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…

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…

Time For Another Confession

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on August 31, 2010 ]

Some say that confession is good for the soul but to tell the truth, I’d rather not tell some things.  However, in my quest for good health and in order to help you in your quest for good health, I feel compelled to make confessions sometimes.  Today’s confession is: I really wanted to loose an inch Read the full post…

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on August 24, 2010 ]

Know What You Are Eating – Eat Real Food

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on July 27, 2010 ]

I had my husband pick up some food from Chick-fil-A recently to support a favorite charity that was having a fundraising event there.  Chick-fil-A is a great community supporter and I applaud their policies like not being open on Sunday.  However, it is still fast food and I really don’t like the food.  My daughter, Read the full post…
