As much as I love all the great things that nature and gardening can bring to my life – relaxation, meditation and good old stress relief that comes from jamming a shovel in the dirt, there’s nothing that irritates me more than finding my gardens have become a “beast’s” buffet! Twenty years ago ... Read More about My Garden is Not Your Buffet! Say Goodbye to Garden Eaters
Easy & Inexpensive Black Bean Burgers
I have a confession to make…I’m not a big lover of beef. While I love a really good steak now and then, beef is not something I gravitate to when I’m planning a meal. What I do love, however, is a really flavorful burger…and not just any burger, but I’ve come to love a really great black bean ... Read More about Easy & Inexpensive Black Bean Burgers
Eating Healthy: Fast Breakfast Rollups
In my journey to eating, and being healthier, I've learned that breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. Key, for me, is to eat high protein early in the day. Not only does it help me feel full longer, but it seems to help me lose weight. Pure conjecture, nothing scientific with ... Read More about Eating Healthy: Fast Breakfast Rollups
Eating Healthy: Lemony Beets
There was a time I hated beets...I mean a REALLY hated beets! I think it was because my mom usually bought them canned and heated them up. YUCK!

Eating Healthy: Simple Mediterranean Salad
I'm a sucker for a great salad, especially in summer. There's something about eating "cool" when the weather heats up.

Eating Healthy: Chili Lime Shrimp
So, this tasty little treat was a mashup of a couple of my favorite flavors - shrimp, chili, and lime. How easy is that?! While I love shrimp, it's sometimes rather bland...unless, of course you're doing a scampi! In the interest of eating healthier, scampi just doesn't make the list. I started ...

Eating Healthy: What’s in My Pantry
I often hear people lament about their weight-loss challenges…I’m right along with them. But then, I step back and look at how I’m setting myself up to succeed or fail and frankly…self-sabotage, thy name is Barbara. The reality is, if there’s junk in my pantry….I’m the one who put it there. I ... Read More about Eating Healthy: What’s in My Pantry
Shell of a Good Salad
I love salad, especially when I’m indulging (or over-indulging) in delicious foods. I somehow feel obligated to balance all the calorie-laden delights with something just a bit healthy, even if I’m the only one eating it! That must be from growing up with an original Weight Watchers mom. So, how ... Read More about Shell of a Good Salad
No Fuss Potato Rounds
Is it just me or does it seem like potato skins are a common appetizer item in most restaurants, or at least in “bar food” restaurants. I love them, but they’re a bit tedious to make at home. I mean, you actually have to try to keep the skins intact while scooping out the potato? Come on…who’s got ... Read More about No Fuss Potato Rounds
