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…

Food Confessions – Lemon Dill Salmon

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on November 10, 2009 ]

Sometimes, even the cardiologist’s family makes poor food choices. Sometimes we indulge in too many sweets or fatty foods. This weekend I attended Christmas open houses at local stores. It is one of my favorite events because they all serve delectable treats and have new merchandise out to start the Christmas shopping frenzy. I managed Read the full post…

High Fructose Corn Syrup, Guilty or Innocent?

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on November 6, 2009 ]

I’m continuing my discussion of sugar today with the bad boy of sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup. Several early studies linked America’s rapidly increasing obesity problem to our equally rapid rise in the consumption of high fructose corn syrup since the 1970′s. But does it deserve this bad reputation? The question isn’t easily answered as Read the full post…

Sugar, Not So Sweet?

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on November 3, 2009 ]

Ah, sugar, the ultimate seducer, wrecker of diets, destroyer of teeth. What would we do without you? Fortunately, I’ve never been a sugarholic but my husband’s family is adicted. His parents used to bring their own sweets to my house because I didn’t serve enough desserts. His mother has cut back on sweets at the Read the full post…

Heart Disease Awareness

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on October 30, 2009 ]

An Apple A Day

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on October 20, 2009 ]

My husband gave me an article yesterday in USA Today, Parents Can Help Their Children Grow To Love Vegetables, because it is just what I wrote about last week. You can read it online by googling USA Today and looking under health. There were plenty of alarming statistics in this piece. A new study shows Read the full post…

Pesto! My Most Requested Recipe (by the kids anyway)

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on October 15, 2009 ]

Confession: Yesterday I had onion rings for lunch along with a smoked chicken sandwich on grilled sourdough, with tomato, red onions, jalapenos and cheddar cheese. Delicious! Healthy? Probably not the best choice. The point is that it is ok to eat your favorite foods once in awhile even if they aren’t the best choice nutritionally. Read the full post…
