About Me

My photo
Like most people, I love to eat. I love to cook. And as of a year ago on Dec. 26th...I love to do it all in a healthy way. I'm living proof that all you have to do is change minor things in your life and you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. In one year, I changed how I ate (portion control), what I ate (not a lot of fried food, more veggies, less alcohol and sugars) and added a little exercise in my life (3-4 days a week for 30-45 minutes). And at the end I am 52 lbs lighter :) That was 3 years ago… and I've kept the weight off. These recipes have helped me keep it off and are easily adaptable for any and all diets. Just use a little imagination and let your stomach guide you :)

Another roast beef...

Roast beef with mashed potatoes, salad and peaches


What you need:

1. Beef roast (I always use angus shoulder roast)
2. 1 cup water
3. 1 packet Lipton Onion soup mix

1. 3 baking potatoes
2. 1 teaspoon sour cream
3. 1/4 cup milk
4. 1 Tablespoon butter

1. 1 head lettuce
2. 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3. 1/2 cup bacon pieces
4. 1/4 cup ranch dressing (or any dressing, that's just my favorite)

Peaches were canned; open, drain, enjoy.


What you do:

1. Put roast into crock pot
2. Add water
3. Add soup mix
4. Set to low and cook for 6-8 hours

1. Cut potatoes in quarters
2. Boil potatoes until soft
3. Peel skin (or leave it on, but I don't eat it)
4. Mix with milk, sour cream, and butter
5. Salt and pepper to taste

1. Cut up lettuce
2. Add other ingredients.

Healthy choices:

1. No sour cream, butter, or ranch dressing. Substitute it with milk, pepper, and vinaigrette dressings.
2. Eat extra salad instead of potatoes.
