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…

Recipes And Updates – Chili Carrots

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on February 25, 2011 ]

I seldom cease to be amazed how some people never eat vegetables and don’t even recognize them when they hold them in their hand.  Just the other day I was at the grocery and my check out girl exclaimed, “Oh, this zucchini feels weird!  I’ve never held one before.”  I can’t imagine the look on my Read the full post…

Finding Inspiration

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on February 22, 2011 ]

I was lucky to spend this past weekend at the Missouri Grand Prix, a swim competition for Olympians, Olympic hopefuls and up and coming young swimmers.  Never have I been around so many wonderfully healthy, fit people.  Elite athletes understand that good nutrition, health and fitness is the key to their sport, even more than Read the full post…

Flu Shot Or Not

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on February 10, 2011 ]

The flu is something I’ve never worried about; it just didn’t seem that bad so I have never gotten a flu shot either.  The rest of my family gets a flu shot.  I think Barry is more likely to get the flu given his line of work and I’ve always thought schools are the breeding Read the full post…

Health Tests For The Cardiologist And His Wife

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on February 8, 2011 ]

Recently I began to wonder whether my own health is really as good as I think it is.  And what about my husband’s health?  Though we exercise, are we really fit or are we fooling ourselves?  So we decided to put ourselves to the test.  Last week, we had blood drawn for several tests and Read the full post…

Super Bowl Menu

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

As promised, I have finally settled on a Super Bowl menu which I will share with you.  I’ve tried to include fun party food while keeping the fat, sugar and calories under control.  The dips are kept to a minimum because they encourage mindless overeating.  Of course the key at any party is not to Read the full post…
