Lentil Sloppy Joes
Mary gave me a sample of this recipe last week (she found it on www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com) and I thought it was great! And she said that Joey (her 11 year-old son) son approved as well so it’s also kid-tested! Lentils have 18 grams of protein per cup and 16 grams of fiber. Lentils are also rich [...]

The Snacking Trap
Many people think that snacking is getting in the way of their weight loss goals. Although, snacks can be healthy, like fruit and nuts.
