This is a totally personal post but I just have to share this real chapter of my life with you. I have had health issues for months now and was finally at a breaking point.

My Doctor and I see each other at least that often and he knows … [Read more...]

This is another delicious recipe I tried this week. This is another version of the power smoothie that I shared earlier. Similar in the way it energized me but very different in taste. Another yummy version. I have found that adding the flaxseed makes me feel full longer and helps my mood. It is full of fiber and omega 3. The Soy Milk is much easier on my stomach than the skim or … [Read more...]

Chicken pot is comforting, filling and a fantastic way to use up leftover buts of chicken and bags of partially used frozen vegetables. This pot pie is completely from scratch and is an absolute snap to make. I leave potatoes out of my pot pie, opting instead to serve it over a bad of creamy mashed potatoes and a drizzling of chicken gravy. The cooked pies freeze so well that you might … [Read more...]
Once, way back when, I was the queen of Home Ec. I rocked it and I loved it more than anything. I had as many periods of food related class as possible. Could this have been an indicator of my food blogging days to come? Hmm...thoughts to ponder! Anyway I loved it and a couple recipes I learned there in humble Home Economics have been family favorites of ours since we've been … [Read more...]

I thought that today I … [Read more...]
