Recipes

These are some of my favorite recipes, and YES, I have cooked quite a few of them!! I love to cook, and I love to eat which makes my weight loss goals very hard to accomplish. Some of these are super simple and you can do them with your kids, or just something simple for you and your honey for a romantic quiet dinner when the kids hit the sack.

Either way these are pretty awesome! Make sure to let us know how they turned out for you, and if you want to, share a picture of the outcome! I can’t wait to see your creations.
