I have just recently started eating shrimp.  I’ve never been a fan of shellfish, fish, crustaceans, or any other word for things that inhabit water.  But, I’m learning, because it really is a low-fat healthy way to get some good protein in you.
I found this recipe in the January 2009 issue of Fitness Magazine. The [...]

I am so excited to write this Food Edition of Thursday Threes!
I love food- what “free” time I have is spent scouring websites, cookbooks, cooking magazines, looking for those recipes that sound interesting to me.  I love to cook and I love to eat.  These two simple phrases makes it imperative for me to find [...]

This is sort of a re-post.  I posted it at first over on my personal blog.  It had been so long since I had made it, that I thought today was the perfect day to make it, take pictures, and post it here for you guys!  So, I hope you enjoy!  It’s one of my [...]

I found this idea in the July/August issue of Whole Living, Body + Soul. If you don’t have a subscription to this magazine, I highly recommend it!!
