Healthy Lifestyles

During my endeavor to live more affordably, I encountered a nifty website called Calorie Count. It's not JUST about counting calories so don't close out my blog just yet :> Check out their blog as well as their site! You can get great healthy recipes even your children will love. Recently, I found two for the holidays. I think the kids will love the cranberry pancakes and I found a potluck meatball recipe which will be cheap and tasty for entertaining! Anything with the Crockpot is a big hit because it's easy, saves me time, and is much cheaper to run than my oven!

You can even subscribe to a variety of free newsletters if you want them forwarded to your inbox daily, weekly, or monthly.

Another side benefit for those of you wishing to loose weight is they offer a support group online. I have been successful at loosing weight over the past year and have enjoyed using this feature. It's cheaper than weight watchers and doesn't cost me a dime! You can even meet "Friends" who share similar struggles in your healthy lifestyle and a new friend is always welcome.
