I say goodbye to fad diets, bogus "fat-burning" pills, and processed, non-food food.

I look forward to your comments and thoughts as the posts healthify on by!

Strangely I have never even thought to add avocado in my soup! It’s a great idea, and this soup sounds fantastic. I went through a HUGE avocado phase in 2009 and I think I’m going to have to bring it back, they are so good, in everything!
Have a nice weekend. Happy Valentine’s day!
Ohhh my goodness, that avocado soup looks divine!!
I love roses more than chocolate
Can I pick flowers?
Happy V-day, hunnie! <3
