Plastic is everywhere: In our homes, in our schools, in our kids' toys, even in the pens we inadvertently chew on. Plastic is also in landfills. About 85% is never recycled! Plastic is how the food industry packages a sizeable percentage of our food. Have you ever noticed the markings on the packaged foods you [...]
A recent article in the Chicago Tribune, Good Carb, Bad Carb, caught our eye because of its title “Good Carbs, Bad Carbs”. Carbohydrates, to remind you are one of the three macronutrients making up almost all foods, alongside with fat and protein. Over the years both fats and carbs have been vilified and exonerated, to the [...]

This picture was taken at a Shell Gas Station in the San Francisco area. Just a friendly reminder from the convenience store inside to fuel up on sugars and fats as you’re fueling your car. While automobiles can consume only one type of fuel, humans are a much more complex machine. We can ingest a wider variety [...]
It’s always interesting to see what commercials will air during “The Biggest Loser”.

"A quick, no-fuss version of chicken tortilla soup! All you do is put everything into the slow cooker, and turn it on. Then garnish with baked corn tortilla strips!"
"My family are big-time hunters. I am always looking for tasty, healthy ways to prepare the game in my freezer. This is one of my favorite options for using up the sometimes tough round steaks - and it couldn't be more simple! It is also great with elk and beef."
"My family loves these peppery veggie fajitas! Serve the fajitas with flour tortillas, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and I even put steamed broccoli on the side (so each can add broccoli if wanted)."
"This simple stir-fry has a sweet taste that appeals to teenagers. While broccoli is specified here, it's easy to add whatever vegetables you have available to it. Serve this over rice for a filling meal."
"Browned short ribs are simmered for about 2 hours with onions, pineapple, honey, and chili sauce. Vinegar could be added for a sweet-and-sour variation."
"Green bell peppers are filled with ground beef, cooked rice, tomato sauce, and seasonings, then baked for an hour with additional tomato sauce and Italian-style seasoning."
"Tired of the flat flavor of store bought orange gelatin? You can make your own with this simple recipe of gelatin, orange and lemon juice and zest and sugar."
"This delightful, guilt-free dessert can be whipped together in just 5 minutes. It's suitable for everyone, vegans and chocoholics alike! The banana and chocolate completely mask the tofu taste, no one will guess your secret!"
"This tofu mayonnaise is great for anyone who is lactose-intolerant or vegan. It's real thick and creamy and you can add seasonings to fit your fancy! Great for pasta salads or anywhere you'd use mayonnaise."
"An easy, crust-free cheesecake that is topped by store-bought lemon curd. Lemon curd can be found in the 'jams and jellies' aisle of the grocery store. "
" This is the best. Your guests will go mad and want the recipe. Please give it to them. Consisting of spinach, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise and plenty of cheese, it bakes in the oven until bubbly and all the cheese is melted."
"A spicy, tasty and extremely moist boneless pork roast. This recipe uses a dry rub combination that you rub on the meat before you roast it. The rub includes dill seed, fennel seed, oregano, lemon pepper, garlic and onion powder."
"We see recipes for seasoned salt all over the place. Why not make you own seasoned ketchup? Vary ingredients to your liking. Here is a good start! This recipe is a base only. The brand of ketchup you start with will have a bearing on the ingredients you want. HAVE FUN!"
"Fresh tuna is marinated in a sweet marinade of fish sauce, lime juice, and honey, stir-fried, and then tossed with garden fresh tomatoes, basil, and cilantro. A small, red chile pepper adds spice to this warm tuna salad."
"Lightly spiced lentils in a tamarind and coconut sauce, tempered with Indian spices. Serve hot with rice. Try it with other vegetables too, such as potato, cauliflower or okra. The ingredients should be available at any Indian market or at specialty stores. The tamarind pulp may be substituted with reconstituted tamarind paste."
"Great-Grandma Maida Dixon made this salad for family gatherings. I think of her every time I make. It's sooo good. It needs to be placed in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld. It really is worth the wait."
"A fast and healthy breakfast cereal or high-energy snack. Oatmeal made with coconut, raisins, cranberries, walnuts. Brown rice can be used in place of oatmeal."
"This spicy dish combines fresh zucchini, rice, beans and cayenne pepper to really spice up your summer. You may wish to adjust the spices to your taste- we like it hot! Serve with tortillas on the side to scoop up all of the goodies."
