Easy Pork Tenderloin
I made probably the best pork tenderloin over the weekend. I normally buy the ones that are pre-marinated. But this time, I decided to buy one that I can add my own spices too. I decided to do a rub. I added in a small …

Roasted chick peas
I made another batch of these last night to bring as a snack for work (also counts as veggie serving!) It’s so good, I wanted to post the recipe again. I would suggest using 2 cans of chick peas (garbanzo beans) because the process takes …
Chicken Tortilla Casserole
I mentioned the other day, my Mom sending me a link to Eat Better America. One of the recipes was for a chicken tortilla casserole. It sounded really good, and they replaced a lot of the fattier ingredients with different ones such as using fat …

Doing things differently…. + Bolthouse coupons
I’ve done a few things differently as I mark the first week of trying to consume 10-13 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. I’ve noticed a few patterns here: *I’ve had almost no snacks. Just breakfast, lunch and dinner *I’ve had NOTHING after dinner …
Great food day!
One thing that helped me out today was preparing my food the night before. That way I have time to make something deluxe if I want and not be rushed throwing things in my bag. For breakfast I had: 1 Thomas whole grain English Muffin …
Veggie/fruit challenge continues…
So, after trying to get more fruits and veggies in, I didn’t do so hot over the weekend. I ate better, but I did NOT get all the servings I needed, so on Monday, I was back on. One thing I am noticing by eating …
Homemade donuts
First of all, I have to say that by proclaiming to the world that I would not have one piece of candy this Halloween, it made it easier for me to say no to all that candy! That means not only yesterday, but also as …

Veggie/Fruit challenge
Yesterday, I talked about how fruits and veggies affect your health. I listened to a Dr. who suggested we eat 10-13 serving of vegetables and fruits every day! How is that possible, I thought? But I decided to give it a try and see if …
Are you digging your grave with your fork?
Kind of shocking isn’t it? A friend of mine gave me a CD with that same title written by Dr. Susan Silberstein. . I had never heard of her, but apparently she has been researching how what you eat affects whether or not you get …
Chicken Parm
Sometimes its the most obvious thing to make, yet you never make it. Take for example, chicken parmesan. Its super easy, quick and can be made healthy, so when I saw Chicken Parmesan on The Pioneer Woman Cooks site, I decided it was now or …

Crock pot chicken fajitas
It’s the time during the school year where there are conferences, plays, and music concerts that makes working full time, getting a healthy meal on the table in a jiffy really hard. Yesterday was that kind of day. My husband and I ran to one …
