Wife Amanda, husband Clinton.My wife Amanda gets different recipes from all over and then converts them to a more heart healthy/reduced fat/healthier version of different meals.Now my wife most of the time comes up with some very interesting, VERY tasty and much healthier versions of things.We were looking for an app to store all of the different meals she makes and the different versions so she can make it some other time and have the results be the same.That is how and why we came to this app. We, mostly me, will go through some of the wonderful recipes on here and she will attempt to healthify (yes I made that word up) it and we will have a wonderful dinner.Us personally, we are in the process of attempting to change our lifestyle to be better examples for our two young children and for me to be around some day to give my daughters hand away in marriage.We have been working on it since March 2013 and have gone down a LARGE amount, we are extremely proud of each other, and our families are of course behind us.Therefore, if you have any healthy and tasty recipes please feel free to send them our way.

Leftovers leftovers leftovers. I made smothered chicken last night. My recipe is on Cookpad. I used all my rice last night but I did have half a bag of egg noodles. Dug in the freezers and found frozen partial bags of peas and corn lol par for the course with me. Since not everyone will have the leftover smothered chicken I’ll write this the way I would do it the easy way.

This stew is very healthy with its vegetables and no fat, making it suitable for people who can't consume fat or are on a diet. It's delicious, very easy, and quick to make.

Is there any cuter fall vegetable than an acorn squash? Of course there isn’t, which just adds to the reasons why we love this acorn squash stew. The other reasons are coriander, cumin, paprika and cinnamon for the sweet yet slightly spicy flavor they give this cozy fall dish. Learn more at www. PeachDish.com
