Childhood obesity continues to be a major topic in today’s society. I myself try to ensure I’m mindful and explain health and wellness to my daughter even though she is only 2! She understands and can identify different foods, especially fruits and veggies. She has had everything from kale to cod fish. It’s all too…

15 minute meals
So I was watching Food Network and saw one of the shows talking about 15 minute meals that are quick, easy, and fun for you and your family. I made these last night!! We enjoy pizza in this house but not as much since it’s costly, loaded with calories, and with all the grease just…
Spaghetti Squash
My vegetarian journey has been exciting. I’m constantly trying new foods and experimenting with different recipes and ideas. One of my coworkers came to the office with her lunch from home. I saw what look like a cantaloupe topped with fresh Mozzarella, spinach, and pasta sauce. I asked and she said spaghetti squash. I actually…
Vegetable Noodle Soup & Grilled Cheese
Winter weather is here so hot & hearty meals are a must. After a long weekend and being a busy body once I got back in town I needed something quick, easy, and loaded with veggies. I made vegetable noodle soup with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil…
Lime Love
Sooo my picture should say it all… Good lime, bad lime. I just bought one and found one still in my fridge. I use limes on an almost daily basis… Lime juice is a common ingredient in many of my veggie dishes that are Spanish, Mexican, Caribbean inspired. They are literally powerhouses when we want…
Roasted Salmon
I wanted salmon but didn’t want it the same ol way so I chopped up sweet peppers, onions, garlic cloves, and mixed with honey, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, and other spices. I put in oven and broiled it for 6 minutes. Wah-lah! I’m going to pair with whole grain thin spaghetti and Alfredo sauce.
Pomegranate Push
So for the last two weeks I have been replacing 1 meal a day with a green smoothie. I have found that starting my day off with smoothies is best. The loaded fruits and kale/spinach really give me a healthier boost than coffee. I have been throwing everything into my living well blender. I really…

It’s something about Indian blends and Caribbean flavors that gets my mouth watering. Here is a healthy snack option when munchies come knocking at your door. These chips come in…
Stuffed Eggplant | La Dolce Vita
Eggplant was something introduced to me as a child by my mother. My mother’s roots are Italian so growing up a lot of our dinner dishes were Italian inspired. One recipe I loved and didn’t think I would was Eggplant Parmigiana. It hasn’t been hard living the Pescatarian lifestyle because my mother has always eaten…
Kale, Mushroom, & Feta Cheese Omelette
The best part of my transition to removing meat from my diet and only indulging in seafood or vegetarian dishes is that I could have a only a couple of veggies in stock and still whip up a great dish! Today for brunch I made an omelette using kale, mushrooms, and feta cheese. I decided…
Quinoa & Brown Rice Stuffed Peppers
Here’s a great recipe that’s soft on the eyes with the bright sweet pepper colors and great to taste with the rice, beans, and quinoa stuffed inside. I make these as entrees for a quick dinner that’s healthy and fulling. This time of year I think these are perfect for adding colors to your dish….
