I don't know exactly how to begin my blog except to suggest it is "time for a change". What kind of change? I see and hear so many women talking about their weight, their busy lifestyle, their cooking habits...women from all stages of life - raising small children, children about grown, single women and older women living alone. It seems that in every stage of life there are obstacles to good health. Time is a factor for most. Not wanting to cook for only one person. Not knowing how to cook a healthy meal with carbs, proteins, veggies, and even fat! My goal with this blog is to try and find a way to make life a little easier for women....no matter their circumstances or stage of life they are in. I am not a doctor, dietician, or expert by any stretch. I am just a daughter, mother, wife, sister, grandmother, and friend who has a deep concern for the future of myself and all those around me. I would like to see us all live a healthier life so we can enjoy it as long as possible. I will take an adventure in playing with recipes, reading labels, studying food guides, and experimenting on my family and friends to come up with way to make life a little more simple....come join me in my adventure, will you?

I would love to hear about things that have worked for you, recipes you have enjoyed in the process, and/or other suggestions which I and those who read my blog can learn from. Please email your thoughts to sbarton34@gmail.com . Please give permission in your email to allow me to post your information you share with me and whether you want your name included in that post. If you don't want me to share your name, etc. - please state so, and I won't.

I am looking forward to working on this project - it is VERY important to me! Here's to this "time for a change" for all those interested in taking the ride!
