Top 10 Reasons why YOU should cook your meal

Hi Folks!

As I began my fitness journey a few years ago. I signed up for all these websites and magazines. I figured I'd educate myself. As a self proclaimed nerd, I typically look at a book to teach me how to do something. I'm branching out to websites too.

This one came across my twitter today from womenfitness.net. Top 10 Reasons why YOU should cook your meal. Over the past few months I've been focused on cooking. Partly because I love it. Secondly because its healthier. I'm also trying to support a more healthy eating lifestyle to my sweet-tooth having boyfriend!

I'll try to post some recipes as I play around with some things. I'll share my turkey chilli recipe. It should keep you warm over the winter. I've added a bit of hot sauce and splenda to mine. (I like it slightly sweet and spicy) but you can leave those out. If you want to stretch it out. you can add a pasta... or rice.  you decide.

Enjoy!
