RECIPE: Healthy Grain Dish that tastes like Mac & Cheese!

Mac N’ Cheese (MnCh) used to be my comfort foods of choice.  But over the years, I’ve been disappointed by most of the  Mac N’ cheeses I’ve ordered (except for my cousin, Kacki’s recipe, of course!)

Give me chocolate and peanut butter over a gum drop any day of the week. Raspberry sorbet could never battle chocolate-chip cookie dough ice cream with Butterfinger topping. Adorable dentist friend and … Continue reading RANT: Sugar is Crack

FAVORITE SNACK ALERT: SWEET POTATO DISCS For warm and Salty Snack, or even lunch Preheat oven to 375º Slice sweet potatoes (from your local farmers market, of course) into discs and put on thin baking pan or pizza pan.
