I have been OBSESSED with hard-boiled eggs and egg whites lately. Literally. I hard-boiled 2 dozen eggs last Tuesday and they are gone. I eat mostly the whites, but occasionally treat myself to the yolk. I have nothing against the yolk. In fact, it’s incredibly good for you! I just live within a certain calorie…
First of all, sorry I have been MIA!! I have fallen victim to the trendy green smoothie! I have always been the one to say,”I don’t enjoy drinking my calories!” Nothing is more disappointing to me than slurping up 300-400 calories for a sadly small smoothie. Not to mention the lingering starvation I feel about 10 minutes…
Hi guys! Happy New Year! Sorry for the lack of recipes on my blog lately. No real excuse more than being too busy. I promise, it’s one of my new year’s resolutions to post a recipe once a week. Starting today! Here’s a quick, easy, and convenient dinner option for a busy weeknight. It fits…
And it begins. My attempt to incorporate spaghetti squash into every meal possible. Honestly, I think it really can be used as a carb swap in almost any kind of dish. And I really never even considered using it in a Mexican dish until I was left with some enchilada chicken and cooked spaghetti squash.…
Time for a little indulgence. It’s Halloween after all! I am all for a healthy lifestyle, but I also think that includes a little decadence here and there. These cupcakes are perfect for those times! I think I have expressed my love for Sally’s Baking Addiction before, and here I go again. If you haven’t yet,…
Welcome to the newest section addition to my blog: Photography! I have been trying to branch out from just food photography and photograph people, too! I love the idea of photographing babies, children, families, and most especially, weddings! I hope to eventually have a side business doing this – once I get better! Anyway, here…
Happy Sunday everyone! How has the New Year been treating you? Has anyone tried to follow along these meals plans? I know it will be much more helpful one I compile more days on here for guidance, but always just use these days as a guide for others! Example: mix it up by changing out…
Hi all! As promised, each Sunday (and hopefully more if I have time! We’re moving homes soon…) you will get a new day in your meal plan schedule to slim down and shape up in 2014. Let me know how you like it! Make sure to fit in some exercise into your days to increase…
Happy 2014! Wow, I can’t believe how fast 2013 flew by, and this post is a long time coming! I have been wanting to share with you all how I do a healthy slim down, and also introduce you to my healthy eating lifestyle by sharing an eating plan with exercise tips. Below you will…
Woooooo!! Happy 1st birthday to Callie Cooks (Sept 18)! I really have a hard time believing it’s already been 1 year since my very first post: Funfetti Donuts. That very first post actually made appearances on Gourmet Live and Babble. Pretty exciting! In addition, my Carrot Cake Donuts made the cut on a Buzz Feed post!!!…
While I typically make simple, clean dinners, with the loom of fall on us (HA! It’s still 90 degrees in the valley of LA) a comforting baked pasta dish sounded appropriate. I’ve been eyeing this recipe on Kraft.com for quite some time, wanting to make a few adjustments to bulk it up and bring down…
So admission: this recipe was totally supposed to be a burger, but the meat mixture was too thin to hold as a burger, so I got creative and divided it up into a muffin tin. Meatloaf minis! Ta-da! These are full of buffalo flavor, with none of the fat from being fried. Yes, these are…
Hi! So sorry I have been a little MIA lately. I kept telling myself I needed to write this post as I made and photographed it weeks ago, but I either was too busy, or too lazy to do it! Normally I spend my Saturday mornings/afternoons working on my blog, but it’s been a couple…
I am big on getting a big serving size for a small amount of calories. Perhaps I even eat too many massive bowls of just lettuce with vinegar. (I know that sounds weird, but I don’t eat it because I want to lose weight or anything, I eat it because I literally crave it!) Anyway,…
Who says you have to be a child and/or take in a zillion calories to have a waffle sandwich? This slimmed-down sandwich is all kinds of good! At less than 250 calories, this breakfast (or lunch or dinner!) meal is packed with whole grains, spinach, and protein. Yay! I will take you back a couple…
