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…

Wanting To Have My Cake AND Eat It Too. (Spicy Vegetarian Chili)

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on October 5, 2010 ]

I’ve learned something interesting lately:  I can’t eat anything extra without gaining weight.  I’ve been trying to lose just 5 pounds so my jeans will be more comfortable.  Plus, I have acknowledged that I have indulged in too many chocolate milkshakes and other goodies over the summer when I wasn’t exercising near enough. I bought a nice set of Read the full post…

Pat’s Red Beans and Rice

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on September 30, 2010 ]

Did I ever mention that it’s hard to be healthy?  In our society, eating right and getting enough exercise can be difficult, even for the dedicated.  I consider myself to be dedicated but not fanatical about good health.  And I find it difficult to do the right things every day.  Exercise is pretty easy for Read the full post…

Time To Double Up

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on September 28, 2010 ]

This is the time of year that I make double batches of many dishes so I can freeze some for later.  Last night I made red beans and rice, an easy dish, and froze half for another meal.  This is such a simple dinner solution for all those busy nights when you really don’t have Read the full post…

Things You CAN Eat

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on September 22, 2010 ]

I posted a list of the top ten things to avoid recently so in return, I’m posting things it is OK to eat (in moderation of course).  I always try to make the point that we aren’t strict vegetarians around here, nor do we forgo sweets and some fat in our diet.  We aim to get Read the full post…

It’s A Waistline, Not A Waste Land

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on September 16, 2010 ]

If you have been listening to the radio this week, or maybe you caught this tidbit elsewhere, you heard the news that clothing manufacturers are conspiring to make you think you are smaller than you are.  I was aware that women’s clothing had actually gone up in size from the days of my youth, but Read the full post…

Beware The Food Manufacturer

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on September 14, 2010 ]

I know many of you just don’t get my passion for eating right and exercising as a means to good health.  I know most of us just expect good health to happen and wonder why we are “unlucky” when our health goes to hell in a hurry.  And do we want our doctors to fix Read the full post…

Foods To Embrace – Tomatoes with Fresh Peaches, Goat Cheese and Pecans

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on September 10, 2010 ]

After my last post about foods to avoid, a friend jokingly asked what’s left to eat?  Now I know she knows better but some of you don’t know there is a world of food out there to explore.  Being a foodie, my mission is to leave no food unexplored (except for those involving insects or Read the full post…
