Sharing my favorite healthy recipes!
I have mentioned before, I found out this spring that my cholesterol was off the chart! I went to my regular doctor check-up and I said to him. “I’ve never had my cholesterol checked, can you check it?” All it takes is a sample of …
For those of you who know me personally, these are famous words of mine. Of course, “back on” means I have veered off my diet for any length of time, then when I get serious again, I tell everyone “I’m back on!” My sister even …

My sister loves spaghetti squash and she has been trying to get me to try it for some time. “It’s fantastic!” she exclaimed. I wasn’t so convinced. I remember trying a recipe for mashed cauliflower which people insisted tasted exactly like mashed potatoes. Lets just …
I love reading about other peoples success stories in weight loss. There is no shortage of information if you google weight loss success stories, but the one thing you have to be wary of is how did they actually lose the weight? And, if they did …
One of the reasons for me starting this blog, and watching what I am eating and trying to lose weight is because I went to the doctor this past spring to have my blood glucose checked because my twin sister is diabetic, and my dad was …
I know its still summer, but I can eat soup all year round. It’s chilly in my office, and if I have the air on at home, my family doesn’t mind having soup in the summer either. This recipe is by far my most favorite …
I love beef stew! It is so hearty and wonderful. I have a super easy recipe, which I have posted before, but this time I made it the Rachel Ray way and made it in under 30 minutes. I mentioned that my power …
I never thought in a million years I would try Hemp milk! I didn’t even know it existed until a few months ago. What is Hemp milk? It’s a non-dairy product that comes from the Hemp seed. I started reading about it and it turns out …
I have been reading about this book through Men’s Health on-line. (www.menshealth.com) and this book was written by the Editor in Chief of Men’s Health magazine. Basically, his approach is a non-diet way of looking at food, and knowing what the right choices are when …
I couldn’t go to my regular weigh in today because of a work conflict, BUT, I think I did great this week making healthier choices. I refrained from weighing myself at home because I am still in the zone, and I want to stay there, so …
Let me first start out by saying that I LOVE McDonald’s Sausage Egg McMuffin’s and hash browns. Back in my fast food days, it was not uncommon to start my day like this. And the worst part was I wouldn’t get one hash brown, but …
Earlier today, I mentioned I got a few cookbooks from the library. I made a recipe from a cookbook called “Low-Calorie Cookbook” by the American Heart Association. The recipe made 12 muffins, but since they were so low in calories, and I LOVE big muffins, I just …
I was at the grocery store picking up some snacks to go to the pool with my family. I was going to get fat free Pringles, or pretzel sticks when I saw these chips on the shelf. I picked up the bag and looked at …
Now, you would think after all I did this week, that I would have lost 5 pounds easy. Here are just a few of the positive changes I did this week: Did 1 hour work out at the Y. Parked my car at the far …

I love eating food that is not only high in quality, but high in quantity! I’ve been adding salads to my dinners and it not only makes me feel like I ate a ton of food, it takes a long time to eat and …
There are so many versions of this soup. I got the recipe a few years ago from my sister, she and I have tweaked it here and there. It’s very adaptable, so you can do a lot of things with it. The story starts there. …
