Fresh Fruits
There are some families that are desert families and some that are not. Mine was definitely a desert family. Growing up, we enjoyed the most sumptuous and extravagant sweets with our dinners. Whether we were going out or staying in, we would have cake, ice cream, truffles, tarts, or some other delicious treat at the end of the meal. Even if we were eating something basic like meatloaf or grilled chicken, dinner was not thought of as complete until we had something to counter the otherwise healthy meal. I would not say that we were hugely obese people, but we were definitely Click to Read More

Food Additives
Although there is a lot of controversy about food additives in certain circles, for the most part they are completely safe. Additives and Food Have Been Used For a Long Time Many of the most popular foods that you and me eat everyday contain at least a few of these ingredients. I had a friend who was really concerned about food additives a few years ago, and she panicked me a little bit about it. She really got me worrying. She told me that you never knew what a food additive would do to you. She believes that they weren’t sufficiently studied. When I looked into the matter, Click to Read More

Organic Products
Organic health food stores have been around for a long time, but the number of organic products has greatly increased in recent years. Organic food products have been around for well over a decade. Slowly but surely, people have been finding out that artificial fertilizers, pesticides, and other additives can have seriously compromising health effects. Nonetheless, other kinds of consumer awareness have been a little bit slow to come. Nowadays, there are organic beauty products, organic health care products, and even organic clothing. It is unfortunate that our world is run in such a way Click to Read More

Beef Jerky
Many people are dieting to lose weight. It seems that each time I go out to lunch with friends or family members, someone is on a weight loss program. I have tried my share of programs over the years to drop a few pounds here and there. A few years ago I needed to lose at least eight pounds to fit into a dress that I wanted to wear for a special occasion. I could get the dress zipped, but it was uncomfortable and it looked too tight. My husband wanted to lose a few pounds at the same time so we decided to go on the low carb diet, which was the craze at the time. We both started losing Click to Read More

Tuna Fish
Is there anyone out there that can make good tuna fish? I always thought my mom could, but as hard as I try, I can’t seem to get it right. I never eat it unless it is mixed with mayonnaise, which means that I don’t eat it very often any more. That is just too much in the calories department. However, I do like to have it once in a while, but I just can’t seem to make it right. I have even tried to get it in restaurants, and have always left disappointed. Tuna is very good though, especially for the dieter, if it is prepared the right way. Tuna fish had a bad rap for quiet Click to Read More

Vitamin Benefits
Everywhere I look, I see more and more vitamin benefits being touted by company after company. We all know we need vitamins, but we don’t think about getting them from our foods.
