Hi friends! So, one night I was making spaghetti for my family when I had a craving for French bread. I usually skip the bread and just eat my zoodles but sometimes you just need to fulfil those cravings, so you don’t feel so deprived and just binge out. Everything in moderation! while I could have simply just eaten a regular slice of French Bread, I decided to make my own batch with a higher protein count and that didn’t take long to make because as many of you know I have four kiddos that love to ask for...

I don’t know about you, but I have a very big, sweet tooth! That was one of the hardest things for me to give up when I first started to lose weight. My friends would laugh because I would say I’m going to diet and next thing you know I’m outside eating a Hostess cupcake. It takes a lot of determination and will power to make a big lifestyle change. Once you get used to it, it gets easier to turn down the sweets. Simple swaps make a huge difference. I love cheesecake but a traditional is very calorie...
IGT(Insufficient Glandular Tissue) Got Milk?
April 14, 2025
Hello friends, today I want to talk about IGT.I feel like it really isn’t spoke about too much. Insufficient Glandular Tissue (IGT) refers to a condition in which a woman’s breast tissue does not develop or function adequately to produce enough milk supply for breastfeeding. It is also known as hypoplasia of the mammary glands or breast hypoplasia. Women with IGT typically have breasts that are underdeveloped and contain fewer milk-producing glands. It has nothing to do with breast size. Women with large breast can also suffer from IGT. I never knew of IGT until my last pregnancy. I...
Hello friend! Today I am going to share a childhood favorite! Growing up my mom always made poke cakes during the summer. She made them a lot for 4th of July and decorated it with blueberries and strawberries. It was so yummy and a delicious treat. A poke cake is a type of dessert that involves poking holes in a baked cake (I like to use the bottom of a wooden spoon.) and then filling those holes with some kind of liquid or filling. The liquid or filling usually adds flavor and moisture to the cake, making it more...
🌯 Healthier California Burrito (Air Fryer Fries + Low Carb Wrap!) Hey friends! Let’s talk about one of the best burritos ever created — the California Burrito. This mouthwatering meal originated in sunny San Diego and is known for its flavorful carne asada, crispy French fries, cheese, and fresh toppings, all wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla. But here’s the twist… I’ve put together a lightened-up version of this classic that keeps all the flavor and satisfaction, without all the extra calories and fat. 🙌 🌟 What Makes a California Burrito Special? Unlike a typical burrito, the California burrito includes one very iconic (and indulgent)...
Fruit spring rolls are a delicious and light twist on the traditional spring roll. Instead of the usual savory fillings, these spring rolls are filled with a variety fruits (it is best to use in season fruits so it doesn’t cost so much), making these spring rolls a light and healthy dessert or snack option. My kids love being able to help make their food. It makes them more likely to actually eat it. Here’s how we made our spring rolls: Ingredients: -Rice paper wrappers (You can use brown or white but for our recipe we are using white.)...
Hello friends! I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love Mexican food—and one of my all-time favorites is Pork Chili Verde.

I’ve done every diet you can think of—low carb, no carb, juice cleanses, fasting, you name it. All that yo-yo dieting eventually led me down a dark road: I developed a full-blown eating disorder. For a long time, that number on the scale ruled my life. If it wasn’t low enough, I wouldn’t eat for the day. That mindset landed me in the hospital. My body was so malnourished that my heart rate dropped into the 30s while I slept. I was terrified I’d need a pacemaker. It was a wake-up call. Eventually, I realized what I truly needed...
