Healthy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
Two Southern Sweeties Healthy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites Have y’all seen how Cauliflower has become the new go to for healthy eating? There are recipes for everything cauliflower… Honey Garlic Baked, Parmesan Roasted, General Tso’s, Riced, Mashed and of course Buffalo.

A Healthy Body And Mind

In this current global pandemic, it’s more important than ever we focus on mindfulness.

A vital component in this adaptation process is to give proper attention to mind/body/spirit wellness – which the practice of Yoga…

Southwest Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Southwest Stuffed Spaghetti Squash A good friend of mine, Eileen, rarely eats meat. She started this way of eating after her daughter became a Pescatarian. Someone who is a Pescatarian does not eat meant but does eat fish. Well anyways, she is a huge “foodie” just as I am. We are always looking for new recipes and trying them out. Do you have any idea how hard it is to do that with someone that doesn’t eat meat? Ha Ha!! I found a recipe recently that sounded really good and reminded me of both Eileen and her daughter. I figured I would give it a try as Tom is always…

Would you at least try doing them for a week or so? When I was younger I used to just pop out of bed and go about my day. It never occurred to me that there could be a proper or good way to start my day and that I wouldn’t even have to leave my bed to do it. Now that I am older, I try to do things at a…

Easy Baked Brown Rice
This easy baked brown rice is a staple that everyone should have in your refrigerator. Ok, I admit it, I am a carb fanatic!!! I have been trying to eat a bit healthier and these past several years, I just haven’t been able to wrap my tongue around “brown rice” …UNTIL NOW!!! This is very flavorful and almost tastes like white rice. It works well with everything, including eating it plain right out of a bowl (one of my favorite ways, truth be told. When you keep a pan of this in the fridge you can easily add it to a soup or a stew. It is also great to warm…
