Welcome!

This Mexican chicken soup recipe will chase away the winter blues.

Why? Well first of all it is hot! Nothing like hot soup to warm you from the inside when the temperatures are low. Secondly, unlike my Low Carb Chicken Vegetable Soup and Slow Cooker Italian Chicken, Quinoa & Vegetable Soup, this Mexican soup has chili powder in it which will help you clear your sinuses.

Are you looking for the best vegetarian chili? Of course you are! Who wants to settle for second best?

I luv chili and make it a lot during the winter. It is my go-to meal on a snowy day to heat myself from the inside out. My former favorite chili recipes include chili with cocoa powder and slow cooker quinoa chili. The chili with cocoa powder is made with beef and it is really good.

My daughter thinks these banana oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies should be called “bites” instead of cookies.

I know what she is saying because this recipe doesn’t use the creamed butter and sugar that you find in the regular definition of “cookie”. But, if you can convince yourself that this healthy alternative is an actual cookie - you are set!

This healthy baked chicken recipe is for all the haters out there who don’t believe you can do anything with skinless chicken breast.

I used to think the same thing until I began working on it for my WW members. Hey, chicken breast without skin is zero points on Blue and Purple! You should try it.

These healthy soup recipes will warm your bones and keep them healthy at the same time. You cannot miss.

Soup is one of those foods that we crave in the winter. It hydrates and warms us and we crave it when we get sick.

This homemade instant hot chocolate mix is going to hit the spot. Of course, you may just decide to move somewhere warm instead of drink it.

I am freezing my tush in Massachusetts. We have had a frozen pipe, a dead car, and kids out of school. Woohoo! How do I deal with what winter has handed us? Coffee and hot chocolate! (I hate tea).

This vanilla meringue cookie recipe will win your heart. Not only is it gluten-free but it only has five ingredients and 9 calories per cookie!

There are so many great things about these cookies except for the fact they take a bit of technique. But, if I can do it, you can! Unlike my Almond Clouds or my frozen chocolate cookie dough recipe, you have to pipe the batter (which is a step I would ordinarily avoid).

Put the butter down! Time for peppermint candy ornaments.

Is it a craft or is it food? I'm not sure exactly - but I love the concept.

I am always looking for holiday traditions that don’t involve cookies. Check out my pomander balls or strawberry santa hats for some other fun ideas.

You can’t get any more easy and fun than strawberry Santa hats.

First of all – no baking. If you are like me, you are sick of baking after the first 2 dozen cookies so these come as a relief.

Secondly, these are far healthier than your regular cookie – makng them both fun and subversive – that is my kind of holiday treat!

These healthy Christmas snacks will be ignored by most of my audience - and it is okay.

I can’t force feed you celery in December and I wouldn’t try. You cannot imagine the amount of butter that has passed through this house and we still have one week to the big day!
