The blender in my house has been working extra hard since my sister, Jasmine, had her wisdom teeth removed yesterday. Poor thing has been confined to a liquid diet, but I’m doing my duties as the older sister to keep her well nourished. =) Since she’s not the biggest fan of green smoothies, I’ve been ...…
This is not your mamma’s bran muffin recipe! Moist, slightly sweet, and delicious muffins you can actually feel good about eating! Like most chicks out there, I’m always on the hunt for yummy treats that won’t threaten my waist line. One of my biggest dietary weaknesses is pastries but my hunt for healthy alternatives usually ...…
Well it’s been a while since I’ve written anything and a lot has changed in my life. Job demands have increased and my personal life has been somewhat of a roller coaster so, needless to say, writing has taken a back seat. Sitting down to write an article sometimes seems like a hassle but in ...…
It’s flu season again and working at an elementary school, I get exposed to my share of cooties. The office is pretty much a petri dish of viruses waiting to be picked up by an unsuspecting victim. My co-workers seem to be dropping like flies and I don’t want to be the next victim! That’s ...…
I’ve really fudged up this time! It’s been nearly a month since my last post and I’m ashamed to say I haven’t done any real cooking in about 2 weeks. I’m sure most of you have made some monumental New Year’s resolutions this year…lose weight, save money, etc. I’m right there with you. However, I’ve ...…

I know you’ve heard it a million times so instead of beating you over the head with “you need to eat breakfast everyday” I’m just going to give you some simple and delicious meal idea for your busiest mornings! There ...…
Okay, so it’s not a cookie but wouldn’t it be nice to show up with something a little more unique [and more impressive] than a plate of over-baked sugar cookies. This is about the time of year when I’m bombarded with candy canes. I was a middle school teacher for a couple years and now ...…
So I made this veggie tart for a pot luck at work last week…correction, I made 3 tarts for the gals in the office (about 6 of us) and we devoured every last crumb! The best part is that I made this bad boy in about 10 min and baked it while I got ready ...…
Everyone knows it’s Fall when Starbucks starts advertising their Pumpkin Spice Latte. Everyone also knows {or should know} that the syrups used in coffee houses are laden with artificial ingredients and sweeteners. We don’t want any of that crap in our healthy, sexy bodies now do we? I sure don’t, which is why I started ...…
Working full time definitely makes it challenging to get enough veggies in my diet. That’s what inspired me to cook up these bad boys. I used canned refried beans for a quick, cheap source of protein, tons of sauteed veggies, and portion controlled cheese to make up several chimichangas ahead of time and pack one ...…
