The holidays are just around the corner, which for us means we'll be entertaining. A lot! And I like to be known as the hostess with the best food and drinks.

Halloween Spider Cupcakes
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love decorating the house and making special treats. Today I decided to try my hand at making these super cute spider cupcakes. They didn't look too challenging. At least on the package. I saw the Wilton kit while I was at the store picking up decorations and I thought it was so adorable!

However, it's extremely easy to make and is absolutely delicious when paired with Ling Ling Chinese-Style Vegetable Fried Rice. I was able to pick ...
Enjoy Salsa Without the Extras
One of my favorite things about summer is all the fresh salsa! But did you know salsa can be full of salt and extra calories that you are not even aware you are consuming?

But if there are lots of extras like olives you can end up consuming a lot of extra calories without even knowing it. But I have a solution! I have a healthy salsa that won't kill your calorie intake but will up your vegetable intake! To ...
Green Chili Turkey Burgers
While I'm on my weight loss journey I'm looking for ways to enjoy my favorite foods but without all the empty or excess calories.

They encourage you to take this time to learn about portion control, about those little changes in what you put on or in your food that have large calorie impacts and how to navigate ...
