Welcome!

Mexican zucchini boats are for those that love burritos but not burrito tummy. You know what I am talking about!

The burrito sits in your belly and you moan, “How did I eat the whole thing?”

These boats are like burritos without the moaning. You use zucchini - which is great replacement for foods like pasta - check out pasta and zucchini recipe and baked zucchini lasagna.

This year, 2021, WW (Weight Watchers) added new unlimited virtual workshops for their members. I decided to dive in to see what they have to offer.

I have written a bunch about WW over the years because so many of my readers use it to help them lose weight and get healthier.

I don’t want to act like I can see into the future or had a premonition about the pandemic. I did not.

But, last January I wrote - Why Are Vaccines Important? - in an attempt convince my readers to look into their vaccination record and ensure they were up to date.

This fast banana bread gets its speed from a waffle iron.

To say that I am a bit obsessed with my waffle iron is an understatement. I have made both an banana peanut butter waffle and a waffle potato bite.

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.

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.

Are you tired of asking yourself, "What am I going to make for dinner?"

My cookie consumption reached new highs over the holidays and I am looking for solutions. My friend, Kristen, came up with one that works -Slender Kitchen Meal Plans.

Every year since I started this blog I have written a New Year: New You piece. I find myself looking at ways I want to improve and I use Snack Girl to encourage everyone to set goals.

This year is different. First of all, as you might have noticed - it is already January 2nd and I haven’t sent out a post. I am already a day late and the year just started!!

Healthy baked oatmeal is always a hit in my house. It is like a muffin (and like a pudding).

I talk about oatmeal a lot and have featured two overnight recipes - Crockpot oatmeal with old fashioned oats and overnight oatmeal with chia seeds.

This is the best vegetable soup recipe on my whole block! Or maybe in this house?

You are probably thinking that you need to figure out a way to move on from all that butter from the holidays. Don't feel guilty!! You enjoyed yourself. Now, pick up your game and start the new year with this soup.
