There’s something sensual about the combination of rum and butter and sugar. Continue reading »

Chickpea and Spinach Stew from Lemony Thyme

The holidays have a way of throwing us me off course.  No matter how hard I try, temptation is waiting at every turn.  This year is going to be different.  Yes, I will cave to some temptations, or better said…enjoy my favorite dishes in moderation.  Yet, what I won’t do is completely abandon my Healthy Choices plan only to start over on January 1st.  Nope, not gonna do it.

This Chickpea & Spinach Stew, adapted from Weight Watchers, is going to keep me on track.  Continue reading »
