Good Morning!

Just thought that I would share my newest recipe with you all. It is so good - low in calories - great in taste!

Shrimp and Asparagus Frittata

4 Eggs
10 Spears of Asparagus (steamed and cut diagonally)
6 Shrimp (cooked and cut into small bit sizes)
1/3 Cup of Swiss Cheese (shredded)

Mix eggs well, add all other ingredients. Pour into a hot greased skillet, cook on stove for a couple of minutes, don't stir; then put into hot oven. Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 -15 minutes, or until eggs are set! Enjoy!

Hummm..... this will go well with the Tomato Basil Soup and a Green Salad for a wonderful lunch to share at YOUR table.

Tomato Basil Soup




Creamy Tomato Soup, 1 container (4 cups)

Organic Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce, 1 container (3 cups ea.)

Mix together, heat and serve.

Serves 6


This is soooo good! Everyone wanted the "recipe".


Breakfast "Muffins"


6 Eggs
1 Cup Egg Whites
1 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/2 Cup Baby Bellas
1/2 Cup Green Peppers
1/2 Cup Chopped Onion
1/2 Cup Diced Ham

Mix all ingredients together. Pour into regular size muffin cups that have been sprayed with oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. Each one is about 100 Calories and so tasty! The best part is that you can put whatever you like into these "muffins". Spinach, Feta Cheese, Bacon, Swiss, Sausage, Mushrooms... I have even done some with "Buffalo Chicken" and Gorgonzola. Hope you will try these using your own taste buds!

Serves 6 (Two per person)

Hi there!

It has been a while since I have been here........... sorry! While I was away I have taught Vacation Bible School for TWO weeks along with Sunday School every week, I have had my husband in the hospital for kidney stones (he is home recovering), I have lost 24 pounds since July 4th --- yeah for me! I am trying to go to the gym at least 3-4 times a week and walk somewhere, last night we walked down town, it was a lovely evening and we happened upon some wonderful Christian music on the college green. I hosted a Tea Party honoring Lindsey, from Iowa on Monday, August 15th........ it was lovely! I will be sharing some of the recipes from that Tea Party!

Tonight, I made:

An Angus Beef Roast sliced and put into gravy, served with Brown Rice and steamed Carrots with olive oil butter, tomatoes and cucumbers. It was so good! It is a "Live It" dinner! :O) I have been sharing my table with my son Jeremy, my daughter-in-love Kristen, and my two sweet Grandchildren! This has been such a good week of them visiting. I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring but for sure it will be full of JOY!


THIS IS DIET FOOD?????????

I cleaned my plate!


As this month, July, came in, I decided to start something new! A live it! NOT a diet! A change of how I cook, eat, and live! With it came a lot of information, a LOAD of information! *Still processing it.* I do see somethings that absolutely have to change first. The way I am thinking about what I eat or don't eat is one of those things. When I was a little girl I was told to "clean my plate", as an obedient child, I did what I was told to do. I CLEANED MY PLATE! Now though, I really don't HAVE to clean my plate, but the thinking and the attitude are still there. (I am working on it.)

So, since I have someone keeping me accountable, I have decided to revamp some of my favorite recipes and still eat what I like but more importantly what is good for me. Tonight's dinner was Stuffed Bell Peppers. I used the basic "old" recipe but put better things in it. For example, for the white rice that I usually use, I put Quinoa & Whole Grain Brown Rice, for the ground beef I used Laura's Beef (organically raised), organic mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Topped off with a fresh made Salsa. Thanks Kristen! This was really very good! Better than the original recipe! For a whole pepper stuffed the calories were only 350! Now that is good eating!
