This recipe was sponsored by Dairy Makes Sense. Along with making some healthy life-changes for my family – we are slowing replacing some of the ‘bad’ foods that my kids have come to love and enjoy.  The first exchange that I tackled was the Chicken Nugget. My kids adore chicken nuggets – and being that we live 3 blocks from McDonalds and pass it on the way home every day, they often beg for nuggets.  Not that we stop at {Read More}

I recently shared about my husbands favorite dipping sauce for fondue: The Green Goddess; and now I’m going to share my favorite: Curry. Mmmmm… Just the word Curry makes my mouth happy with this sauce.

Believe it or not: my favorite course of a 3 course fondue is the main course.  While I do love the cheese and the chocolate: something about ultimately juicy tender steak dipped into my favorite sauces and the perfection of broccoli cooked in vegetable broth… it just makes my mouth water thinking about it! Every time I’ve ever gone to the Melting Pot – they’ve recommended the ‘other’ Cooking Styles that are an upcharge.  I see why – but I’ve {Read More}

I didn’t officially make a ‘Resolution’ this year for weight loss – but rather a generalized sense of knowing that I need to change some things in order to be more healthy! I explained in my last post that I am quickly becoming a Juicing ‘Convert’ and find myself craving the juice in the morning (battling my coffee cravings!). My favorite juicing recipe is one that I’ve adapted from a few of my favorites: I call it Pineapple Green Lemonade. {Read More}
