bison, chicken sausage, etc. She is the queen of healthy eating too, so she when she offered to whip up a batch of these Salmon Cakes for a weekend trip we had with our families, I had to have the recipe and fold them into our meal plans.

This Chocolate Shakeology Pie is hands down, my favorite "clean treat" to make. It's filling, nutrient rich and best of all, GUILT-FREE!

Every year, I try and perfect my Mom's infamous Sweet Potato casserole. I've healthified (is that even a word??) it as b…

I love that my Mom and I share an interest in make some tasty Fall recipes, a little bit more healthy! She was just here for a visit for Halloween, and loves to make us dinner, and has been raving about this dish she made, so asked if she could make it for us. Don't have to ask us twice!!

Now, we aren't total stickler's when it comes to m…
