I got a new Slow Cooker last week and now I am on a Slow Cooker binge. I’ve used it 4 nights in a row and the boys come home asking what’s in the Slow Cooker tonight? LOL. It’s amazing how a few ingredients thrown together and slowly cooked for hours can make something so simple, […]

I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for new veggie side dishes that taste delicious. I mean, it’s one thing to eat veggies because you know they are good for you and quite another to eat them because they taste amazing. I made this last night with steak that I was broiling, so […]
Hello, my name is Julie and I am a foodie. I love to cook really good food and I love to eat really good food. Over time, I gained some weight. In my 40’s the metabolism just isn’t what it used to be. I “tried” losing weight the last few years doing Weight Watchers. That […]

First, I have to say, this tastes better than the picture shows. The colors look a little bland here once the zucchini and squash cook, don’t be fooled. This is a delicious healthy pasta dish! It is inspired by a dish I had in Rome. Mama mia it was good! In Rome I am sure […]
Who doesn’t love creamy, cheesy, rich alfredo sauce? Too bad the original recipe is a stick of butter, 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 1/2 cups of cheese. This recipe is creamy and flavorful but with 1 Tbsp of butter for 2 cups of sauce (serving 6-8) you can enjoy and still feel good. […]
