It’s Pad Thai …. kind of.  I have recently enjoyed eating pad thai as long as it is not too spicy or really no spice at all.  Someone asked for the recipe of the dish you see in the picture.  The problem is I just took a recipe and then only used a certain ingredients to make the sauce and the rest I just through in.  So I will do my best to tell you how to get the dish in the picture.  Then i will give you the recipe I took the sauce idea from.  So what do I call this delicious dish?  Continue reading →

Hi Everyone!

Here it is!  My new blog location.  I love using WordPress.com to hold my blog.  Maybe eventually I will be able to self host, but for now this will do.  My previous blog location will be deleted eventually.  Thankfully all my posts transferred over easily with pictures too.  Only video didn’t transfer, but that is ok because I didn’t have much video content.  I think I have that taken care of now!

Be sure to subscribe by email so that you never miss out on an of my new posts.  I write about my journey of trying to life a healthy lifestyle which mostly includes eating healthy, exercise, recipes turned healthy, and some of my fun food creations and soon I will be sharing some of my art too!

It should be easier for you to comment now, so make sure you leave a line or two!  I love to hear from you too.  Let’s get some conversation going on here.

Thank you for reading my blog!

If you blog, do you self host or use something like WordPress or Blogger?  If you don’t blog, have you thought about starting a blog?

I have been turned off of Protein Thursdays.  I’ve only done one since I’ve started the phase for life.  On Protein Thursdays I am suppose to eat protein rich foods.  Some of these foods include lean meats, fat free yogurt, fat free cheese, cottage cheese (I don’t eat this so I’m not sure if it needs to be fat free or not), the galette (a special pancake), 3 tbsp of oat bran (can be put in the galette), eggs, and lots and lots of water.  That is not so bad, I did it for four days and throughout the first three phases.  So what’s the problem?  There are a couple at hand.

As some of you know I am cleaning houses for a part time job while I’m in school.  At some houses we get little treats or tips, but my favourite house so far was a man who gave us recipes.  He even gave us some seeds to help us out with the recipe.  Not everyone has cumin and coriander seeds kicking around.

I decided to add this soup to my Dukan Diet Series because you can have it in all phases depending on how you serve it.  In this post I will explain how dish it up in a variety of ways and of course give you the recipe! Continue reading →

That had to hurt!
