My recipe blog has been woefully neglected since I started back @ JC. I'm not cooking much of anything besides veggies for myself, and I hadn't tried anything new in a while for K and M.
However now K is on his own weight loss journey/healthy lifestyle plan, and it's REALLY awesome. I'm his personal chef of course :) and I'm going to be sharing recipes I make for him. Most are really basic, and easy, but they are really healthy and good, so I figured I'll share them anyway!
