Steamed Fresh

Now that the warm weather is here and the fruits and veggies are plentiful, I love to eat a little lighter... And oh how I love mushrooms and squash :) YUMMY!!

Dreaming of azaleas

I want to plant some of these sooo badly! They're gorgeous and it would be so wonderful to be able to look at them whenever I wanted! :) Have any of you planted your own? Any recommendations or advice? Here are some pictures from my neighborhood:

Soul Food

This recipe has all the elements of home style comfort and soul. Try it and you'll make it an instant family favorite just as I did. I found a base recipe online somewhere but made it my own. Here's what you need:

1 package all natural cheese filled tortellini
1 jar Alfredo sauce
Fresh mushrooms diced (however many you like)
Fresh bundle asparagus
Rotisserie chicken breast (your discretion)
1/4 cup shredded cheese

I cook everything and chop it up small except for the tortellini. (I cook that but don't chop it :)). I add it all into a big bowl and stir together until it looks like pure yumminess. Then I transport it into an 8x8 lightly greased baking dish and top with italian breadcrumbs. I bake it at 350 for 10 minutes and top with fresh avocado... Then I devour it until I go into an amazing food coma and promise myself I'll run 5 miles tomorrow lol... Good luck with the latter. ;) and enjoy!! Xo

Fill me up with goodness!!

This is one of my FAVORITE go to snacks for fullness and satisfaction and also health... :)
It's simple and delicious!

1 banana sliced
3 sliced strawberries (approx)
2 tbsp of all natural peanut butter (or almond)
A sprinkle of organic granola

Enjoy xo
