Isn’t it funny how we always think that crossing over to January 1st is going to magically change our lives? LOL. I don’t normally encourage New Years Resolutions, but this year, I’m a believer! During the last couple of months, my food/health habits have declined, and my weight has creeped up to 141ish. Take out [...]

Food Babe Investigates Chipotle vs Moes
Please read this article! http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2012/08/14/food-babe-investigates-chipotle-vs-moes/ We don’t have any Moe’s restaurants in our area, but we do occasionally dine at the local Chipotle restaurants. I’m really shocked by the “expose” from 100 Days of Real Food, although I suppose nothing should shock me about our commercial food system. Yea, I understood that Chipotle was fast [...]
McDonalds’ Chef Considers Menu to be Healthy
McDonald’s senior director of culinary innovation, “chef” Daniel Coudreaut, was recently interviewed by Lisa Abraham, a Beacon Journal food writer. Besides chef Coudreaut’s crazy statement that he “doesn’t see anything on the menu that’s unhealthy,” he was promoting the “healthy” items on McDonald’s menu. It made me giggle that he’s an actual “chef” – a [...]
Hamburger Helper Stuffed Bellies
Just saw a TV commercial for Hamburger Helper. The family is together, sitting at the dinner table and the dad is stuffed so he leans back and pats his belly, full to the brim. He looks at his young daughter, they smile at each other and she imitates him, patting her belly as well. Camera [...]
They wanted to hate on me for coming down with something – Paula Deen
Oh lordie, Paula Deen, just doesn’t get it! Late last week, she was quoted by AP as saying I think a few people who have access to a TV camera and ink kind of wanted to hate on me for coming down with something. First, she didn’t “come down” with diabetes – it’s not a [...]
Cook This, Not That 350 Calorie Meals – Book Review
When I first started changing my lifestyle, one of the first books I borrowed from the library was “Eat This, Not That” and then the “Eat This, Not That: Supermarket Survival Guide.” Yeah, these books get you thinking in the right direction (and they did help me initially), but truthfully, they are really just about [...]
Multi Grain Peanut Butter Cheerios – What’s Next General Mills?
Cheerios used to be thought of as one of the “good” cereals, but over the years, General Mills has capitalized on the Cheerios name to produce UN-healthier, alternative flavors like Dulce de Leche Cheerios and Chocolate Cheerios. And now Peanut Butter is part of the Cheerios flavor family! Cheerios Multi-Grain Peanut Butter cereal ingredients: Whole [...]
Yoplait Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Scam
It drives me crazy every October when I see the Yoplait Yogurt ads for their “Pink Ribbon/Lids Breast Cancer” marketing ploy. My biggest problem with Yoplait’s Pink Lid promotion, besides the obvious trick to gain more sales, is that highly processed, highly sugary food products like Yoplait Yogurt could possibly be one of the factors [...]
Confessions of a Compulsive Eater – 141.8
Okay, confession time. This summer was brutal. While on our vacations, I ate a lot lot lot of sugary foods, & it seems like it made my “compulsive” eating issues come alive a little bit. It was getting harder and harder to say “no” to foods that I shouldn’t be eating. This weekend, I didn’t [...]
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 [...]
