Sharing my favorite healthy recipes!
I love reading recipes, reading magazines and searching on-line looking for great ideas. I happened to come across a recipe from www.lowsodiumcooking.com for coffee cake muffins. How yummy does that sound? I adjusted the recipe a bit to make it less calories and fat …
I just saw this at the grocery store. I love The “Optimum Slim” cereal, but saw this one too. All of their cereals are whole grain, low in fat and high in fiber. For this cereal, 1 serving is 190 calories and 2.5 fat and …
My brother wrote this book! When my brother first mentioned to me that he was going to write a book about dieting I thought he was joking. But, the man has had experience in this arena. As he writes in the book how he has …
Today at my Weight Watchers Meeting, the leader was talking about how to give in to indulging once in a while. She said that the whole time she was losing 80 pounds on Weight Watchers, she and her friend after their Tuesday night meeting went …

I’ve already mentioned that I have a thing about muffins. The one thing I am trying to create while losing weight is to make muffins that are way healthier, but still taste great. I improvised on a recipe I found on www.havecakewilltravel.com. (2020 Update – …
This was my impromptu dinner idea. I cooked Whole Wheat angel hair pasta, I had a jar of Barilla garlic flavored tomato sauce, I had some chicken tenders in the freezer. I cooked the pasta, and set it aside. In a skillet I sprayed Pam …
I love muffins! The only problem is that I would go by my local bakery every morning for an enormous muffin. I’m pretty sure they were in the 800 calorie range, not to mention baked with butter which has tons of fat. This led me …
I have a bunch to share today! Today I had a totally deluxe lunch.These are Ball Park Turkey Bun length hot dogs. Each hot dog is only 45 calories. So this weekend, when you are either having a bbq for Memorial Day weekend, or going …
Every Wednesday is my Weight Watchers meeting, and I am happy to say I am down another pound, making my grand total 9 pounds so far! My goal for the coming week is to cut down (or out) the snacking over the weekend. I love …
Fiber One cereal found this at the store yesterday. I LOVE Golden Grahams cereal, and this tastes just like that except healthier! For a 1 CUP serving its only 180 calories, 3 fat and 9 grams of fiber. I brought it for my breakfast, I …
I lost 3 pounds this week! I have been on a journey with Weight Watchers. I started in July of 1999 at an all time high of 199.6! By April of 2000, I was at 130! I never in a million years would have thought …
We’ve all been there. You make a commitment to yourself that you are going to eat healthier, exercise more and really take control and try to lose weight. Then, life steps in and you are in a serious dilemma. This is exactly what happened to …
I almost always bring my lunch to work. Or I should say food to work, because not only do I usually bring breakfast, but my snacks too. This morning, I didn’t really know what to make, so I just kind of threw things together that …
I know there are about a zillion different versions of macaroni and cheese. I love it, but I don’t love how the full fat versions are tons of calories and lots of fat. I adapted this recipe from a Healthy Choice recipe I read in …
I hate it when you get home from work and look around to see what there is to make, and you fear that there is nothing good in your freezer/fridge/pantry. That’s the predicament I was in. It was late in the week and groceries from …

I was kind of in a hurry this morning, and thought I would only have time to grab a homemade muffin, but I opened my fridge, and saw I had some left over Ore-Ida Hash browns, I know I had lo-carb tortillas and eggs, and …
I don’t know where the name of this dish came from, but growing up that’s what my parents called it. The only thing is when my Mom made it, I would ask her to have no chunks of onions in it! I make it all …
I really didn’t have much of an idea of what to make for dinner. So when I got home, I cooked up a few huge chicken breasts with Mrs. Dash lemon pepper seasoning. Once it was done, I let it rest for about 5 minutes, and …
