Do these ingredients look like something a “choosy” mom would choose for her family!? Ingredients: MADE FROM ROASTED PEANUTS AND SUGAR. CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: MOLASSES, FULLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS (RAPESEED AND SOYBEAN), MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, SALT. I think a better slogan would be Mom’s who don’t read labels choose Jif! Sugar? Hydrogenated oils? [...]

154.4 pounds – Weight Maintenance Mode
Well, I’m officially in “Maintenance” mode. I suppose I’ve been in maintenance for a few days, actually a few weeks, but my body has officially let me know that I am done losing weight, and I am at a healthy weight (154-155lbs) that I can maintain long term. So, I changed my goals at MyFitnessPal: [...]
Weekend Hunger Pains
Driving north for the first RV/camping trip of the season, I’m feeling vulnerable. Feeling like I could fall backward into my old ways of eating eating eating. I don’t want to gain but there’s a part of me that’s feeling like who cares? Just eat. Reward yourself, you’re on vacation! My confidence appears to be [...]
Eat This and Live – Book Review
“Imagine yourself standing at a crossroads. In the middle is a road sign with two arrows pointing in opposite directions. If you follow one arrow, you can eat this and die. But if you follow the other, you can eat this and live….” Finally got my copy of the book “Eat This And Live” by [...]
Recipe: Mexican Bowl with Brown Rice, Chicken, Beef, Peppers, Onions, Tomato Salsa, and Cheese

Chipotle Mexican Grill for Dinner
Oh yummy, I have been dying to try the Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurant ever since I saw them on the Food Inc DVD. Fresh, delicious “food with integrity” – it all sounded very exciting. DH went to a Chipotle for lunch with his boss, and brought home a menu. He raved about the food, and [...]
The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps – Book Review
When I first heard about the book, The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps: 100 Easy Changes to Start Living a Healthier Lifestyle, I assumed from the title, that it was mainly about food swaps. Use olive oil instead of butter, or instead of eating a fatty donut, try whole wheat toast. Similar to the “Eat This, [...]
Of Course Pizza Can Be Healthy
Even though I consider myself a healthy clean eater, we all need comforting cheat foods. For example, I like pizza. So, instead of getting a take out thick crust pizza from a nearby restaurant, I make pizza at home. I can satisfy my pizza craving once in awhile, and still try to stay within my [...]
Good Health Natural Naked Popcorn
I love popcorn, but don’t snack on it very often anymore because of the extra carbs. But I still regularly look at popcorn bags at the grocery store trying to find a low calorie snack. Most times, the calories are just too high. I mean 6-8 servings per bag!? I am afraid that we’d be [...]
Is Eating Healthy More Expensive?
I just calculated my spending amounts for food, comparing the total for dining out and groceries from month’s past to what I am spending now eating healthier. Surprisingly, the totals were fairly equal. On average, I would spend about $700 to $800 per month for both groceries and dining out. It’s still the same now, [...]
