That’s right: Arby’s has a hot Grand Turkey Club on their menu now. And it’s good. And I mean good. I tried Arby’s Grand Turkey Club last week – how could I not, when it looks so appetizing? You know who some menu items don’t look anything like they do in the commercials or on the…
Nevella To Go – Sweetness Without The Guilt #Sweetnesstogo
I love Sweet Tea – and yes, I am capitalizing that because it is that important to me – but I haven’t had a real sweet tea in ages. Why? Because in an effort to improve my health, I began eliminating excess sugar from my diet last year. You see, Diabetes runs in my family…

Start Simple, Start Right with Kellogg’s Breakfast Cereals!
As much as I would love to say that I cook Angeline breakfast every morning, I have found that it’s just not possible! As a mom to a high schooler, I find healthy shortcuts where I can – because having to leave the house by 6:50 doesn’t leave a lot of room for cooking! When…

Get the Girls Together for a Girl’s Night In!
I invited my mom and the girls over for dinner last night for a little girl talk, a little party planning and a little catch-up time. Even though my family is really close and we all live in the same neighborhood, it can be difficult to get us all under the same roof at the…
Taking the Mac & Cheese Taste Test Challenge #BackToNatureMac
As I am becoming more aware of the unhealthy foods out there (hello, GMOs!), I have been paying extra attention to what I am buying at the grocery stores.
