You may remember a little while back when I was on my jaunt through Europe, I stayed at an amazing place in Italy called Fattoria Poggio Alloro. It is a working farm with guest accommodations, also termed now as Agritourism! This place was absolutely magical, and although my hubby and I only spent

Skinny Chicken Waldorf Salad
This is a dish that I very commonly put into my clients weight loss meal plans. Yes. You read that right. THIS dish, clients, weight loss, meal plans. Even though it looks like a rich, creamy, might-go-straight-to-my-hips, kind of dish. It’s not! Not only is this recipe absolutely delicious, it’s low cal, high protein, and

Quinoa Mac & Cheese
I have to admit, I am not impressed with my pictures for this recipe. They do not do it justice, and it makes me sad. I am really still so new in photography and learning how to work with my camera and lighting and composition and staging. I put a lot of effort into my

Butternut Squash Coconut Curry
I bought a couple butternut squash a while back before Justin and I went on our trip. I was planning to make a roasted maple butternut squash soup kind of thing but I never got around to doing it because life was crazy hectic before we left! So when we got home from our trip,

Roasted Lime & Black Pepper Chickpeas

Justin and I were lucky enough to find a hotel in Westminster,

A Taste of Austria & Light Apple Strudel
The hillllls are aliiiiiveeee….with the sound of muuuu… OK. Sorry. I had to. I’m pretty sure I sang that song, in an opera-like voice about 10 times during our little jaunt in Austria. But honestly, the hills were alive, I mean look at that picture above, just beautiful! I seriously wanted to put on

A Taste Of Amsterdam & Lemony Chicken with “Bruine Bonen Salade”
Wow! Amsterdam. What an amazing city! It’s hard to even describe Amsterdam, but one word to sum it up would have to be diverse. There’s a completely different feel in every area of the city, and each area is only a short bike ride away from the other. We had such a great time
