Chocolate Mint Smoothie
When I made this smoothie, I was thinking of either a York peppermint patty or an Andes chocolate mint. Both are tasty treats. Neither is a healthy option though. To tackle those cravings for a chocolatey mint dessert, I came up with my Chocolate Mint Smoothie...
Andes Chocolate Mint Pie
This pie is not my usual healthy recipe...I made this pie up many years ago for a Holiday dessert and ever since that first year, it is requested every year. Everyone always compliments me on it and my family fights over the extras, if there are any and usually there aren’t...It’s ready in about 10 minutes...
Jessie's Easy Slow Cooker Veggie Chili
This chili recipe is low in sodium, fat and calories! Plus, it’s high in protein and fiber; and oh so easy! Chili is one of the most commonly made dishes in the fall and winter months, when the weather outside is cooler and you want something to warm you up from the inside...It is packed full of nutrition from the super colorful veggies...
Eggless Eggnog Smoothie
I am not a fan of drinking eggnog because the whole consuming raw eggs makes my tummy feel funny. But, when something is flavored like it, without the raw egg...I’m all for it. Around the holidays, there are lots of temptations, and I thought why not make a healthy version of one of the most often consumed drinks during the holidays...
Pecan Pie Protein Bites
These are fantastic! I love pecans, they are the sweetest nuts on the planet and my favorite of all nuts...That’s why I made these delicious Pecan Pie Protein Bites, so I can have my pecan fix, but keep it to a healthy serving...
Creamy and Spicy Soup
This soup is just like what the title says, spicey! It also has a fantastic sweetness too! I love that it is creamy, but is dairy free and vegan. It’s hard to figure out creamy dishes that don’t use actual dairy or cream in them. The peanut butter is what helps cut some of the spice and adds that delicious creamy texture...
Gingerbread Cookie Smoothie
At some point during the holidays everyone comes face to face with a gingerbread cookie in some form. Weather it be a gingerbread cookie house, or an iced gingerbread cookie, or even true gingerbread. They all look and taste good, and they aren’t the worst treat you can have either. However, gingerbread cookies definitely have room for improvement when it comes to being healthy...

This is my favorite Rory painting to date. It truly captures the essence of Rory. In this painting her eyes are so expressive, which is how Rory really is. She has so much character...
Volcano
This was the first painting I painted before my surgery to remove my cancer. I like to think that it is representational of my journey to rid my body of the tumor. Just like how a volcano erupts and causes a big explosion to push out the heat that collects inside it. This is what my initial surgery was like, to remove the cancer that was building up inside me...

I love, love, love a tidy and clean house! Do I like cleaning, not so much.

I have come up with a list of 20 (plus 3 bonus) ways to make cleaning your home easier,...
Healthy Kids From the Inside Out Regimen!
This morning I went to give Xander his vitamins and accidently gave him one of my Alfalfa Complex pills. The look of disgust on his face was priceless. In all honesty I totally understood why. He was expecting a yummy, sweet, citrus, orange flavored Vitamin C. But, instead he got alfalfa. I felt bad, but couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction...
