Great Book

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a book that I have been reading and enjoy it immensely. It's called "Master Your Metabolism" by Jillian Michaels. It is a great, informative book about hormones, metabolism, metabolic disease,  things that are in our food, etc. I learned something new on every single page. There is also information concerning PCOS  as well. I definitely recommend it. I hope everyone checks it out and please let me know what you think when you finally crack it open.

Stay tuned!  XOXO

Recipe of the Week #2!

Hey again everyone! It is time again for another Recipe of the Week! This recipe is one of my absolute favorites. I have made this several times and also passed the recipe on to my mother who also enjoys it a lot and makes it regularly. Once again I will post the recipe as it came and then I will post any changes I made to the recipe.

The original recipe comes with a fruit salsa, I've never made that part of it, but feel free to give it a go!

I hope you enjoy, please leave comments for any types of food you would like to see next time!

The only difference that I made in this recipe is I didn't use the fruit salsa. I just use more regular salsa for a sauce. So yummy!
