Hi Reader! The recipe cooking challenge this month is my Italian Chopped Salad! My simple Italian Chopped Salad is such a great start to the New Year!

If you're new to the Feel Good Foodie Cooking Challenge, each month we make the recipe together, and I just ask that you leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ star rating and a comment on the website...

Hi Reader! Even during my 31 days of healthy’ish recipes, dessert still has a place around here. I just lean toward the ones that feel a little lighter and don’t leave me second guessing after. These are the desserts I make when I want something sweet at the end of the day, or when the kids ask for dessert and I want it to stay simple. Lower sugar, real ingredients, and still actually enjoyable. Nothing fussy, nothing trying too hard, just desserts that fit into real life. Featured Recipes...
