It’s okay to make something not so healthy if you are giving it to someone else right? I still haven’t celebrated Christmas with my side of the family due to my Mom was out of town and my sister’s husband was in the hospital, so …
I wasn’t sure what to make for dinner last night, so I looked in my freezer, looked in my pantry to see what I had. I didn’t have enough meat to feed a family of 5, but I did have some Italian sausage and some …

One of the things I am trying stay away from are processed foods, snacks, diet pop, etc… I think I will feel healthier eating more whole foods. As a result, I have been researching recipes that incorporate whole grains, fruits and vegetables. I came across …
