I really love spicy chicken wings. Actually I like anything spicy, especially spicy margaritas Those muddled jalapeño peppers in the bottom, that first tangy sip….sigh….but I digress. Ok people the number one thing I try to teach people about eating healthy……drum roll please! Being prepared! The easiest way to do this is to overcook! Yep leftovers! If your already at the grill or throwing something in the oven and getting.. Read More
Yes I know, cauliflower crust is not a new invention. Maybe you were like me and kept thinking, hmmm that might work, but it’s too much work, or whats the point? Well, I finally tried it and guess what? It wasn’t that much work and yep it was worth it! Is this like deep dish pizza from pizza hut? Nope, it doesn’t really even taste like pizza dough but it creates.. Read More
I’ve been on a Mediterranean kick lately. I am in love the flavors that encompass some of these countries such as Greece, Morocco and Spain. There are actually 21 countries having a coastline on the Mediterranean, all with different flavor influences. Some of my favorite tastes include garlic, mint, olive oil and olives, oregano, cumin, paprika, turmeric, saffron, anchovies, rosemary and thyme. In particular I really love a spice blend called..

I had to include the word decadent in the description because it’s how I felt when I was eating this. Holy wow! This burger is moist and flavorful. Please don’t get fat-free turkey, a little dark meat is not going to hurt you! I promise. These toppings worked in harmony but feel free to mix and match them. I served on a portobello “bun” but feel free to use a.. Read More
What’s in your barbecue sauce? Ever look at the label? High Fructose corn syrup, caramel color, sodium benzoate, sugar, soybean oil, hydrolyzed corn or soy protein, artificial flavors, yellow 6 and red 40? Yikes! You can find some decent ones if you really read the labels but if you want to know exactly what’s going into your food and want one without added white sugar, then try this out! It.. Read More
I’m a huge fan of coconut wraps as a substitute for tortillas or bread but some people don’t like the flavor. I have not had much luck in finding a gluten free or grain free bread that I really like. Plus really? $10.99 for a loaf of bread? I’ve experimented with a few recipes and came up with this one recently and I really like it! It has a very.. Read More
Meatloaf its such a un-appetizing sounding word kind of like fruitcake or Spam, I don’t know why it reminds me of that but whatever. It’s ridiculously easy to make its cheap and best of all everyone will like it! You know why? If they don’t like meatloaf just slice it and serve it on a bun and you have a hamburger! This one is extra special because it has bacon.. Read More
No long explanation for this one….You take a yummy home made dressing and pour it over some spiralized vegetable noodles add some sesame seeds and a protein on the side (or right to the salad!) and you have an instant lunch or dinner. Tip: spiralize some vegetables at the beginning of the week to have on hand for meals. Store in bags or containers in the refrigerator to keep fresh. I have found.. Read More
So I admit I am a huge ramen fan (no not the fake stuff in the package) the real stuff! I have waited on the steps of Totto Ramen in NYC to be squished into a little table in the most narrow restaurant you will ever eat in, no A/C, but totally worth it! As I have adjusted my diet to be grain free and have become obsessed with my.. Read More
I guess this is kind of like Carbonara but with out hot pasta water you can’t really get the creamy texture and the egg ends up scrambled. But guess what? Who cares! This is healthier and so delicious you won’t miss the cream or the cheese! I kind of dream about this dish often……. Get a vegetable spiralizer here!I guess this is kind of like Carbonara but with out hot.. Read More
