Do you like to have easy grab and go breakfast choices? As much as I love to cook, I don’t want to cook first thing in the morning so these healthy bars are the perfect make ahead solution. Not only are they tasty (which is always a priority) but they are filled with antioxidants, oatmeal, nuts, seeds and fruit…

Rip’s Big Bowl Breakfast/My New Bike
Breakfast has always been the most difficult meal of the day for me – I struggle with what to have that will be filling and nutritious but not take a lot of time make. When I read about the Engine 2 food plan and Rip’s Big Bowl for breakfast I knew it was going to…
Better Veggie Burgers From “Eat For Health”
I’ve been experimenting with new recipes and as a result we have been enjoying some amazing meals! These veggie burgers should easily fit into a number of food plans, they are full of flavor and so filling. This recipe makes 16 burgers so you can freeze some ahead. They heat up easily in the microwave…
Butternut Squash & Bean Chili / A Preview Of My New Food Plan
We are at the tail end of the Winter Squash season but if you can find a butternut squash you need to make this soup. I was in Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods the other day and both still have butternut squash in stock. My daughter Katy made this recipe first and she said I needed…
Vegetarian Chili Burgers
I have enjoyed some delicious tasting vegetarian bean burgers over the years. The best one is still etched in my memory bank and was found at Munchies – a little basement restaurant in the mountain town of Ashland, Oregon.

Black Bean Dip & Green Chili Hummus
If you enjoy healthy Mexican – Southwest cuisine I have two recipes you will want to make. What a bonus that they are easy – using ordinary pantry ingredients and are pretty low calorie so you can easily fit them into your food plan. Beans which are the basis for both recipes are so healthy, filling and taste…
Vegetarian Black Bean & Soy Chorizo Chili / WWPP 6
All winter long we eat a variety of soups, stews and chili so I’m always up for trying new recipes to add to our regular rotation of favorites. This recipe is going at the top of my list! The flavor the first day was good but each day after it just got better and better. It’s not a spicy…
Roasted Chestnuts!
Years ago my mom and I traveled to England together for a girls vacation and while there among other things, we discovered roasted chestnuts. These delicious little gems sold by street vendors were roasted right there on the street and served up in little paper cones. They were hot, slightly sweet and nutty. Unlike anything I had…
