Growing up I thought beauty was defined by only one thing:  What my eyes saw. I thought beauty was beautiful hair, a thin body, and a flawless face.

One of my favorite things to use in the kitchen nowadays is quinoa! It's healthy, lite, and can be used in more ways than I think I'm aware of yet. For me, I love rice and pasta. And it was always a bummer to think I couldn't eat them every day without feeling the weight of it. But, thank the LAWD for quinoa because I am loving how amazing I feel after eating it and how it tricks my pal ...

Super Bowl Sunday, anyone? It took a ton in me to not post one of those indulgent, creamy spinach dips that are an oh-so favorite of mine and usually a favorite for football games... I think?

There are a lot of times in the morning where I really would love to make myself a bowl of oatmeal, but don't have the energy or time to do it.
