Light Honey Garlic Shrimp with a Kick

January 21, 2015 by Melissa

Making your own marinades has many benefits. For one, they are cheaper, and they are also a lot healthier. This way, you don’t have all that added salt or sugar; you’re able to monitor and tweak it to fit your health requirements or specific taste buds. I’ve been on a pretty big shrimp kick lately, it makes me miss the summers grilling out by the pool…

Homemade Buffalo Chicken Dip

It’s almost time for the Super Bowl! Woooo! Even though I don’t care for either team, and my (poor, awful) Redskins didn’t make it in, I’m still excited for it.

Healthy Snacking Throughout Your Day- the tasty way!

(I, of course, know this is not good for you- but it’s hard to leave when you have so much to get done!) I think that I’ve begun to snack more simply to keep my energy peaked throughout the day. To keep my…

Operation: Drink More (jazzed up) Water!

January 14, 2015 by Melissa

An operation has commenced- one that I think you all should join me with- I need to drink more water! I actually love water; I simply forget to drink as much as I should throughout the day. Regular water can also get pretty boring, and since I typically only drink either unsweetened tea, black coffee, or water, I wanted to add some variety to keep me…

Chicken Noodle Soup- Making Comfort Food Light

January 13, 2015 by Melissa

So something very unexpected happened to me a few weeks ago- I got pretty sick. One of those sicknesses where I didn’t have a voice for two weeks and went through many bottles of NyQuil. I am very used to getting sick during the winter; something about the constant changing of weather from it being in the 50’s on Monday and by Wednesday it’s 9 degrees…
