I am obsessed with Swai White Fish Fillets

Mult. Brands have been individually wrapping and freezing these yummy fillets. This brand, Market Pantry, is another Target produce find. 100 calories a fillet. So good and doesn't taste "fishy".

Marinating them is Lemon pepper is my fav. Recipe.

Put your oven at 400 degrees for 13 min. That is all you need. Dinner. Served. 

Here's a lemon pepper recipe:

Annie's Cheesy Ravioli (canned) and a slight rant.

When I was a kid, I was OBSESSED with Chef Boyardee's Ravioli. As I got older I realized how fattening and a waste of calories it was...
Being on Weight Watchers quite strictly at the time, I vowed never to eat it again.

Is it wrong that I miss it though? lol

Then, the other day at Stop n' Shop, I found Annie's Cheesy Ravioli. Annie's has yet to let me down so I am going to give it a try. Although the nutrition facts are not too different from what you would see on the back of a Chef Boyardee label, I am trying this for nostalgic reasons and purely out of curiosity (because let's be honest, that sodium content is ridiculous).

So let me just be clear on something.

I feel like I am becoming one of those shoppers that buys something purely because it says "Organic" on the label. That just makes me look ignorant, I know, when
'organic' doesn't even necessarily mean it's better for you, or different, or healthier.
This canned ravioli by Annie's is a pure example of that.

They key to really eating healthy is to buy and eat your food fresh; nothing frozen, nothing canned.

In addition to that, cutting out dairy from your diet will make a huge impact. Switch to almond milk or other dairy substitutes and you will soon be on your way to cleaner living.
