Hello – who wouldn’t want to make this cake?!    This is not my recipe and I did not make any modifications to it – so I will link directly to the original recipe to give credit where credit is due.  I used a high grade Organic Cocoa Powder which made a very dark [...]

Before I start posting about my accomplishments this week, I want to take just a moment to share something that happened in my life and how I think it speaks to health and wellness on a level besides nutrition and exercise.
I learned Saturday, that a friend of mine from high school had passed away at [...]

Ok – this was absolutely FABULOUS!!  Of course I made modifications to the original recipe. Instead of pizza dough, I used whole wheat pita and I subbed turkey bacon for real bacon and added a couple good shakes of red pepper flakes to spice things up!  Not that I have anything against real bacon – [...]

This dish started from a recipe in the latest Eating Well magazine, but like most things, I feel the need to make changes.  I have made Tortilla Soup many times before, and I liked some of the ingredients in this version and was inspired to incorporate some of them into my own dish.  We are [...]

As you know I love oatmeal. I just can’t get enough and have it for breakfast practically every day. In research that I have done, oatmeal  always scores high with fitness athletes looking to stay lean, but for me I just absolutely love the texture and the taste!

I love making my own granola.  I like to mix up the flavors and have control over what goes into mine.  Granola is one of those tricky snacks – it sounds healthy – but is it?  One recipe I found was almost 600 calories and 12 grams of sugar for a 1 cup serving – [...]

There is so much information out about healthy eating and fitness, but how do you get started?  It can be very overwhelming and discouraging to someone who wants to make changes but doesn’t know where to start.  Some people try to incorporate so many things that they burn out or they don’t do enough to [...]

Another quick and easy meal, while we don’t eat shrimp often it sure makes for an almost special occasion when we do. Now, unlike the more traditional spaghetti sauce that immediately comes to mind made with a marinara or Ragu type of sauce – or even one made with salsa like the recent Zesty Chicken [...]

This pizza is a modification of a classic pizza margherita.  Like we have done many times before, we substituted whole wheat pita for pizza crust.  This is an easy and quick lunch or light dinner.  I don’t think roasted red peppers are part of the ‘classic’ recipe – but I am in LOVE with them [...]
