I recently wrote about I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (ICBINB) and how healthy it is compared to regular butter and oils. Since then, I have cooked many meals with ICBINB and I love it. My family and I are hooked! It's taste delicious, it's creamy and it's low in fat. My favorite quick and easy recipe is to spread ICBINB onto warm toast and dash a little cinnamon on top with a cup of coffee and a piece of fruit like an apple or a pear. The combination pairs wonderfully for a fast and easy … [Read more...]
Special K Resolution Challenge: I Stepped on a Scale in Times Square!
January 9, 2011 by 10 Comments
Yes, I did. For once this wasn't your typical scale with numbers that tell you your weight -- instead it was a scale that showed each individual inspirational words or phrases. Now if it were a "real" scale with numbers, then that would be a whole other story but it wasn't so bad stepping on a scale in front of people in Times Square. It was quite liberating to be honest. The Special K Team was there to launch their "What will you gain when you lose" campaign to help women get inspired … [Read more...]

December 27, 2010 by Leave a Comment
This past November I was given the opportunity to makeover my fridge with the help of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. They helped me by providing some useful tools and some very needed information on how to deep clean my fridge and how to store foods. I chose to really deep clean my fridge right before Thanksgiving because my menu was full of delicious meals that would definitely leave leftovers for the weekend so I needed all the room that I can get. With 3 kids, a husband and … [Read more...]
