Cucumber Salsa
FRESH Food is the Best! I don’t think that there is any argument to that. If you had fresh strawberries being put in a blind taste test against thawed strawberries from the freezer, I am sure the fresh ones would win. Or if you had …

Green Breakfast Smoothie
Mornings are Busy ~ Life is Busy ~ Breakfast is Important Skipping Breakfast is a really bad choice! If you have an extra 5 minutes in the morning, you can whip up a healthy breakfast smoothie every morning (which is as simple as your favorite …
Celery & Peanut Butter
March is National Celery Month. 
Celery is a vegetable with many health benifits & myths surrounding it. There is a TON of Vitamin K in Celery, it will hold many of its nutritional values when cooked, it helps with your digestive tract, and supports cardiovascular health. Additionally celery helps with weight loss because of the amount of “dietary bulk” you are getting from it – few calories for much food

March is (also) National Peanut Month (peanut butter is made from peanuts – hence the use of peanut butter in this post).
Peanut Butter may be relatively high in fats, but they are all natural and has a wide range of other nutrients filling its container. Peanut Butter is a great source of proteins, so even those who do not eat animal proteins can (and should) enjoy lots of this stuff (unless they are one of the many people who are allergic to nuts). Another interesting fact: the patent for Peanut Butter was obtained by a Canadian in the late 1800s and Peanuts are a native food to the Americas.

My Favorite Salad
This is my Go-To Salad! It is so easy to put together, and tastes like a million bucks (but barely costs any bucks). Years ago when I used to go to a friend’s house for dinner; his mom would make a huge salad whenever she …
Spinach Sausage Soup
Soup may be one of my favorite meals!
I love a nice bowl of soup pretty much all winter long! The other night I came home from skiing all day and needed to throw together something filling and healthy (and fast) and the result is what you see here…
Now that we have reached January, the Holiday Season is over and people are often really trying to watch what they eat (until Valentines Day at least). This soup is really light and healthy for you by itself. If you want something more filling, feel free to serve some crusty bread (or grilled cheese) along with a piping hot bowl of this soup.
