Who needs the starchy, carby noodles when you can have BOWLFULS of this with ZERO guilt!?!

Pesto Fettu-zucchinni with Chicken

Alright, let’s get one thing straight, here. When someone talks about how much the LOVE pasta, it’s not the PASTA they love; it’s the sauce, the preparation. If it wasn’t, and that person loved the noodle, people would be going out to eat noodles. I, for one, can’t recall the last time I went out with someone who ordered a plain bowl of angel hair. So if it’s...

An easy delicious way to make the ordinary green salad extraordinary!

Herb Salad

Good Monday to you! Just wanted to share a way to spice up the ordinary green salad; chop up fresh herbs (in this I chopped up some basil, rosemary, thyme and sage) and toss them into your greens! Top with veggies, protein and Voila! A supportive meal! Biting into the fresh herbs with every mouthful gives a different and more flavorful experience with each bite!

A beautiful, seemingly sinful dessert, but NOT!

Prograde Chocolate Mousse Dessert Cups

A girl who doesn’t like chocolate? Is there such a thing?! Yes, there is, and that girl is ME! While I don’t HATE chocolate, I am easily able to pass it up, and I rarely “need” or “crave” sweets of any kind. I guess I’m lucky in that department, as I know a lot of people struggle with sweet stuff (especially chocolate) in particular. There are...

Cauliflower and salmon atop luscious red lettuce

Summer Salmon Salad

Hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day! Let’s get right back to it, shall we? For this salad, I made a “plate” right on the grill rack with foil, and topped it when the grill was hot with a large bag of frozen cauliflower florets, a 1/2 a medium diced red onion, and topped with italian dressing till the veggies were cooked. Take them off the grill, make a salad with red lettuce...

How to pit a cherry when you don’t have a cherry pitter!

Penny Pinching Cherry Pitting

Say that title 5 times fast Tonight, I was using fresh cherries for something, and found it quite annoying to keep cutting the cherry in half, twisting and getting one perfect-looking pitted cherry half, and one mashed side, as I fought to get the cherry pit out of the side it was still stuck in. I don’t have a cherry pitter, so I took a look around online, and found an ingenious way to...

Pork and Apples recipe, from the Warp Speed Fat Loss Program

Pork & Apples-Warp Speed Fat Loss

My lunch today was un-freakin-believable. Hard to believe really that I’m on a program that has me eating stuff like this that in turn is going to make me a hot-hard-bodied-lean-mean-ab-weilding machine : ) First up, the recipe calls for pork loin, an apple, and salt and pepper. Just a couple of ingredients, and pretty darned good! I grabbed a pork loin and sliced it into medallion shapes,...

Spare-Tire Blasting Ice Cream Sundaes with the kids
