I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...]

I admit it. I was scared to try Bulgur. I didn't even know what it really was? A grain? a special king of rice? What? WHAT? Geesh! Doesn't there seem to be so many new and crazy options in the whole grain department anymore. Right? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy there is but it can [...]

Qui-WHAT? That’s what I said to myself when I started seeing recipes online using this unfamiliar grain. I never heard of it before this year. Researching a bit on the internet I discovered it’s a super grain that’s apparently not a grain at all. It’s related to spinach! WHFood.com lists quinoa in [...]

They ranked right up there with Capri Sun for me. Being in a “controlled income” household both were considered ‘special’ treats for our lunch boxes. What is it about a flat, paper thin “slice” of “fruit”? I loved those sweet sheets of sugary goodness, wrapping them around my index finger and making it last for hours (was I the [...]
When I was a kid, I would BEG my mom for fruit rollups. They ranked right up there with Capri Sun for me. Being in a “controlled income” household both were considered ‘special’ treats for our lunch boxes. What is it about a flat, paper thin “slice” of “fruit”? I [...]

Do you know what Couscous is? Wait, let’s back up, do you know how to pronounce Koos-Koos? Well I’ll be honest, I was a Couscous virgin until tonight. I heard great things, versatile, light, fluffy, easy, you name it, it was said about couscous. So when I came across a whole [...]

Do I just suck it up and use sugar? There has to be a better option, no? First, let’s talk about sugar.

You know I have a soft spot for pizza, right? I even talked about my pizza addiction on my weight loss blog. I’m not kidding it’s bad, real bad. ;~) Being in my, ummmm, 30’s (OMG I’m in my 30’S) I come to the realization that the love of pizza [...]
