I am a huge fan of anything taco related. Nachos, tacos, burritos, I love it all. This delicious lunchtime snack really hit the spot! Of all the low carb tortillas on the market, Tumaro Wraps are my favorite. They are large, super pliable and taste …
This one skillet pasta dinner has been one of my most popular posts on Instagram. It was shared on Instagram’s main page and currently has over 45k views! This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners – ready in 20 minutes! I pretty much make …
I have had a number of kitchen gadgets over the years that I thought I couldn’t live without, and once I got it and used it a few times, it goes right back on the shelf to collect dust! Examples are my spiralizer, my juicer, …
Marion’s Kitchen marinades were introduced to me by my twin sister Biz. She kept showing recipes she made using the marinade and I finally got my hands on some. So sorry I waited so long – my lunch was outstanding. This isn’t really a recipe, …
I love shopping Trader Joe’s . I am lucky to have one in my town, but before that I would drive 30 minutes to the closest one to my house. We affectionately call it “Chicken Joe’s” because when my daughter was little- that’s what she …
If you haven’t tried my twin sister’s – Skinny Pizza dough – you have to put it on your to-do list asap! She posted the recipe over a year ago and only in the last 4 months I would say it has taken off – …
Were you a fan of fish sticks growing up? I was! I never would think as an adult that I would be making fish sticks for my family – but these grown up version of fish tacos have become a favorite quick and Weight Watchers …
Before going to the grocery store this weekend, I thought I would make a batch of soup for my lunches this week. I just put in whatever veggies I had leftover from the week so I wouldn’t have to throw them out. My daughter Claire, …
I attempted to make this sauce in the fall. I thought how nice would it be to make pasta sauce in the crock pot, simmering all day, how wonderful it would taste. All I would have to do is just make the pasta when I …
So, my first week of getting back on track and I did way better than I thought I would. I used www.myfitnesspal.com to track all my foods and exercise in. So are you ready? -5.6 pounds! What did I do? *Planned my foods in advance …
My HEALTHIER version of Denny’s All American breakfast slam. Just as good, but way less calories and fat!
Before I share my creamy macaroni and cheese recipe (which I believe will become a regular in your dinner rotations), I wanted to answer some questions about the exercises I am doing. I can’t believe the weekend is almost here! The week went by so …
Sometimes when I go to the store, I don’t actually have a plan of what to make, I just get stuff and will figure it out later. I bought 3 packages of boneless chicken breasts, and I was thinking about what to make, when I …
I had a great day yesterday food wise! I planned what I was eating for breakfast and lunch and snacks. I wasn’t hungry at all and….are you ready? I actually broke out a work out CD – Billy Blanks Taebo! I had to start with …
Yet another version of macaroni and cheese! I’ve posted two macroni and cheese recipes before. The first one is your basic ham macaroni and cheese recipe and the second one was a stove top version from Cook’s Illustrated which is fantastic. So last night I …
I woke up late yesterday which meant I was pretty much just going to have brunch! I hadn’t gone to the store yet, so I was searching for what I could make. I decided to make a pizza. I used to be so afraid of …
I had some leftover orange cauliflower, a few potatoes, a few carrots, some red onion and fat free half and half, so I made a go at turning that into soup! First I cut up the cauliflower, peeled and cut the potatoes and cut them …

The Grocery store I go to sometimes called Caputo’s has probably the biggest fruit and veggies section I’ve ever seen. It’s amazing! Underneath some of the fruits/veggies on the floor are big boxes of things that need to be sold that day. I scored with …
This week, my sister is hosting BSI (Blogger Secret Ingredient) cooking contest and the ingredient this week is: Chiles!! I was searching for recipes where I wouldn’t have to buy too many ingredients and when I found this recipe on Cooking Channel’s website, I had …
I was inspired to make these when Dave from Year on the Grill made quiches for his wife. Instead of a crust, he used shredded potatoes as the base. I LOVE quiches, so decided to make individual ones for my breakfast this week. Makes 2 …
