Let me start by saying that apparently, pizza still counts as a vegetable. Not kidding. “Millions of schoolchildren in the United States will see more fruit and vegetables and less fat on their lunch plates under new U.S. Department of Agriculture standards unveiled Wednesday aimed at improving child nutrition and reducing childhood obesity”, begins a […]

Nice, for a change!I saw the headline and prepared for what would likely be another “woe-is-me, I have ‘fat genes’ and there’s nothing I can do” diatribe.Not so much!Rather, the author shares that despite being overweight as a child, the message, […]

Well, not that guilty, since he ate two the night before. OK, that’s another topic! I created a pan sauce, even […]
Read More ›Smoothies have got to be one of the most popular go-to for meals on the fly. It’s ridiculously easy to whip up a concoction of any combination of ingredients, and it does not, by any means, need to be syrupy sweet. I’ve gotten in the habit of throwing at least 1/2 a bunch of kale […]
