Where Have I Been?

Hello Healthy Apron-ers!

So sorry for the hiatus away from the blog and not being able to finish my one month makeover!!  Life is not really getting  in the way…my wrists are! Could be wrist tendonitis or mild carpal tunnel; we don’t know for sure, but the break away from the computer this week has REALLY helped! Hoping to start updating again this weekend and in the following weeks, with help from the hubs (now that his last CPA exam was taken)! In the meantime, thanks so much for the patience!

Why does the one thing I love to do have to bring these ailments?

I do love all my loyal readers though! Hopefully you will keep checking around the site!

Welcome are suggestions for new posts, recipes, etc. I would also love to hear questions and comments! Thanks to those of you keeping in touch!

LOVE YOU ALL! Updates SOON!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted strictly to provide a recipe. I sincerely apologize but summer is absolutely crazy busy so cooking new recipes kind of goes out the window. We’ve mainly been sticking to our favorite staples: Lighened Up Fettuccine Alfredo, Paella, Veggie Burgers, Pancakes, etc.

Well. Today is the day I’m bringing a recipe [...]
