Making Delicious, Healthy Meals

This week, I came to the realization that a healthy mom/wife is a happy one. But, I also realized that it is my responsibility to make healthy meals for my daughter as well (and my husband!)  When I first started the health journey, I was making individual meals, and the rest of the people in the household were eating a different meal. The other day, it hit me -- if I want the best for my family, I should be making them healthy meals too! The problem was that all of the recipes I had found were for single meals. That was until I was introduced to skinnytaste!!

A friend of mine tagged me in a link to a recipe on the skinnytaste website, and when I checked it out, I found a PLETHORA of wonderful, healthy recipes that.... wait for it.... taste GREAT!

So, hats off to Gina for her brilliant meals that are healthy and full of flavor. I've tried 4 of them so far, and I have enjoyed them! (I wasn't crazy about the raw oats recipe, but I am planning on changing it up a little bit to fit my likes more). My entire family had seconds tonight when I made the Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken.

Choose Health

Welcome to my new blog, Choose Health!

As many of you know, I have tried many times in the past to get my health in the place that is should be. All of those times, however, I was more focused on losing the weight than I was making healthy choices every day. It finally clicked in my brain that if I focus on making good choices, I would be setting myself up to lose the weight that I was so desperate to lose.

And so, this blog was born. I am on a mission to not only make healthy choices, but to learn all that I can about how to make the BEST choices on the budget that God has blessed me with!

The goal of this blog is to share with the readers what I am learning. I want it to be used as a resource for healthy choices. And, as much as I want health to be about one specific thing, -- only working out, or only eating healthy -- I've learned that it is all-encompassing. So, you will be able to find ideas on here about exercise, healthy foods, and even different products that are supposed to help us in our 'health journey'.

Together, I want to learn all about what it really means to be healthy, and I want to encourage each other when it gets hard to make the right choices while we are surrounded by the wrong ones.
