One of the things that I love about the new Weight Watchers Freestyle program is that there really are no foods completely off limits. Everything has a point value; it is all about making better-for-you choices. Now I really do love a good burger. I mean, who doesn’t? Well, lucky me – I have a …
One of my go-to weeknight dinners is a fresh and delicious taco salad. I make this up often since it is yummy, healthy, fast, and everyone in the family loves it! For years I used to keep the store bought packets of taco seasonings on hand, and then I discovered how easy it was able …
I recently celebrated my birthday! I gotta’ say that turning 55 felt momentous. I believe there is something about the double fives that feels special. My first thought when I awoke on my birthday, was that I had outlived both of my grandfathers. Neither one made it to 55. Plus, I am more than a …

Isn’t Super Bowl …
Cutting out sugar has been challenging! I admit that I am dealing with cravings – especially chocolate. I simply love dark chocolate! But what has been easier than I thought it would be is starting each day sugar-free with an easy to make, fast in the morning, delicious breakfast! What I’m Eating for Sugar-Free Breakfasts …

Simply put, cocktails, beer, and wine can be high in carbohydrates, and sugars. But what’s a person to do when it is still vacation and you plan a day in Carmel to lunch with …
Today starts day three of my 31 day challenge of going sugar-free. So far it is not too bad, but I am sad to see my Christmas cookie binge come to an end. I had so much fun baking this year with some of my daughters, but by the time the baking was done, we …
