The struggle of cooking is real. It is just not cooking, it is the writing of the grocery list, driving to the store, shopping with a mask on, buying your groceries, prepping, chopping, and then cooking. You spend maybe 30-minutes eating, then you have to clean up. I’m exhausted just thinking about it.
Tips For Keeping Produce Fresh Until Your Next Trip to the Grocery Store There is nothing worse than stocking up during your weekly trip to the grocery store, farmers market, or CSA delivery and then in a few days, it turns into a wilted soggy mess. Storing produce properly keeps your vegetables and fruits fresher, longer. If you are tired of your produce going bad before your next shopping trip, here are some tips to extend the freshness and life of your produce and help you limit food waste. I know that you know that fresh veggies are a great source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber and are an important part of a balanced healthy diet. But what about frozen veggies?
Some of us are having to live with fewer funds these days. When operating with a tight budget, food shopping is a struggle and we don’t always make the best choices. You can eat well and healthy on a budget. A little preplanning can go a long way. Here are my tips on getting good and healthy food on a budget.

Would you spend more time in your kitchen if looked better? Maybe? 😊 Kitchen remodels can be very expensive and overwhelming. I’m going to share some very budget friendly ideas that I did that can help you with your kitchen makeover.
I’m over hearing about the latest diet or which one is better. We get sucked into the easy claim that “you can lose 7 pounds in 7 days”. The reality is, there is no perfect diet, no better diet or best diet. It just doesn’t exist.
Everyone is different. You are biochemically unique. We are different genders and ages, with different body types, and different lifestyles. Have different interests, health goals, and activity levels. So, to think that there is one “perfect” diet that will work for everyone is crazy. The perfect diet for you is the one that you enjoy, makes you feel your best, and that you can maintain long-term. OMG!! I love this meal! Why? It’s yummy. It’s easy. It’s got veggies baked in. It makes great leftovers and it freezes well. So, it’s great for now or later. It is also perfect for anyone with food allergies to wheat or eggs. The recipe omits the eggs and replaces bread crumbs with high-protein quinoa. Don't worry it's got loads of veggies baked inside so it will not be dry. I promise.
Spaghetti squash is a wonderful winter veggie that has a neutral flavor and will soak up any sauce or seasoning you serve it with, so it works well in many recipes. It’s a tasty and healthy substitution for regular pasta. Can be paired with Italian meat sauce, meatballs, garlic or Parmesan. You can also use it in casseroles or a substitute for hash browns.
