Welcome!

A cottage cheese snack can be a perfect way to make it to the next meal. But cottage cheese is so boring on its own!

What can you do with it? Toss some stuff in it! You have to love the nutritional profile of cottage cheese as it is a low calorie way to get some protein.

This easy iced coffee is for those of use who want to save some money. You know that you can make excellent iced coffee at home.

As the heat cranks up outside, hot coffee just seems silly. It seems that everywhere is selling you a nice cold iced coffee - gas stations, convenience stores, Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts……

This chia seed chocolate pudding recipe is for those who want to dip their toes in the chia seed pool. About 4 years ago, I wondered why anyone would use chia seeds for anything.

All I could think about with chia seeds was chia pets. Those cute little terracotta buggers didn’t look edible.

Low calorie cereal is easy to make. I know you want to buy it - but it tastes much better to make it.

I know that there are people out there who will take on look at this recipe and decide it isn’t low calorie. But, I would argue that it isn’t good enough to be simply low calorie -you can do that with Rice Krispies - you also need nutrition that gets you off on the right foot for your day.

These easy refrigerator pickles should live in your fridge. Bored with the same old food – add pickles!

I make these pickles for my husband who then devours them and attempts to drink the pickle juice (which has become a thing).

These fresh strawberry recipes will inspire you to buy pounds and pounds of fresh strawberries.

The easiest fresh strawberry dish is – wash and eat! (I guess that isn’t really a recipe).

Desserts with strawberries will be instantly healthier than your regular chocolate cakes or crème brulees because you are using fruit. Fruit is naturally low in calories, low in sugar, and higher in fiber than almost any dessert item that I can think of.

These fresh asparagus recipes will help shape your cooking for the next month. When I walked into my local grocery store, there was a wall of asparagus greeting me.

I said, “Hello, asparagus!”

It did not reply.

This healthy shakshuka recipe is for those who have never even heard of shakshuka.

I hadn’t heard of it either until I encountered it on a brunch menu in Mexico (over a year ago). What is this mysterious “shakshuka”? I did know I was going to like it because it has tomatoes and eggs (a great combo).

This chocolate chia pudding recipe is for those people who LOVE Jello pudding but need a healthier alternative.

One tablespoon of chia seeds has more calcium than a glass of milk, more Omega-3s than Salmon, and more antioxidants than blueberries!! Take that Jello!

These gluten free peanut butter cookies can be made with ingredients in your pantry. Nothing fancy here!

I have literally a ton of peanut butter. Peanut butter is one of those foods that my family cannot go without and it is incredibly nutritious.
