My fiancé Kevin and I got to attend the opening day of Disney’s California Adventure Food and Wine Festival 2022 and it was so amazing.  We got to try so many different foods and drinks and spent the day just having fun. For me, being someone who struggles with my relationship with food, going to food festivals, is hard.  For so long I struggled with a binge and restrict mentality, where I either completely restrict food or I eat everything in sight.  Finding that middle ground has been hard for me but it is definitely something I am really working on overcoming.  Since Kevin and I

slow cooker Lasagna

Slow Cooker Ground Turkey Lasagna Recipe

Pasta is one of my favorite foods. And while I do love a good zucchini noodle, nothing quite beats regular pasta.  Let’s make a Slow Cooker Ground Turkey Lasagna. Changing the relationship I have with food has been a game-changer for me. I used to avoid regular pasta at all costs, or “allow” myself a super small portion which not only left me unsatisfied but still hungry.  Also, adding cheese, forget about it. I would never allow myself pasta AND cheese!  Not anymore! Those times are gone. Eating lasagna again, feeling in control, and still keeping my weight loss goals in mind is the most amazing feeling.  This recipe actually has real pasta, real cheese and is super filling and satisfying.  It is also super quick to make!  You can half this recipe, or make the full thing!  Lasagna makes great leftovers, or you can even put some in the freezer and have a quick meal ready whenever you don’t feel like cooking.  Plus- what makes this even easier is you do not even need to cook the noodles ahead of time!  You put everything into the slow cooker and it does all the work for you!  So

But reality is, I do not have a lot that
