Mini Pavlovas
Have you ever heard of a Pavlova before? If not, you are missing out. This is a crispy, airy, light, delicious dessert! Apparently it is a traditional Australian dessert named after Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. Basically, it is a crispy meringue topped with whipped cream and fruit. I made it for a gathering that I had at my house and it was a huge hit. I have made a large single Pavlova before, but this time I decided to make individual Mini Pavlovas and it was much easier to eat and less messy! I hope you all will enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Fresh Papaya
Hi Everyone! Since I started doing Weight Watchers I have been eating a lot more fruits and vegetables, mostly because they are zero points. They are also a healthy and delicious snack! I normally take a couple pieces of fruit or some cut up veggies with me to work every day to snack on, and this helps to keep me from being tempted by cookies or other unhealthy snacks that may be readily available at work. When I go shopping, especially at Wegmans, there are TONS of different types of fresh produce to look at. I often try to look for one new type of fruit or vegetable that I…

Open a Pomegranate
Since pomegranates are still in season it is a really great time to enjoy them! This time of year most grocery stores carry them and they are easy to find. I suspect that a lot of people don’t know how to open pomegranates and eat them easily, so they either avoid them because they are inconvenient to eat, or pay top dollar for arils (the pomegranate seeds) that are already removed. I don’t know about you guys, but I used to be one of these people!! Then I found a pamphlet at a grocery store that explained how to open a pomegranate. I tried it out myself and now, I…
