I can’t help but keep the chicken wrap ideas coming. Chicken is a great, healthy, lean protein that can really become redundant and boring. It’s such a good food choice that I think it’s important to come up with ways to keep it interesting and exciting. Buffalo Wing Wrap 3-4 ounces white meat chicken marinated [...]

One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast is a grapefruit. I just find it so thirst quenching first thing in the morning. I personally think eating fruit first thing is a great way to wake up your digestive system after a nights sleep. Fruit is actually considered to be predigested, so when eaten on an empty stomach  your body can [...]

Who Knew ? I was at the grocery store the other day craving ice cream. I browsed the freezer isle reading label after label looking for a satisfying low fat option. Not to mention that I took my time to compare one brand to the next. By the end of my ice cream adventure, I was very cold. [...]

I don’t know about you but I sure bought into the myth (that’s right, I said it) of turkey bacon. Here I am eating turkey bacon thinking it’s healthier for me than real bacon (you know, the stuff made from a pig). Well, ladies and gents, I got some good news. You’re actually better to [...]

There is this rumor out there that Bananas are not good for you because they’re higher in sugar than other fruits. I’d like to try to clarify this for you. Banana’s are not only good for you, they are fantastic! *One medium banana (about 7 inches in length) packs over 400 mg of potassium and only contains [...]

When I crave chocolate, nothing but chocolate is going to satisfy me. I’m very happy I was introduced to Vita Muffins!

They come in a variety of flavors, my favorite of course is deep chocolate. At 100 calories a pop [...]

Oatmeal is a heart healthy food! It’s a great source of soluble fiber-  that’s that type that helps to lower your cholesterol levels. The problem is, there are so many different types of oatmeal to choose from, how do you know you’re buying the right kind? Instant Oatmeal This oatmeal has been rolled and pressed to be as thin as it [...]

I was just asked what snack I like to grab on the go when I’m in a rush. This is one of my top choices! Lara Bars. I love these bars because they are one of the few on the market that are preservative free and still taste delicious. They come in all sorts of flavors, my favorite is Cashew Cookie. My husbands [...]

Which should you eat, a potato or a sweet potato? The rumor out there is that potatoes are bad for you while sweet potatoes are good for you. Here’s the truth – both pack a nutrient rich punch and both are good for you for different reasons! Potatoes don’t make you fat, it’s the portion you eat  and [...]

I’ve been making a lot of soup lately. I generally use chicken bouillon cubes to create the base for my soups and go from there. My soups are healthy, full of vegetables and low in fat! But there is something in my soups I didn’t account for! – I flipped the package of bouillon over [...]
