This blog started off as my outlet to share healthy vegan recipes. Soon that became healthy vegetarian recipes; later, semi-healthy recipes sometimes containing meat. Now here I am posting recipes for pot roast, chocolate lava cakes, Italian sausage meatballs, and other butter-heavy meals. I cant say everything I make is the healthiest, but I can say it's homemade and probably healthier than anything you'll find in a restaurant or fast food place ^_^
