My Friend Lost Weight, and Now Her Pain Is Gone
I've had many conversations with people that start out like this; "Gina, you'd be proud of me, I lost weight and now my knee pain is gone!". In the past, I would congratulate the person, giving them the accolades I know they were hoping for. In the past I was a...
Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup (Kid Approved!)
If a slow cooker recipe involves multiple steps, it's not my favorite. If a slow cooker recipe involves some chopping, I'm ok with it. I love slow cooker recipes for several reasons, and one of which is the "all in one pot" aspect. If you give me a slow cooker...
Instant Pot Butter Chicken

Are You Nourished?
Just about fifteen years ago, I was not nourished. I thought I was, but I wasn't. I would eat all day, and foods that were "healthy", plus some that were more "play foods", such as ice cream, cake, etc., but I still wasn't nourished. I was still very meticulously...
A New Favorite Instant Pot Dinner
After working for eight hours (whether at home or away from home) everyone dreams of a simple meal idea that involves few dishes, and lots of "mmmm's"! Am I right? Last night I made this Instant Pot Taco Soup, which truthfully I wasn't overly excited about, and...
