You know what? I love chocolate chip cookies. I mean, really, who doesn't? However, the way I see it, if you're going to splurge, splurge right. There is no sense in chomping on that hard-as-a-rock cookie from a box, unless you happen to find it the best cookie ever. Seriously! If you're gonna splurge, make it count!
Read MoreStrawberry season is upon us. YAY!!! Maybe it stems back from my childhood when we had strawberries and raspberries planted in our side garden, (or maybe it’s just because they’re freaking delicious!) but strawberry season is one of my favorite seasons of the year. Fresh, local strawberries are always the best. Not only because it’s earth happy, but they really do taste better when they’re grown in your vicinity and not from halfway around the world.
Read MoreI’ll admit, I love this holiday. Why? Because I love any and every excuse to eat Mexican food! (Seriously. I love it, and could eat it all the time.) Yeah, I know it may very well be more of an American holiday than a Mexican one, but that’s not going to stop me from noshing on some fajitas and splurging with a little extra guacamole. However with all the delicious Mexican options it’s easy to go overboard with the chips, dips, and margaritas.
Read MoreYeah, we all know that these lovely cocktails are calorie bombs and bloating just waiting to happen.

There are "light" mix versions available, but their taste is less than extraordinary and the way I see it, is if you’re going to splurge ENJOY your splurge!

Read MoreI write to you tonight with a (very) full tummy.
“Say what?!? But I thought you were going to help me be lean, and thin, and healthy, and… “
…starving? Missing out on life? Not a chance. First of all, I’m not a perfect eater. If you’re looking for that person, you should go elsewhere. I love all kinds of food and I love eating food. I look forward to wine and cheese nights with the girls, and there is not much you could do to make me miss out on some Belgian dark chocolate. That being said, it’s all about moderation; in life, and on the road.
Read MoreOkay, I'm not going to lie to you. Cauliflower? I was skeptical. The only time I'd ever eaten cauliflower before was when it was the only thing left on the sad veggie tray someone brought to the party in attempt to be healthy. Oh, and covered in ranch dressing. (Side note... I am that person that brings veggies to parties now... just saying.)
