Welcome!

Hi and thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Tina, I am 42 years old and married to a wonderful man named Robert. I live in the Cleveland, Ohio area with my husband and our two pugs, Koko and Lucy and a special kitty, named Trixie.

I am of Italian decent and love to cook not just for my family but for everyone! I have a lot of weeknight dinner guest and try to keep it casual but delicious! My Mom passed away a few years ago and was my great teacher.

In 2012 I have changed the way I eat. A real lifestyle change to be healthier, eat a nutrient dense diet and remove all processed foods, refined flours and sugars from our diet. I do cook a lot healthier than my Mom did and do a lot more vegetarian meals, poultry and fish. I'm trying to find a way to keep the traditions of family, friends and good food in my house always.

I plan to post my weekly menus, update with new recipes, health information and articles and how to eat mostly organic in an economical way. I will also periodically post personal updates of my journey to regain health and hope.

Carribean Night Not So Hot!


So Robert and I do not go out to eat a lot and we rarely go to chain restaurants but tonight we decided to try Bahama Breeze http://www.bahamabreeze.com/. It was okay, nothing special. Not bad for a chain but also missing something. I had the Tortilla soup which was excellent and included chunks of chicken, tomato, potato and avacado. For an entree I had the Grilled Chicken Kabobs. Robert had Conch Chowder and Jerk Chicken dinner with mashed sweet potatoes. I probably wouldn't go there again soon but I would try it again someday. The place had a nice atmosphere but for a $60 meal (we also each had one cocktail) I would have rather gone to a family owned place in Little Italy or PF Changs for a chain.

I guess I would give Bahama Breeze a B-
