Restaurant Style Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

So last year I told yall I was going to do something about my weight, and I did I signed up for Weight Watchers new SmartPoints program and I’m happy to say that I’m doing great! I won’t reveal my weight loss just yet because I’m afraid I might jinx myself, but let’s just say this new Smart Points program is a lot easier to stick with than the old Point Plus.

Smokey Chipotle Vegetarian Skillet Meal

Smokey Chipotle Vegetarian Skillet Meal

Skillet meals are something we call can get excited about. There’s something about the food being cooked in a skillet makes it feel like it’s going to taste that much better.

So, of course when I ventured out on my own I had to have my own set of cast iron skillets that admittedly I haven’t used that much. Hopefully, this recipe I created with the help of the people at Nasoya will redeem me a little bit. You don’t often hear…

Create your own Monster Burger with MorningStar Farms Grillers!

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #GrillWithATwist #CollectiveBias No matter the weather, I love the mouth watering taste of food fresh off the grill.  There nothing like that smoked taste to satisfy one’s palette. I consider myself to be an equal-opportunity griller. This means veggies get just as much love on my grill as a honking slab of ribs do. Since I’ve been watching what I eat I’ve been grilling a lot more veggies lately and to add some variety to my usual food choices I’ve been throwing a…
