I’ve had a great week of workouts. It’s funny what the mind can do when it comes to exercise. I just felt like stepping it up and once Monday rolled around I pushed myself more than I have lately. I got in a nice variety- 2 days of treadmill running, 2 days of Insanity and…
Stress Management for a Healthy Lifestyle
We are on day 3 of the DietBet I am hosting. I am so exited that over 30 people joined, making the pot $875! I know that I have been very aware of what I have been putting in my mouth. I usually eat healthy, but totally admit to shoving a piece of bread with…

Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce + Benefits of Eggs
I am always on the look out for new ways to eat my eggs. This might look like a strange combo but it was delicious! I love eggs and yes there is some controversy about their health benefits. Depending on the source and your personal reaction to them, they might not be best for you….
Join My DietBet! Lose Weight, Win Money, Have Fun!
Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a restful wonderful day. We hosted a small New Year’s party for my husband’s work team- ate lots of great BBQ and fantastic desserts. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t eat too much. I don’t get on the scale very often but my jeans are…

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus & Meal Planning
I have mentioned before that I love serving vegetables for appetizers. They fill you up on less calories plus it’s just nice to get extra veggies into the meal. These are a little more sinful than regular roasted veggies because of the addition of the salty crispy prosciutto. They’ve got the red and green going…
Crostini with Whipped Feta and Tomatoes
This is hands down one of my favorite appetizers ever. I made it for the first time a while back when my mom was in town and we ate it several nights for dinner. Wine and crostini. What more do you need? By the way, have you ever wondered the difference between crostini and bruschetta?…
Roasted Vegetables and Cheese Tray Appetizer & Meal Planning
Ahh, Halloween is over and two of my children’s birthdays have come and gone and now I can focus on family visiting for Thanksgiving and our trip to San Diego! Plus I can hopefully crank out lots of recipes between now and Christmas- such a busy time of year! In the military typically when you…
Jalapeno-Ginger Butternut Squash Soup
Butternut squash are common winter squash, but because they store so well are available year-round. Butternut squash not only has a gorgeous hue, they are sweet and rich when cooked. I don’t cook with squash on a regular basis, but this is one of my favorite ways to use it! It is super healthy yet…
