On days when I’m craving some comfort food, you can find me in my kitchen making nachos or this mouth-watering snack - vegetarian chili cheese fries.

But because I’m unable to eat food products that contain gluten, pizza night usually consists of me making my own mini pizzas at home rather than hanging out at the local pizzeria. What’s great about making your own pizzas is that you can add all of your favorite toppings and decide how healthy/unhealthy you want your pizza to be. [...]

Oh nachos, why do you have to be so delicious? I really do love a good plate of nachos - especially when they come loaded with all the good stuff like cheese, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and jalapeños.

That meant lots of Doritos, Hostess cakes, and Twinkies in place of his normal meals, plus a daily protein shake and a few vegetables. He did, however, only consume 1,800 calories a day, compared to 2,600 of healthy foods like he usually did. [...]

I’m in the midst of a snacking revelation. Instead of eating Ben & Jerry’s ice cream straight from the container, I’ve been putting it in a bowl. Total game changer. I know that you’re probably thinking, “Big deal, Fit. Most people eat out of bowls!” But when it comes to snacks, a lot of people do eat straight from the container. [...]

I eat well all week long, so once the weekend hits, that’s when I tend to let go a little. Whether it be decadent brunches, lunches at quaint cafes, or dinners out, I try to choose foods that are tasty, but not too calorie- and fat-laden. Let’s see if you can choose the healthier food. [...]

My hubby has an even bigger sweet tooth than I do, and last Saturday he couldn’t resist coming home with a decadent maple cheesecake he bought at a new bakery. We each had a few delicious bites after lunch, but he just couldn’t stay away (little did I know, he was sneaking into the kitchen and chowing down). [...]
