Great Foods to Eat Together
August 17th, 2012 
Most social events are centered around food and many of us stress over what should we eat or serve. Cooking should be fun and nutritious. I would like to help make eating an enjoyable and healthy experience for the entire family on a budget. Sometimes small changes can lead to big rewards. I hope to pass on diet tips, nutrition information made easy to understand, quick and easy recipes, and a postive attitude. Life is a journey, enjoy it!
