It’s a sweet fruity taste of the tropics that will transport you to a virtual paradise. This drink was invented in San Juan, Puerto Rico in the 1950’s. And the first sip of a Pina Colada takes you to its birthplace! It conjures up images of palm trees, white sand beaches, pristine ocean water, and a blue sky studded with puffy white clouds....

We all know it’s not polite to stare at people eating, but have you ever stolen a glance? Truthfully, it’s hard not to notice the way a person eats when they’re sitting next to or across from you.

Baked Healthy Jalapeno Poppers
This recipe for Baked Healthy Jalapeno Poppers features the spicy kick from jalapenos mellowed with cream cheese and two kinds of cheddar. Not only is it low carb and keto friendly, but it’s easy to make with no deep frying needed! When I was younger, I had very little tolerance for spicy hot foods. I’d order deep-fried jalapeno poppers with friends and could barely eat one without my mouth going on fire!...
Canned Chicken Salad Recipe
This Canned Chicken Salad Recipe is easy to make in less than 10 minutes! It’s creamy like tuna salad and seasoned simply with seasoned salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. This version is healthier than most and replaces most of the mayo with Greek yogurt! I remember my mom having her friends over for ladies’ luncheons when I was a kid. She’d make mint-flavored iced tea or lemonade to drink and fruit salad for dessert. She’d usually serve one of two things for lunch: a pretty arranged salad on a bed of greens along with a couple of sides (one of which was […]...

Monterey Chicken (Chili’s Copycat Recipe)
Monterey Chicken takes BBQ chicken to the next level by smothering it with Monterey Jack cheese, bacon, and a few fresh veggies. It’s a fun new twist on leftover chicken or a delicious way to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts! I don’t make it to Chili’s restaurant too often. So until recently, I had never heard of Chicken Monterey! I can’t remember how the topic came up, but my friend Lara (from LaraClevenger.com) told me about it and I thought it sounded pretty good. BBQ chicken is never a bad idea, right?!...
Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe (Paleo)
This paleo Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe has rich chocolaty flavor and great texture! It’s saved me when I just want a little something sweet that’s fast without eating junk food. Like I mentioned when I told you about my Chocolate Cupcakes for Two, I’m kind-of particular about my cake. (As Mike likes to tell me, I’m kind-of particular about a lot of food-related stuff, but that remains to be proven and is an entirely different discussion for another day.) Anyway. I don’t think there is anything more disappointing than seeing an absolutely stunning cake and then sinking your teeth into what you think will be […]...
