January Journey…Day 4 of my Plant-Based Pescatarian Diet
Simple is Sustainable…and that is exactly what Day 4 was for me. It was all about leftovers and a simple dinner with no cooking involved. It was Saturday and my husband was currently out of town. So, it was just me, Lily and Mylo (my feline friends) and my best cuddle buddy, Oscar, my little …

Crab Cakes…Cooking Light Style
My husband, Jeff, LOVES crab cakes! Me, not so much. I find that often they are heavy and “bready” tasting or have too many ingredients that take away from the crab.
