Who am I?

Who Is Ramona and why does she like to eat healthy


 HI! Thanks for visiting. My name is Ramona and I'm a Health Educator. I currently work for Humana and have a team of health coaches who provide coaching around weight management, nutrition, stress management and more.
I'm married to my wonderful husband of 5 years. I love cooking food and sharing it with others. I love to eat healthy but still love my Mexican food. I can't live without tacos, cheese dip and margaritas. I love my family and friends. I enjoy doing things outdoors like camping, riding my bike and running. I love helping people realize that healthy eating can be tasty and fun.


I haven’t always loved eating healthy. It wasn’t till college that I started learning about nutrition. In college I ate whatever I wanted and whenever I wanted. It mostly consisted of ramen noodles and mac and cheese. Once I got into my last 2 years of college I was able to lose the weight I put on and get back to my healthy weight. I loved learning about how the body works and what your body needs. It’s a challenge every day for me to eat right. But I know that if I’m eating right I’m feeling good.
I started this blog as a challenge for myself blogging every meal every day. I love the blogging world and I love reading other food blogs.  I like to eat and support local foods whenever I can.
Thanks for visiting! Don't forget, keep it fun and healthy!

Day 1–Have a Headache Already

Happy New Year to everyone! Day 1 of the detox started today. It’s been pretty tough,I’m not gonna lie. I went to Whole Foods and Walmart yesterday to get all the fruits and vegetables I needed for the week. I’ve had a headache all day due to the lack of caffeine. I really don’t drink but maybe a cup and a half of coffee and a glass of tea a day. But I sure did miss it today. This morning I got up to help in the nursery at church. I made the Antioxidant smoothie. You can find the recipe here . It was really good, a little tart but not bad. When I got to the church I got a cup of unsweetened green tea (no caffeine) so I could convince myself it was a cup of coffee. The tea and smoothie held me over till about 11:30. I made a nice little salad for lunch with water with of couple apples thrown in. My salad had spinach, avocado, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and pumpkin seeds dressed with balsamic vinaigrette I did get pretty hungry this afternoon so I made the roasted chi...

Vanilla Bean Almond Butter

I don’t know about you but I LOVE nut butters. I have never made my own because I didn’t realize out easy it was. I’m telling ya, everyone can make nut butter as long as you have a decent food processor and there's not turning back. I’ve had some left over vanilla beans from the vanilla I made a while back and wanted to use them, so I decided to use them in the almond butter. I made this about a week ago and it’s already half gone! It’s like a yummy creamy dessert. Once you try fresh pure nut butters you will never go back to store bought. Only 3 ingredients and no added oils! So here it goes: Start out by toasting your almonds until they start to smell yummy. Pour your almonds in the food processer and start to process. You will need to process for 8 to 10 minutes and stop several times to scrape down the sides, so be patient. Stage 1 Stage 2- Powder Stage 3-The natural oil starts to come out and its starts to ball up. Stage 4-Almost there, just a f...

2011 AR Cornbread Festival

Saturday was the 2011 Arkansas Cornbread Festival in Little Rock. I entered the competition thinking it would be a fun activity to participate in; I had no idea how big of a festival it was going to be. The number of attendents kept increasing which made me more nervous as the competition neared.  The last count I had heard was 1000 people and  I thought, how am I’m going to fix enough cornbread for that many people?  I knew that they would only be getting a 2 oz sample cup but still, that's a lot of people. I spent Friday afternoon and evening baking cornbread. They suggested that we make 4 13x9 in square inch pans worth of cornbread, I ended up shooting for 5 just to be safe.  My cornbread was called Citrus Corny Cornbread. It originated from my mom’s corny cornbread recipe that I grew up on but I put a little twist on it by adding orange juice, orange zest, and cream cheese. After 3 trips to Walmart and o...
