The Fat Smash Diet – Healthy Lifestyle

If you have been following my blog, you already know that I am very impressed with The Fat Smash Diet, and I love following all the phases at least once every year, with gratifying results.

Of course, before making this decision, you should consult with your Primary Care Physician to be assured that your medications and pre-existing conditions will allow you to make these lifestyle changes.

Some people feel it is too harsh (no coffee or alcohol for 9 days), but it works for me.

Chickpeas Vinaigrette – Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe

Chickpeas, also known as Garbanzo Beans, are very high in protein. Thus, they are an excellent food choice for vegetarians/vegans and all other healthy eaters.
Vinaigrette salads are much lower in calories and healthier to incorporate into our everyday eating habits, unlike those with mayonnaise. This chickpea vinaigrette salad has the perfect combination of ingredients and is so delicious.

It is effortless to assemble, and holds well refrigerated for several days.  It is perfect for any occasion, such as party food, a light lunch, or a healthful snack.

Creamy Crab Bisque – Seafood Recipe

Some of my family members enjoy seafood; however, my taste for those dishes is quite limited, which means I do not prepare them often.
My husband was looking for a tasty seafood bisque, so I looked up a few recipes and came up with a modified version he enjoyed, which I am sharing today.

Honey Sweetened Apple Orange Cranberry Sauce – Recipe

A Thanksgiving turkey meal would be incomplete, without some delicious homemade cranberry sauce.

If you always use the canned cranberry sauce, because you think that making your own is too difficult, think again.
