  • Whole 30: My Why

    Yesterday I began the Whole30 program. Why? Over the past few years I have had some food issues that I have been neglecting to deal with and I know that certain foods negatively impact my health in noticeable ways .

  • Smothered Chicken with “Rice”

    Last night’s dinner was inspired by this recipe from Just A Pinch.  Before finding that recipe, I acquired a homemade batch of cream of mushroom soup from a local market and wanted to somehow incorporate chicken.
