Recipes

Now, as many of you know, I like to eat HEALTHY!! But I know it can get super boring sometimes. So over the years, I have tried to come up with a number of really healthy recipes that are low in calories, and actually taste yummy too!! I like to eat lots of lean meats, veggies, and fruits! I try as hard as I can to stay kind of low-carb, but I LOVE bread and crackers and rice and pasta and pretty much everything, so I have to have my good sometimes :)

Another disclaimer: I do eat sugar-free things once in a while. I try not to drink soda at all, but when I do, it's diet. I use stevia instead of sugar. But again, this is in small amounts. I use it to sweeten things like oatmeal, desserts, and just things in small doses. I do drink zero-calorie Vitamin Water too. But that is sweetened with stevia too, and honestly, I truly believe that if you have it in small doses, it will not hurt you. I have lost 20 + pounds while still having artificial sweeteners every so often, so I don't think a little bit of it is bad. Moderation, people!! ;)
