I’m still recovering from the fact that my husband loved this dish last night. I didn’t tell them what it was until he had taken several bites. Being on this path to healthy living, I’ve been doing a lot of reading and research about food so I know that potatoes are on the bad side of carbohydrates.

Because he liked the Mashed Cauliflower, it’s not too bad that only 1 out of the 3 kids liked them too. Add my thumbs up to the mix for a 3 out of 5 in favor, and I’ll defintly be making these again soon. I encourage you to give them a try – they’re easy and healthy. And it’s a guarantee at least a few in your family will like them. read more…

So, I ventured out of the veggie-norm of corns and peas to try radicchio [rah-DEE-kee-oh] which is also known as chicory. Kind and helpful Brian at Produce Express in the newly opened downtown Chicago French Market pronounced radicchio perfectly and advised that it is good roasted and grilled. In addition to… read more…
On this path to a healthy life, I’m reading and listening to all things health – all of my Tweeter friends (shout out to the mamavation ladies), SparkPlug articles, the Dr Oz show, my fat loss program’s Beverly Monical of totalwellnesstv.com and fitness-guru Melissa Bierman – and while it certainly can be overwhelming at times, my wellness education level has increased dramatically. And now I believe that paying special attention to my blood sugar can really help me lose this weight and contribute to my healthy life.
Let me give you a quick and easy run-down of what I’ve learned…. read more…
No one can argue that I have been a bit cranky and not my usual cheery self the last two weeks. (God bless my husband, who is never 100% right, but certainly doesn’t deserve my bitchiness.) Long story short… read more…
Now, even a beta mom desperately trying to get healthy by eating well and working out like a fiend still has to try and look her best! In my past reviews, I’ve recommended the two best ways to get your sandpaper-feet smooth (here and here), how to cover up those things you don’t want anyone to see and even the cutest bags to store all your junk in. Time for a beauty product review!
Allow me to begin by explaining that I really like Bobbi Brown cosmetics and books. read more…
