Disclaimer: This is a cookbook review. It must be mentioned that I love reading cookbooks, and am inspired by recipes, but rarely follow them. Keep in mind, my opinions might be completely different from the other home cooks. I really like watching the Biggest Loser on TV, so I was curious to read the The [...]

169 and Sabotage!
Omg. I haven’t even had dinner yet and I only have 129 calories left for my day! What’s wrong!!! ??? I made a loaf of wheat/white bread and of course I had a huge hunk! I had to add olivio spread on it too! The good news us I weighed myself yesterday morning and I [...]
Whole Foods & High Fructose Corn Syrup
I was shocked to find Lea & Perrins Worcester Sauce at Whole Foods store the other day! Did you know that Lea & Perrins contains high fructose corn syrup!? Yuck! What’s THAT doing at Whole Foods!? It’s really such a shame. I suppose one could argue that you are using such a small amount, that [...]
Christmas 2009 Woes and Joys
Yeah, I didn’t do such a wonderful job on my food choices during the holiday, but it’s okay. I am back on track today (Saturday, Dec 26) and will continue to stay on track! It was a bit scary, because I got a wake up call. It’s so easy for me to revert back to [...]
What’s High Fructose Corn Syrup Doing In Cottage Cheese?
They didn’t have the Breakstone 2% cottage cheese I usually buy at the grocery today. I noticed a 2% pineapple flavor, but when I took a look at the list of ingredients, there it was: High Fructose Corn Syrup!!! Why? Why couldn’t they just add pineapple and be done with it!? Makes me mad! It [...]
Hungry Girl – Fat Free Cool Whip vs Fat Free ReddiWip
Over on the Hungry Girl Facebook Page, Lisa Lillien recently posed a question to her fans: Cool Whip Free vs. Fat Free Reddi-wip. A fair fight dessert topping brawl with a clear winner… Thoughts???? The answers weren’t surprising, but they made me sad nevertheless. Let’s compare the ingredients: Reddi Whip Fat Free: Nonfat Milk, Cream, [...]
Fast Food Nation – Book Review
I found the audio version of “Fast Food Nation” by Eric Schlosser, at my local library. It starts off a bit slow; I actually stopped listening for a few days, but I am glad I gave it another try. By the time I started disc 6, I was riveted. It broke my heart to hear [...]
Halloween – And Not One Bit of Candy!
Good for me! We went over to Mike’s sister’s place last night to be with the kids for Halloween. We also brought along the dogs, which was really fun! Anyway, I am happy to report that I didn’t have one bit of Halloween candy last night! Wasn’t even tempted. I think it’s like when I [...]
Supersize Me
I am now a huge (no pun intended) fan of Morgan Spurlock. His book, Don’t Eat This Book: Fast Food and the Supersizing of America started it all for me! I knew fast food was bad for my health, but I didn’t really realize how bad until I took a real close look at the [...]
This is Too Easy, no?
Well, I weighed myself on both scales just now. The new digital scale is off about a pound to the older one, but either way, I am down another 2-3 pounds! Something must be wrong! How can the weight be coming off so easily? I am scared it’s just a temporary thing and the next [...]
