I always set goals at the beginning of the year, and even though I don’t expect to meet them immediately (remember those small steps I wrote about in my newsletter?), some have come to a screeching halt. For example, my goal to run a half marathon. While I haven’t given up on it, last week […]
Is the question really ‘why’ it happened?
Every year I am surprised at how quickly the end of the year shows up! Time does fly, no matter if you are having fun or not. This year was a mix for us. We were very busy – and, had numerous great adventures. I would not trade them for the world. And, my husband […]
It’s getting cold and salads don’t appeal to me right now. Soup! That’s what I need. But, most canned soups are full of additives, sugar and wheat.

This recipe comes from George Stella’s newest cookbook Quick and Easy Low-Carb Cookbook. George and his family have an interesting story. George is a chef – and at his heaviest weighed close to 470 pounds. His family also loved food (with his then 15 year old son checking in at 305 pounds). Because of his weight […]
