What can I say? I'm a Starbucks fanatic.
I have had a serious relationship with the Skinny Cinnamon Dulce Latte for nearly as long as I can remember. It's a lot more rare that I actually get anything to eat from there, and when I do... I always try to stick to things that are not in that lovely 'baked goods' display case perched so blissfully next to the cashier.
No, no. I dive downward into the cooler section and avoid eye contact with those pastries as if they were Medusa herself...
Read MoreThis is the perfect soup to serve up for your next game day spread. Plus, it's so easy to customize!
Want to make it more kid friendly?
Swap the beer for more broth and leave out the jalapeño!
Looking for something with more of a kick?

This soup is based on my Healthifed Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup, which has been a favorite among my family for a few years now.
The idea for this soup originally sprang into my mind in the midst of the 'Hatch Green Chile' festival that takes place sometime in mid-August. I wanted a 'white' version of the soup that consisted of more of a clear broth base, green chilies, and chicken...

For about a year now, I've been working really hard to have at least one, and usually more like two, vegetarian dishes for dinner every week. We definitely don't eat red meat more than once in seven days and clean eating is something Im striving towards...
Read MoreThese baked Butternut Squash Faux Fries are an amazing alternative to their potato brethren. They taste just as amazing as sweet potato fries, and are remarkably similar, but come in way less on their calorie count!
