Spring has sprung and it time to change up the menu a bit. I love to eat tomato soup during the spring because it is a light meal, yet extemely satisfying. If it is really hot out, you can also eat the soup cold, OR pour the soup into an ice cube tray and use [...]
When experimenting with a healthy tuna melt I wanted it to be tasty but also low in fat, low in calories and full of veggies, because veggies need to be in every meal. So here’s my version, I think you’ll find that it satisfies your tuna melt desire without sacrificing your healthy eating desire! Healthy Tuna Melt To make tuna [...]
Sweet, salty and tangy…creamy, crunchy and cheesy…sometimes a contrast of flavors and textures really makes a dish sing!

Sweet potato fries are giving good old french fries a run for their money! AND sweet potatoes are healthier than white potatoes.
