January Journey..Day 3 of my Plant-Based Pescatarian Diet
“Let food be thy medicine.” Hippocrates. This was the opening quote of the 2011 documentary called Forks over Knives that I watched last night on Netflix. It is based on not only eating a plant-based diet like me but also a whole food diet. It was, to say the least, an eye-opener. What I loved …
January Journey…Day 11 of my Plant-Based Pescatarian Diet
Days like today make me so grateful that I have a husband that loves to cook almost as much as I do. Not only did he make a big breakfast for my son and our granddaughters but he made dinner for me later that night as well. Yes, his breakfast was not on my diet …
January Journey…Day 7 of my Plant-Based Pescatarian Diet
One of my strategies for making this a successful journey is utilizing leftovers and trying not to waste food. That is what motivated me on Day 7 to finally make breakfast! Not only that, I even made a nutritional snack! I was quite proud of myself! The other day I had made Mexican tofu crumbles …

Chicken Vegetable and White Bean Soup
Around this time last year, I blogged about my favorite homemade Chicken Noodle Soup from an old Southern Living magazine from the ’90’s that I have updated over the years. It is a winning recipe, I promise! Please see the original link I posted below and give it a try. However, I am working on …
Lasagna…Health “ier” Style
About 2 years, I blogged about a lasagna recipe that I discovered in Cooking Light magazine. Not being a huge lasagna fan, this was one I truly loved and I have spent the past 2 years improving on an already great recipe! The typical lasagna has 600+ calories and this version only has 378 per …
Veggie Stuffed Chicken Enchiladas…A Healthy Twist on a Classic Favorite!

Packed with fresh flavors and ingredients, my Veggies Stuffed Chicken Enchiladas fit the bill when it comes to healthy and tasty! Ingredients …
Thai Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles…A fresh start for 2016
