Welcome to my little hobby!! I love to eat and I am passionate about making sure that the foods I eat and the foods I feed my cute little family are healthy. I have so many wonderful recipes that I have found through the computer or some of my favorite cook books, so I thought it would be fun to share them with my wonderful friends and family. I am going to be posting a new recipe every day, some will be gluten free, sugar free, or just healthy:) I believe that it can be fun to eat healthy and can taste great as well. Now every weekend I will be throwing in some of my favorite treats and goodies recipes because I believe that everyone should be able to have a cheat day, and lets face it, life without some of our favorite treats is just not that fun. So enjoy these recipes, and hopefully they will make eating healthy fun again, and PLEASE enjoy your weekend goodies too:) Also please leave me comments on what you thought about the recipe after making it, and if there are other things you would like me to post about. I can also try to redo any recipes that may be your favorites and make them a healthier version. Enjoy

Orange Quinoa Sweet Potato Salad

Sorry I missed a few posts:) Although I am sure everyone was a- okay without the recipes i am posting:) I saw this recipe on tone it up and thought it looked amazing!!!! I have not tried it yet so if it is nastola don't blame me:) But it is super healthy so I hope it tastes scrumptious. By the way quinoa is the mother of proteins, it is one of the best proteins you can have and I actually love the flavor of it as well:) If you can incorporate quinoa into your diet every day you will notice a huge difference in how you feel, and the best part, you can buy quinoa in bulk at winco:)



  1. Cook 1 cup of quinoa in 1.5 cups of water and .5 cup of fresh squeezed orange juice. In the meantime peel and steam 2 small potatoes. Once steamed cut them into chunks. Once both items are done put them together in a bowl and let cool. Then add a drizzle of olive oil, juice of one fresh lemon, 2 small oranges cut into chunks, 1 red and yellow pepper cut into chunks. 1/2 a cucumber cut into chunks. Then combine everything together.

I hope you enjoy it, I am going to be trying this one out tomorrow:) have a great night
