I was spending an hour or two on my latest addiction, Pinterest the other night. Raise your hand if you are hooked too. The last thing I needed was something else to keep me on the computer, but boy am I hooked. I love that site. I can’t believe how many new recipe sites I [...]
When I walked into my mom’s house today, the yummy smelling goodness hit my nose like a ton of bricks. I walked into the kitchen and saw that my mom was cooking in the crock pot. As I’m sure all of you moms out there know, crock pots spell E-A-S-Y, which for those of us [...]
I’m a huge fan of seafood, especially shrimp. It’s one of my favorite types of seafood to cook at home because it’s quick, easy, and is a great fit with my Weight Watchers food plan. I recently came across this recipe for Dijon Shrimp. Unfortunately, I don’t remember exactly where I found it, but it’s [...]
One of my favorite holiday dishes is an old potato salad recipe that my grandmother used to make. Knowing my grandmother, it’s probably not a very healthy recipe. This year my mom and I decided we would try our hand at it and try to make it a bit more healthy because being able to [...]
We’ve been having some conversations on Twitter lately about what else but chia!! And yes of the Chia Pet kind. You probably know them from this: But before chia becomes some clay-thingy’s hair, they are seeds. And chia seeds are super healthy and you can eat them. (I will sprinkle photos of Chia Pets throughout this post that [...]
Back in February, I wrote a little diddy about honey and my new found love for it. Well, guess what! (Hint: If you read the title, you know what I’m about to tell you…) SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL HONEY MONTH! We already talked last time about simple ways to use honey in your diet: add it [...]
This morning, I was browsing for a recipe to share with you guys (because let’s face it, I just don’t cook that much), I came across a recipe on NBC.com from my favorite show, The Biggest Loser. I LOVE everything breakfast, but one of my favorites, sausage egg and cheese biscuits, just aren’t that healthy. [...]
Sweets. I really, really, REALLY love sweets. They are my diet downfall. I like to blame my hippie parents for depriving me of sugar as a child. Total denial of sugary cereals, candy and snacks turned me into a sugar fiend. As soon as I was out of the house…BOOM…I was knee deep in [...]
I love summer! I love all the wonderful cookouts and picnics that take place throughout the season. I also love the abundance of fresh fruits & veggies that are available. So, what better thing to do than combine the two into one?! This salad is one of my own concoctions and I love taking it [...]
Hail to Martha Stewart! She found me a Pina Colada I don’t have to feel bad about and I tried it out in the most perfect place possible: beach vacation. I read it this week in Martha Stewart Living Magazine which I didn’t know I subscribe to but apparently I do. (Now every day can [...]
This has been a busy summer. No doubt about it. We haven’t had a free weekend since the middle of May and we don’t have one till the middle of August. I got up this morning and starting thinking about the day and what had to be done. We are going to the air show. [...]
Happy National Peanut Butter Cookie Day!!! What? You mean you didn’t know that holiday was happening today? Well, now you do. I love peanut butter cookies. I make no apology for that fact. I mean, seriously, what’s not to love? It’s a cookie and the main ingredient is peanut butter! *swoon* Of course, now that [...]
A few weeks ago, I had mentioned that I wanted to try quinoa. I had heard a lot about how healthy it is for you. (If you want to read all about quinoa, you can go here.) To the store I went, I bought a box of quinoa and then I was like, now what? [...]
I’m sure many of you are like me and love pasta! I mean, really, what’s not to love? All that carby goodness of pasta which also just happens to be the perfect vessel to carry some luscious sauce right to your taste buds. *drool* Of course, then there’s the downside which is all the calories [...]
I love lasagna, not only eating it, but making it. I’ve spent years fine tuning my lasagna recipe. It is, by far, the most popular dish my coworkers ask me to make whenever we have a potluck meal. The downside? There is absolutely NOTHING healthy about my traditional lasagna recipe. It has four cheeses and [...]
