HAPPY NEW YEAR, friends!

I hope you all had a very fun and safe New Years Eve and enjoyed the time surrounded by lovely friends and family. I would like to take this opportunely to wish you a year full of love, happiness, success, and of course, lots of healthy food on your table.

Last week, we had a great time with my in-laws in Montreal for Christmas and later with my aunt, uncle, and cousins in Boston area. We had a really good time there, especially because they hadn’t met our baby Thomas yet. It was so good to see him playing and laughing all day long with his relatives. Thomas is such an easygoing baby. He goes to everybody’s arms easily without crying and he smiles all the time. He’s also such a good traveler. He didn’t have any problem with the local food, weather and or anything else even traveling a lot to so many countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Canada and USA in his first year of his life. He is such a blessing in our lives and I have to say he is the best thing that happened in our lives and in 2016.

MY OTHER RECIPES

I love this time of the year because I always feel full of energy and excitement to follow my dreams. It’s good to feel like you have new challenges, and another chance to set new resolutions for the year. My resolutions for this year related to my health is to reduce the amount of sugar from my diet and make healthier choices when we go out for dinner. We always eat very well home, but eating healthy outside it’s still a struggle for me. So, I hope this year I’ll be better with that.
