Friday is Whole Food’s one-day sale on ground grass fed beef! $4.99 per pound! Yay! I’m already planning on buying 2-3 pounds. My freezer will be very happy this autumn/winter! UPDATE 2011-09-21: I’m a little disappointed with the ground grass fed beef at Whole Foods. It’s supposed to be 90%, but it’s awfully greasy. I [...]

Dastardly Donut
Ugh, the dastardly donut got me today at lunch. I was visiting DH and we ate lunch together in his work lunchroom, and there was a box of Dunkin Donuts that another co-worker brought in that morning. Of course, DH had to open it, and there were just a few left, all jelly filled. I [...]
Whole Wheat Bread is Full of Sugar!
No wonder people on “diets” give up bread! Commercial whole wheat bread is loaded with refined sugar! I only baked two very small loaves of bread for our vacation, so I figured I’d pick up a loaf if needed at the local store while we were away. Stopping at a little local grocery/convenience store, I [...]
Pretzels
This is why I don’t buy pretzels and other non nutritious snacks. I can’t stop eating them! We’ve been on vacation this week, and we stopped for a snack after ATVing and against my better judgement, I was coerced into buying a 1 lb bag of pretzel sticks. Let me tell you these things are [...]
Whole Foods One Day Sale Organic Cantaloupes
Whole Foods Market is having a one day sale on Friday, August 19, for organic cantaloupes – 2 for $3 I wasn’t planning on shopping on Friday, but I think I might have to now.
No, Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Spread Is NOT a Health or Healthy Food!
Those TV commercials for Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Spread drive me crazy! They try to convey that it’s the greatest health food since brown rice! And that it’s such a good choice for your kids! Well it’s not! Here is the commercial I’ve been seeing over and over: Ingredients and Nutritional Data from the Nutella USA [...]
Tyson Anytizers – Processed Chicken Appetizers Are Not Healthy!
I keep seeing the commercials for Tyson Anytizers – so of course, I had to find out exactly what they’re about, knowing perfectly well, that it’s not going to be a healthy outcome. From their web site: Any time is right for Tyson Any’tizers®. They are the hot, substantial snacks that are always perfectly delicious. [...]
Potato Eggplant Pancakes Recipe – Meatless Monday
Yesterday, I made some fantastic yummy potato eggplant pancakes for dinner. I don’t always go meatless on Meatless Monday, but we do try to eat meatless one or two dinners per week. The main flavor in these pancakes was obviously potato, I purposely used less eggplant because DH isn’t a fan. I wanted to ease [...]
Skipping CSA Next Season
I think I’ll be skipping the CSA next season. We’ll see how it goes, buying directly from the farm and other farmer’s markets, and then I’ll decide if I want to go back the following season. There is absolutely nothing wrong with CSA, and I adore Farmer Dave’s and the staff, but I think I [...]
Vacation! ATV Padding, Sugar Overload, & Fun
I haven’t officially weighed-in after coming back from our week-long vacation to the Moosehead Lake area of Maine, but I’m confident I haven’t gained anything permanent. We had a really great time, the campground was on the ATV trail, so we could ride directly from the campground. Because of my weight loss, my back is [...]
