Seafood is good for you. So is kale.
Often the excuse that I hear for people not eating either of these this is because they either don’t know how to prepare it, or that it takes too much time. This recipe busts both excuses and is a nice, easy, entry-level recipe to both Kale and fish! As long as you like tomatoes, you’re golden! Oh… and did I mention it’s super quick and easy?
Read MoreIt’s HERE!!!!!! Cookout/BBQ/Picnic season! We’ve been waiting all year for it to come back… and we’ve been working hard in the gym and in the kitchen. What we DON’T want to do is let the festivities derail us and undo all our hard work. On the other hand, we don’t want to feel like we have to deny ourselves.

I eat breakfast food any time I want!).

Seeing that I wrote about this last year, you can probably pick up on the fact that I love any excuse to eat Mexican (Tex-Mex) style cuisine. I know the holiday is pretty much an American thing, but whatever. I’ll eat my Fish Tacos and Fresh guac with pride and pleasure.
Oh, and did I mention that I’ll totally do it guilt free? Oh yes I will. Below is my Guilt-Free Cinco de Mayo menu this year.
Read MoreBoy oh boy, this time of the year is HARD! It the end of winter, the weather is playing with your emotions (warm, cold, rain, snow- who knows, really?), taxes are impending, and motivation seems to be at an all time low.
And then it happens. You may have even forgot you ordered them until that sweet little girl (or her mom) reminds you that you owe her $21 (because who can buy one box, really?). Uh oh. your cookies are here... all 6 boxes of them.
