Who loves a weight loss journey??? The answer is simple. ONLY the people on the outside looking in, at first. After a little bit, it becomes more fun for the ones that are actually living the journey. With that being said, my fiancée (here on out known as my King) and I are going…

No Cow Protein Bar Review
I don’t often write about packaged foods, but with the new healthy lifestyle my love and I are leading, we’re trying different convenience foods. It seems to be quite a daunting task at times to put together something healthy for snack time throughout the day. Shakes are good for breakfast, a light lunch is easy…
Gruyere Butternut Soup? Yes, please!
I do believe that one of the many beauties of food is that we are constantly able to have new experiences by either trying new foods while out or cooking something new. Now, I don’t remember the first time I tried Gruyere, but it was a beautiful moment. It’s the cheese I tell others…
Surprise yourself…you’re worth it!
Some days are harder than others to move forward in life. I have had a few of those in the past few months (maybe quite a bit more than a few, to be honest). Now that it is just me, I find it harder to invest in good meals for myself. It seems like a…
Will Cook for Foo: Week 8–Murdering Eggplant
During the recent Farmer’s Market trip, we ran across some unique looking Eggplants. Now, let me tell you, I don’t really enjoy Eggplant. At least the time I did have them, I didn’t. They just sponge up what liquid they are put in. Usually that’s being fried in oil, and they end up being limp…
Healthy and Delicious Chicken Nuggets in The South
There’s this thing…this stigma…about living in the South. That everything has to be fried. Yes, most of us indulge in a good plate of fried chicken, and some of us over-indulge. But, you know what? It’s ok. If being in the South says that we have to eat fried foods occasionally, I will live in…
Oven-Roasted Asparagus…Amazing!
This household has really become addicted to oven-roasting asparagus. It is so delicious! When preparing the asparagus, you are supposed to bend them towards the bottom and break the ends off. You are supposed to trust the asparagus that it knows where to break itself off. After I have broken all the ends off, I…
Must Try: Hapi Wasabi Peas
One of my first jobs was working as a cashier at a local grocery store. I know a lot of us have went down this path. I didn’t look at food then as I do now. But, what I do remember doing is sifting through this one particular snack mix bin. I don’t see those…
**Healthy** Banana Bread Pancakes
It’s not often that you have seen healthy items on my site. I am working towards making this more prevalent on the site as I reach my goals in life. Recently, Mom sent me a recipe for Banana Bread Pancakes…I LOVE Banana Bread!!! The catch…this recipe contained cottage cheese. Growing up, I remember Mom eating a…
Fluffy, Light, Moist, Easy…What more could you ask for in a cake???
Yes, I used those four words together to describe a cake. A delightfully delicious cake that is a HEALTHY version! Yes, cake and healthy were just in the same sentence. Exciting, eh??? So, in my effort to lead a healthier life, I have been exploring different cookbooks and healthier versions of tried and true southern recipes. This…
Enter…My Imagination
It’s no secret if you have been reading my blog from the beginning…we love peppers, and we love cooking with them! I’ve also been exploring different ways to use vegetables at breakfast on the weekends. Honestly, my breakfasts aren’t very exciting through the week. So, I always try to make something fun for us on…
A New Dawn…
It comes to a point when one looks at their life and realizes that a change needs to happen. Change can be many things. Currently, my change it becoming a healthier me without compromising flavor. I came up with this one, and it was amazingly full of flavor! I chopped a green bell pepper (next…
