Eating Healthier

I hope you all had a great Father's Day!  In the morning Levi helped Derek open up his presents.  One of his favorites was Dad's Root Beer which has been a tradition since he became a dad.  Then we headed to Provo to listen to my cousin talk in church.  She will be leaving soon on a mission to Brazil.  I am so happy for her!  My family was there too so I was able to spend some time with my dad. Then later we headed to see Derek's dad.  We are happy to be so close to both our dads.

I was excited to see my cousin Sarah at our family gathering in Provo.  It's been a long time since we've seen each other since she lives far away.  She told me how much she loves my blog. I love to hear that!  She says she especially loves when I post healthy recipes and would love to see more of that.  The best thing is just last week I have determined to eat healthier and am trying to make healthier dinners.  I don't want to entirely give up sweets because I love it. (chocolate!)  So instead if I bake I will make healthier versions of baked goods.


I would also love if you have any healthy recipes or healthier versions of recipes you have tried and love to please e-mail it to me.  I can't promise to try them all and post them but I will try and do what I can.  I am a busy mom on a tight budget but I am always looking for something new and healthy to try.  Please e-mail me at lovetobeinthekitchen@gmail.com 

I also started a new label on the right song of my blog under, "healthified." These will be recipes that are healthier versions of more fattening foods such as my baked taquitos.


Also here are a list of websites offering plenty of yummy healthy recipes:
