Tasty AND Healthy - SUGAR FREE Choco-PB-Banana Pie recipe

Recently I had a person living near me ask for a Sugar free pie, preferably one that has chocolate, peanut butter and bananas as primary ingredients. Hmmm... that's a tall order since commercial peanut butters often have sugars added in. So I put on my Bing search hat, and got to work.

I hit pay-dirt on a blog that inspired me and I bookmarked it. See the original recipe here (to be fair to the lady who came up with it first!)

E-Book Review: Tugboat: My Voyage Out of Obesity

Full disclosure: I received a copy of this e-book with the expectation that a review would be done and posted to a fitness blog. It has taken me quite some time to finish reading the book for a couple of reasons: 1) We've been moving to a new house, and that has taken quite a bit of my time away from the screen, 2) on top of moving, home schooling is back. in. session. - which means any time I spend on my screen seems to equal open season for the kids to slack off (!), and 3) I am discovering that I really do prefer bound books, the paper-and-ink sort of books, that I can hold in my hands to the digital variety, so I read more slowly on the digital sort.

The Reason: Tugboat: My Voyage Out of Obesity, is an e-book that I discovered through a home schooling group that I am part of. She was looking for people to review the book and spread the word, I am always on the look out for media regarding the struggle people have with being obese, and how they kicked the extra weight to the curb in a safe manner.

Healthy (-er) Enchilada Recipe

This one has corn, tomatoes, veggie chicken, GREEN sauce, and is topped with cilantro

My mother used to make huge trays of cheese enchiladas - half with meat, half without - and I loved them. To this day, enchiladas are one of my absolute favorite dishes to dig into. But until earlier this year, I wouldn't make them at home, primarily because I couldn't figure out how to roll the corn tortillas without them cracking. Thanks to Slick's hubby, I now know that you have to heat them on a griddle first. Then I started thinking about it and while those cheese enchiladas are totally tasty, they are not quite as healthy as I would like. For a family with six kids, they're inexpensive, easy and tasty enough that they'll be eaten without fuss. But here are the requirements I was trying to meet with this meal (in no particular order):

• gluten free
• dairy free
