I’m the first to admit I have a food "problem." For as long as I can remember I’ve been an "eater". One of those people that feels compelled to eat. I can easily grab a bag of chips and mindlessly knock it off. I have no problem putting down 5-6 slices of pizza. If there’s [...]

Do you eat them? I’m going to be honest, I’ve NEVER had one until a few days ago. I don’t know what possessed me to pick them up from the grocery store (oh yea, I was hungry) but I did. I picked up a package of Sunsweet 60 Calorie Pack Pitted Prunes and Dark [...]

If I had to eat boring salads everyday or “diet” foods, I’d go nuts. One way I find motivation is by getting creative in the kitchen and turning my trigger/nemesis foods into healthy fun options.
My choice today, pizza, of course! I love pizza, I mean I really LOVE it. It’s the one food item [...]

Most of you know I’m a fan of Vitalicious. I love their mixes and brownies, especially the pomegranate ones. Even though I like their products I never got a chance to try a vitaTop until recently. Of course the one I selected HAD to be chocolate, not only chocolate but TRIPLE chocolate. "Mmmmmm" I [...]

After a bit of research I discovered they are originally from South America but are now [...]

I never remember seeing orzo pasta at my local grocery before but this jumped out at me today. You know I’m a sucker for 100% whole grain so I had to give it a try. I used it today in my Turkey Orzo Cabbage Rolls and it was a hit. The [...]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE beans and franks. I don’t know, maybe it reminds me of my childhood. It’s fast easy and CAN be light with Hebrew National’s 97% Fat Free Kosher Beef Franks. These things are a staple in my freezer during grill season. They are exactly a [...]
