Hello all!
 
I'd like to start my blog off with a ligher post, a recipe.
 
Eventually we're going to delve into more serious content but for now I'd like to introduce you to a recipe that will replace your craving for mexican! (those tortillas and cheese aren't helping your journey towards health!)
