Cold days are here and there isn't anything better than coming home to a pot full of comfort food, something filling and warm, and something healthy. I'm a huge chili lover. So tonight I decided to make a light chicken chili for the gang. It was pretty easy, and I made if from scratch. INGREDIENTS 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 4 cups chicken stock 1 clove garlic, minced 1 medium onion, diced 1 (15-ounce) … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Pie Whip Dip
Tis the season for comfort food and fall foods. First thing I think of is pumpkin. Pumpkin this, pumpkin that, so I decided to whip up my own concoction as I so often do, totally experimental mind you, and it was a hit. I call it my Pumpkin Pie Whip Dip. Why? Well, it's kinda like pumpkin pie, I whipped it up, and it's a dip.... pretty complicated, right? The best part, seriously, I wanna say it's like almost 0 points if you're a Weight … [Read more...]
Spinach Chips
I have seen kale chips mentioned lots on healthy boards and on recipe posts and even for sale in bags at the store. But I haven't seen as much on spinach… unless I really never took the time to look! … Ok, I haven't. But when I was at the store last week, of course I had on my "I'm going to kick a** and only eat healthy stuff" hat on (you know what I'm talking about, and then it all fails when the fam says let's go out for burgers? lol!!)… I … [Read more...]
Basic Black and White
Classics are classics because they are just that. You can never go wrong by putting together some classic pieces and look stylish and look put together no matter what the occasion. Dress it up or down with your accessories and tweak it to your liking and your personal style. But in my opinion, a crisp white shirt and simple black skirt is one of my can't-go-wrong outfits every girl needs in her wardrobe. My key to take it from OK to WOW is 2 … [Read more...]

S’mores Waffles
You read that right. S'mores waffles. I didn't come up with this one. Actually, I heard this at the salon last week as I was getting my hair cut and colored (and as my mom would say as I was growing up, "I heard it at the beauty shop!"). The gal next to me was saying she was at the Arts Council Festival of the Arts the night before and had the MOST amazing s'mores waffles. My ears PERKED up. I'm like whaaaaaaaaa? ya. I said, "sorry not … [Read more...]

Strategic Planning and Starbucks Giveaway
While I write this blog as a vent for myself, and I write from the heart, I think you can tell by now, very often, I'm not short winded.

I love it when I get comments HERE, comments on social media, shares on social media, when you tell your friends to check out … [Read more...]
