Hello lovelies! Once the new year began, I knew it was time to make some changes, not resolutions, but something more important, something more longer lasting ... a lifestyle change. I have become determined to maintain a healthier lifestyle... one filled with eating right and exercise. I do have a gym membership and go a few nights a week with my sister, so lately I have become more focused on what I've been eating. I'm sharing what I've been cooking up over the last week and all recipes are healthy and low-cal! Oh, and even weight watchers friendly! You will notice that I've also been baking! You won't see me giving that up anytime soon ... I love it too much! But I only bake for someone's birthday, a special occasion, or when I know I can pass the treats on to others! If I do taste test, it's one cookie or small one piece ... all in moderation!
Here are some of things that I've made over the past week ...
{I've also almost met my goal of trying 5 new recipes each month!}

The broccoli mac and cheese sounds good. I may have to try it. :)
I've also been trying to eat healthier, but I don't like most of the healthy food! Like veggies, I despise veggies! Good luck with this friend!
Oh my goodness! That all looks delish!
I tagged you in a post:

Umm...I think all this yummy food just made me hungrier! haha I have tried those spinach lasagna rolls, and they are so delicious.
I really want a cake pop maker...do you like it??
My goodness, these all look sooooo good!
Um hai. Now I'm hungry. VERY HUNGRY. Corn casserole should have it's very own food group. I LOVE IT!!!! And my sister makes that cheesecake all the time. It is a HUGE hit!!! But it takes a whole stick of butter to make!!!!
I am all about working out and recently was told that maintaining a healthy/losing weight is 80% diet and only 20% working out- YUCK! Anyways, I had to pin a couple of these- I have never tried quinoa! Thanks for sharing.
