My Journal

Light and Delicious Coconut Crusted Tilapia + a “Mama-tini”
I love food way too much to be chomping on lettuce and carrot sticks and calling it a day!! I am a "flavor gal"- and of course, it has to be full of flavor without the junk that weighs us down. Remember, eat real food, feel real good. When real food that makes you...

Sunday Morning Inspiration- Live Like You Were Dying
My Little Man loves Tim McGraw. He's 2 years old, and it's so sweet to listen to him sing Tim songs. This morning he sang proudly, "Live Like You Were Dying". Such a meaningful, inspiring song- watching the Man sing it brought tears to my eyes, and as I listened to...
The Simplest Squash Soup Ever!

Putting Up the Tree: An Unexpected Twist
