UPDATED FEBRUARY 1 2018 Just because you are healthy and determined to keep your weight in check, doesn't mean you can't have a Super Bowl party! I  personally love this event and...I don't even understand football (HAHA I am so French!!). It's such a fun gathering and keeping it nutritious really is so easy!

Brrrr....winter has started, and continuing where I left off last week on "uncomplicating" your menu, soups come to mind! Soups can satisfy so many aspects of what makes good food so good and simple, and when made right, they illustrate beautifully what Cuisinicity is all about. So this week, I invite you to include soups in your menu. The beautiful thing about soups is ... Read More »

UPDATED JANUARY 2nd, 2019 It's been a year since I last updated this post and I am happy to report that I indeed shed those extra 10 lbs, just as I had hoped I would and kept them off all year, no problem. It wasn't hard because there was no deprivation involved, no strict diet to go on (and therefore inevitably off!), nope, it was just my  good old cuisinicity way of ... Read More »
