	Think it's too expensive to eat healthy? Think again! by Jen H. I live on a very tight budget. After all the bills are paid I have enough money to put gas in my car and to buy food and maybe a night out with friends. The most important thing for me is to make food a priority. Of course over the years I've fallen into the trap of buying cheap food when times are really tough. Mac & cheese is less…	1 vote 664 views
	So what am I eating now? by Jen H. I'm still making the transition to a cleaner diet and have had a few slips here and there, for example Enjoy Life Foods sent me some cookies to review so of course I have to eat them! For the most part though, the transition is going smoothly and I'm feeling great. I've even lost a few pounds, but I'm keeping the number a secret since…	1 vote 542 views
	Ready, Set, GO! by Jen H. I have been researching the Paleo Diet all weekend. In typical Jen fashion, I started out guns blazing, ready to go. Then I went through the "do I really want to do this?" phase. And now here I am, Paleo Beef Stew on the stove, getting prepped for this new adventure. Now, before you start typing up your comments about how something in…	1 vote 1473 views
	Here we go again... by Jen H. I was looking for this picture in my Flickr feed and when I found it, I realized I had titled it New Year's Resolutions. This was from December 2008, not last New Year but the year before. So I went back to that post to see what I wrote and see how I've done:I will get back into the shape I was in a year and a half ago, healthy and…	1 vote 636 views
	Dairy Free Hot Cocoa by Jen H. Hot cocoa is one of those things that I've always loved but it has certainly never loved me back. The last time I had some, it was Swiss Miss with a little Bailey's and Dr. McGillicuddy's. Tasted amazing. Felt horrible. Recently I saw a recipe for dairy free hot cocoa somewhere and it's been stuck in my head since. Tonight I was…	1 vote 730 views
	Gluten Free Steamed Chicken or Pork Dumplings by Jen H. One of my favorite takeout dishes used to be steamed Chinese pork dumplings. I have seen this recipe re-created on a few gluten free blogs and I have been dying to make them myself. I knew it would be time consuming and challenging so I kept putting it off. Due to the blizzard I had a "snow day" from work. I work in the medical field…	1 vote 842 views
	White Potatoes - Why I love them, and so should you. by Jen H. I think it was back in the days of the Atkins craze when white potatoes first got such a bad reputation. Poor little guys! Someone decided that because white potatoes are made of carbs and carbs turn to sugar in the blood and, well, they're white, they must be bad! They somehow became equated with white bread. A vegetable from the…	1 vote 518 views
	Sugar Overload by Jen H. This weekend was the first half of Christmas celebrations with the family. My task was to make meatballs and a dessert for my family's Christmas Party on Saturday. I have made meatballs before and they were awesome, but this time I strayed from Carol Fenster and found a random recipe online. I had to triple the recipe and I'm terrible…	1 vote 583 views
	Ok Pinterest, You Win by Jen H. It's been five months since Bill and I moved in together. Living with a guy after eight years of the single life has been an adjustment, but a lot of fun, especially since we have our fur baby to keep us company.One of the biggest adjustments has been the one to my ass. It's huge. I'm not kidding. I've put on no less than (and…	1 vote 856 views
	Creamy Spinach & Avocado Pasta by Jen H. A while ago Marlow posted this recipe for Creamy Spinach & Avocado Pasta over at Gluten Hates Me and I immediately pinned it to my Dinner Ideas board and have been meaning to make it for dinner ever since. I finally had the chance tonight with all of the ingredients on hand. I also kicked it up by adding chicken which I had marinated…	1 vote 573 views
