It has been too long since I sat down and wrote a post. At first when I thought about it, I couldn't even think what to write about next, a few weeks have passed, now it has been almost 2 months and my brain is having a tough time focusing on where to start. I need to update you on the kids' health, my Mounjaro journey, Christmas time, feeling like I don't know what I want to do next... so where do I even start?

Trying to eat more salads and having a 19 year old son at home is a bit of an oxymoron! Or at least I think that is an example of an...

This salad is familiar to me as my mom loves to make a poached pear salad with blue cheese. I used a mix of romaine lettuce and arugula...

Did you know hormones are kind of like little Uber Drivers that send messages to your organs and tissues? These Uber Drivers carry...

This one is not from the Delish Magazine, but solely inspired by myself and what I think will match a store bought Moroccan meatball...

I made this one pretty close to how it says, but sadly it is not my favourite. Why? Because I don't like fish - ba, ha! So you may like...

I always find the names for these salads interesting, as there are so many different items in this salad that are equal to the avocado...

As always I used this salad as an inspiration only... or I did not do a very good job following instructions - lol! However you want to...

This is the very first recipe in the magazine and it is classified in "All the Greens" section. I am going to rotate through the...

Anyone who has tried to lose a significant amount of weight has learned that losing weight is not a linear line downward, well sometimes...

I am loving it! What's not to love? I get to do what I want when I want and have as much or as little to do as I choose. There are...

I shame myself more than the combined amount of shaming I get from family, friends or strangers. Is it because I am overweight or is it...

I took this book out from the library last week and have to say it is really striking a chord with me. First off, the author, Oonagh is...
