Pimento Cheese, Not Your Grandma's Spread

Pimento cheese is one of those foods that has been so corrupted by the food industry that it has become synonymous with other crappy foods like Spam.  I'm not even certain what store bought pimento cheese might contain, nor do I want to find out.  It's a shame because pimento cheese can be a delightful treat, even if it does Read the full post…

Plum Good BBQ Sandwiches

In a few days it will officially be fall but the temperatures are still warm enough for me to continue swimming for a few more days.  The breeze was a little cool but that didn't stop me from swimming several laps this morning and I felt great afterwards!  Have you exercised lately?  With fall's cooler temperatures and fewer insects, you Read the full post…

Shingles Vacine and Treatment

A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with shingles so I felt I should discuss this nasty virus once again.  If you ever had chicken pox, you are at risk for getting shingles and believe me, you don't want it.  Shingles is a painful rash with blisters that scab over and may take 4 weeks or more to heal.  The Read the full post…

Vegetarian Tacos are muy delicioso!

There are times when I think I could easily become a vegetarian, especially when I try a new dish that is as good as the vegetarian tacos I had at Local Lime restaurant in Little Rock and the tofu fried rice at Sai Tai here in Jonesboro.  My husband and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary this past weekend by spending Read the full post…

Body Sculpting

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on July 7, 2011 ]

As I mentioned in my last post, I enrolled in a body sculpting class on the cruise and really enjoyed it.  Well, maybe not enjoyed, but I definitely feel I learned a great new workout.  I sweated so much, it was dripping in my ears and I could hardly walk up stairs the next day.

Surviving A Cruise Vacation With Your Health Intact

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on July 6, 2011 ]

Last week I took my first cruise vacation and since we didn’t have affordable internet connections, I made no posts.  We went to Alaska and it is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth, remote and unspoiled.  I hope it always stays that way. Cruises are notorious for being little more than a Read the full post…

Dehydration

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on June 23, 2011 ]

Dehydration can be a problem in the summer, especially for the young and the elderly.  Of course you can become dehydrated at any time, but the heat tends to make things worse.  I decided to talk about dehydration because a child I know had been exercising and working in the heat but not drinking enough.

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on June 21, 2011 ]

I hope I don’t sound like I’m no fun, always harping on this or that, don’t eat that, exercise, exercise, exercise!  But I realized a long time ago that if you don’t take care of the only body you’ll ever have, you certainly won’t be having fun.  Ask my niece if having skin cancers removed Read the full post…

Chicken Paprika (Cook Books)

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on June 14, 2011 ]

Some people collect cookbooks; they just can’t seem to pass one up.  I have always tried to avoid buying cookbooks because they clutter up the kitchen and after a while, it seems like the recipes get repeated.  Still I have a number of cookbooks that were sold for fundraisers and others that were gifts.  I Read the full post…

Snacks For Camps

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on June 9, 2011 ]

My happy camper at Mizzou swim camp. Do you wonder what food to pack for your child when they go off to camp?  Sending snacks for a week long camp can be tough, especially if they won’t have access to a refrigerator.   If the food at camp is really bad, snacks can help your Read the full post…

Epic Fail – A Confession

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on June 3, 2011 ]

Time for a confession: I failed on the Slim Fast Diet in record time.  Actually, the truth is that I am not a good dieter.  I cheat constantly.  When I tried the 17 Day Diet, I only did the breakfast and lunch portion and pretty much ate what I wanted for dinner.  Since I usually Read the full post…
