Well, it’s been a while since my last post… I recently took a part time job working as a cook in a restaurant, so now I’m working two jobs, going to culinary school, and making sure there’s quality time with the family in there with all of that going on. Can we say busy? Whew! But,Read More
I don’t know about you, but I didn’t eat so healthy over the holidays. All of the amazing cookies, chocolates, casseroles, gravy, stuffing, cakes, and everything else you could possibly think of that’s NOT healthy for you…that’s what I ate. Oh wait, I believe there was a green veggie or two squeezed in there, althoughRead More
Well, it’s a brand new year…AND it’s cold outside. So, how about starting out the new year with a healthy, delicious, warm and satisfying classic comfort food? Okay then, let’s do it!

Whenever I go over to my brother’s house for dinner, dessert is always my responsibility. And honestly, I can happily take that assignment.

No one seems to like eating the same meals over and over again, day in and day out…so the research has begun to find things that myRead More
Here we are, back with another soup. Get ready for these, because my outlook on the soup from last week, the Chicken Taco and Black Bean Soup was a huge success. Not only was it delicious and easy, but it was very nutritious AND a perfect convenience food. All I had to do was scoopRead More
When it comes to soups, I’m somewhat picky. I prefer cream based soups, but sometimes they aren’t always that healthy. This recipe though…is VERY healthy. High protein, high fiber, and low fat? Yes!! Believe it or not, I try to eat healthy foods on a regular basis so I can still indulge every once inRead More
Holy cow, is there something actually healthy on here? I can’t believe it. Well, actually I can. Since I’ve battled two illnesses here recently that were back to back (stomach virus and viral infection), it was a true wake-up call for me to start eating healthier and incorporating more vegetables into my diet to strengthenRead More
In a perfect world, no one has Celiac Disease. Or lactose intolerance. Or diabetes. Unfortunately so, this isn’t the case, and it seems as though these problems are more common now than in the past. A close friend was going through a rough time with constant stomach issues a few years ago. After running manyRead More
