Healthier breaded pork chops
Another day, coming home, getting my work out clothes on and doing my elliptical for 30 minutes (with no interruptions either)! Wahoo! I knew I had pork chops, but wasn’t exactly sure how to prepare them. I thought I could do some kind of breading, …
Healthy Hot Chocolate!

Vegan cooking/Graham Cracker Chocolate Chip Muffin
I have been reading more and experimenting with Vegan cooking. Not so much for the reasons most people are, but by the way you can cook without using margarine, oil, eggs etc… For those of you who don’t know what being Vegan is, here is …
Making the switch to Whole Wheat/Muffin of the week
I’ve finally made the switch to buying things that are whole grain/whole wheat. For the longest time, I didn’t buy the whole wheat pasta, for example, because I thought it would taste bad. The funny thing is it doesn’t taste any different to me than …

I was thinking about this today. I’ve been doing really well for the last 3 months on my healthy eating plan and I’ve noticed some subtle changes that I think are helping me stay on track. Usually I will do good for a couple of …
