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!

Soba Lo Mein

Is everyone ready for all the snow they say we are going to get tomorrow?  I hope this is the last of it. I’m ready for Spring! Flowers, bike riding, and walks in the park! Tonight I decided to use the Soba noodles I bought back when I couldn’t eat gluten. Soba noodles are made with 100% buckwheat flour and are gluten free. I’ve never tried them but I thought they would taste more like whole wheat noodles which I love. I decided to use my Chicken Lo Mein recipe without the chicken and with Soba instead of whole wheat. They didn’t taste quite like whole wheat noodles. They had the same texture but a really odd after taste. I think I stick to whole wheat from now on. You can make this Lo Mein with whatever noodles you prefer. The peanut sauce mixed with the soy sauce is so good!! I used the following ingredients.   I started out by sautéing some onions and a garlic clove in 2 tablespoons of toasted Asian sesame dressing. While you are cooking your noodles add in the ve...

I love Almond Butter

Hello again! It’s been a busy day for me today but it’s been a good food day. ;) The blender worked out a little better for me this morning. I guess it just needed a little using before I got used to it. I started today with an Energy Smoothie. It was really good. It was my first time trying the spice Cardamom. Energy Smoothie ½ C Almond Butter 1 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom 1 ½ C water 1 C Frozen Peaches 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Agave ½ C Ice I cut this recipe in half. The Cardamom was pretty noticeable. It’s hard to describe but it was a little like cinnamon. I loved the Almond butter. I tried a new brand this time. It was very creaming right out of the refrigerator. I drank most of the smoothie on my way to work. I was pretty hungry when I woke up this morning.  Lacey enjoyed the Mango Smoothe today. Isn't she cute! I had a cup of hot green tea about 8:30. It hit the spot! The smoothie held me over till about 11. When lunch time came around I was hungry. I had to take a quick lunch...

Chili For a Chilly Day

Burrrr it’s cold tonight! It seems like I was cold all day until I had a warm bowl of chili. Nothing can warm you up better! We had more snow today! I can’t believe all this snow that we’ve been getting. I love how pretty it is but I don’t like how everything just shuts down. I went to the grocery store this afternoon and it was a nightmare. I got all the things I needed and stood in line for about 10 min until realized that the hamburger meat I had in my buggy had a big tear in it. I had to go get another one and get in the back of the line. I just read about all the magazines they had standing in line. Did you know that Charlie Sheen is in rehab?And Justin Beiber is taking over the world?  This is not any kind of special recipe. It's the chili recipe I grew up on. It starts with a chili seasoning packet and its never the same every time I make it. Start by browning your meat. Try to get very lean meat so you don’t’ have to drain it. Chop and dice a 1/2 of an onion and  s...
