Nutrition Done Right with Purina® Pro Plan® and Apple Peanut Butter Treats!

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #ProPlanPet #CollectiveBias The overall health and nutrition of my pups has become very important to me. Several family members who hadn’t seen my dogs for a while would often comment about how much of a “big girl” our oldest dog Jada was. As a mom, you tend to not  notice weight gain in your children er, pups right off, and so I would just shrug it off as Jada being a bit husky. Jada loves treats and comes running whenever she hears a bag…

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Brussel Sprouts get a bad name. Since I’d never tried Brussel Sprouts I always thought that they were these disgusting alien looking vegetables that parents would force their kids to eat. At least that’s how they were portrayed on TV shows. Growing up we never ate Brussel Sprouts.

I love sweet and sour candy and so I figured I could an amazing cocktail version,…

Celebrate Chinese New Year with Dan Dan Noodles!

Celebrate Chinese New Year with Dan Dan Noodles!

I’ll never forget the first time I tasted Dan Dan Noodles at a local Asian eatery called Han Dynasty here in Philadelphia. “Souped up Ramen Noodles”, that’s probably the best way to describe them and that’s literally how all my friends who visit describe it after having them for the first time. There are so many different recipes for Dan Dan Noodles that you just have to find one that has the flavors and ingredients you love. I’m used to a basic Dan Dan Noodle as every time I’ve had it it’s been served as an appetizer and not the main meal.…

Strawberry Coconut Greek Whip Cake.

Strawberry Coconut Greek Whip Cake.

Many thanks to Yoplait for sponsoring today’s story and encouraging me to try Yoplait Greek 100! Whips. Since starting Weight watchers I been on this huge greek yogurt kick. I have it for breakfast almost every morning and now I can even replace it for Sour Cream without my husband complaining or noticing. Since my husband travels a lot through the week I always try to make him something tasty over the weekends. Lately, I’ve been really strict on sweets and so when I saw that Yoplait had a new yogurt called Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! I came up with…
