I don’t know about you, but I am tired of reading the re-runs of holiday eating tips this time of year. Every time I see the teasers on the cover of every magazine in the grocery store rack, I can’t resist looking to see if anyone has come up with something different than “Bring a[…]
We all need them – quick, easy, delicious, healthy, (and YES, pretty!) meals. I made this last night to go with my baked walleye with almonds. It took very little active cooking time. I love creating dishes when inspiration hits! When the air gets crisp, I crave fall vegetables in hearty dishes with rich flavors. This[…]
It has been over 2 weeks since my last post, quite unusual for me! My son got married in Seattle on Sunday, October 6, and I decided to give myself a break from technology during my 2 weeks on the West Coast. Congratulations to Brent and Marina! May they be this happy for the rest[…]

I love peaches when they are in season! They are so naturally sweet and flavorful – perfect for a healthier dessert option. This recipe is delicious and plenty sweet. In fact, I cut the sugar in half and it was sweet enough for my taste buds. I even roasted the peaches without any of the[…]
This is an important question, one we are too seldom encouraged to ask when we embark on a weight loss plan. Eating habits are not easy to change. They are much harder to change when we forget to ask, “What’s wrong with the big picture?” The approach to obesity and weight loss in the U.S.[…]
I have a confession, not one I am at all ashamed to admit – I really do NOT like bottled light salad dressings. Most of them just don’t taste good! Bottled dressings in general will have more chemical additives than home-made – of course – but the light or fat-free ones tend to have even[…]
