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…

Celebration?

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

Wow!  Have you heard the news?  Time to celebrate.  Arkansas has moved up to number 8 on the list of most obese states.  We were number 10.  With a little more work, we can finally be number 1 at something instead of Mississippi and West Virginia, those perennial favorites for anything bad such as teen Read the full post…

Time to Review: What Are You Drinking?

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on July 20, 2010 ]

In March of 2009, I wrote about beverages and how they can be part of a healthy diet or contribute to a disastrous diet.  I am writing about what we drink and how it affects your body again because of a teen I met who is seriously overweight and already has some serious health problems.

Smack in the Middle of Summer – Fried Okra

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

We are smack in the middle of summer and I’m not sure I can last to the end these days.  The heat wears me out and the mosquitos drive me crazy.  Every breathe feels like I’m drawing in syrup, not air.  I want to hole up in the air conditioning, safe from biting insects.  I Read the full post…

I’m dreaming of snow and ice and temperatures below 30.  I may be in the minority but I really don’t like the summer heat not to mention the biting insects that love me.  I feel like a slug dragging myself around in this 100 degree heat.  As usual, we have to eat but who wants to Read the full post…

The Summer Race is On!

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on June 17, 2010 ]

Used to be that summers were a time to slow down and relax; the pace was definitely more leisurely than during the school year.  The last two summers however, have found me scrambling to keep up and get everything done.  We cram as much as possible into our days which start even earlier than in Read the full post…
