🌯Healthy Remix #8: Crispy Philly Wrap

Sometimes dinner has other plans. We came home from work already knowing what we wanted. A hot Philly cheesesteak. I got everything ready to cook, reached for the Amoroso rolls… …and then realized there weren’t any. For about three seconds I thought, “Well…there goes dinner.” Then

🥗 Garden Ranch Bow Tie Salad

The Noodles Were Calling Me

I rarely follow the recipe because my taste buds completely ignore the directions. 😂 But this time… my eyes ignored the front of the package and went straight to the nutrition label. One packet = 1,400mg sodium. The chili sauce? That’s where most of it lives. So instead of automaticall
