I live by a simple motto: hot sauce goes on anything.  For me, this applies to both recipes for food and the recipe for life.

When my husband proposed – I was 50 pounds heavier, and needed to get my life in order.

With a lot of hard work, and the help of some Frank’s Hot Sauce…

… I can happily say that things finally are in order.

I went from being an extremely unhealthy girl in her early twenties, to a health conscious lady in her late twenties.

Leading a healthy, BALANCED lifestyle is something I’ve gotten the hang of, and plan on continuing the rest of my life.

I’ve been a Cleveland West Sider my whole life and I love where I’m from.

I like running, I love dogs and wine, and I am passionate about trying new things, from food to vacations to anything else I can think of.

Over the course of these past three years of blogging – Green Dog Wine has evolved from a daily food journal, to more of a personal journal – showing how I balance life and weight loss, while still having a LOT of fun along the way.

It might seem like new things would be hard to come by living in the town you grew up in, but with a little creativity and a dash of hot sauce – you can always spice things up.

Hope you enjoy the ride!
