I am Eating Garbage & Feeling Lazy! We are on a 3 week trip to quick meal planning

I have been reading a lot of different snipits on snack foods that are good for you but I have been avoiding them like the plague.

I must admit, I am not overly adventurous when it comes to leafy greens (beyond arugula, and other lettuce types).

I believe my hesitation is that in my mind I believe most of them can … Continue reading »

4th of July – A Salad Idea, FULL of Antioxidents, Healthy & Travels Well

We are going to make an incredible salad that can be served cold or at room temperature, I prefer it at room temp because of the roasted flavor but that is just me. This is a new one for me, pics will come soon. What inspired me to make this dish is all the talk … Continue reading »

Trying Dukan or Committed to Paleo? It’s Ground Chicken Again (but with D-Licious Fresh Herbs)!

Not to say that eating healthy can’t be fun and exciting because it definitely is and delicious too, but some nights your creativity level just isn’t what you need it to be; that was me tonight!

What to Eat; Who Can Keep it All Straight?

So I am in my earlier thirties and found out the hard way, by gaining weight I couldn’t just wish away, that I needed to start watching what I eat.  I am naturally a healthy eater, my body craves vegetables over sweets and I am not picky on really any fruit or vegetable.  I enjoy … Continue reading »
