While I do not claim to have created the recipes you will find here...I do lay claim to having prepared them all. As a society we have lost our way when it comes to healthy eating and preparing our own meals. We rely heavily on fast food chains and pre-made boxed meals as the means to feed ourselves. I urge you to take the time to do a little meal planning every week, and prepare simple and healthy meals for your family every day. It may take a little time...but you're worth it.
