I've dropped the ball, but am bouncing it again!

Yes, I know, you all were sitting on the edge of your seats, anticipating all my healthy way of life posts, not to mention great recipes that are good for you! I let you down! You have to know that it wasn't my intention to do so, it just happened that way. You know, everyone has good intentions at times! heehee

Anyway, I'm back, and I'm going to share a great WW recipe with you. My friend, Heidi, gave it to me, and it's quite yummy. You don't even know it's WW! Enjoy!

1/2 cup FF blue cheese salad dressing (I used lowfat)
1/4 cup FF Mayo (I use lowfat)
3 TBSP Buffalo Chicken Sauce ( I use a little bit more of course)

The Start of Something New..

Thought I'd start a blog for recipes, and just food in general. For a while, I was really into trying out new dishes, and had such fun doing so! I kind of fell off the bandwagon, so to speak, and have been making dinners out of frozen meals. Sure, all the lean cuisines help Steve and I jump start our diets back up, but there's only so much of them you can take. They become boring, very quickly. My hope is to try out some new dishes, and share them with you, here. I'm not a chef, for sure, but I can make my way around the kitchen. I enjoy learning new things.

I'm a big Food Network fan. So much, that I've even got my girls into it! Hannah really enjoys the show, "UnWrapped", and "Ace of Cakes". My favorites are Paula Deen and Rachael Ray.

Keep your eyes peeled here, for some good eats!
