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…

Chicken with Lemony Egg Noodles and Peas (On the Run? Swim!)

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on May 26, 2009 ]

The last couple of weeks have been hectic around here. The end of school always is for those of us with school age children. I haven’t had time to write and (here’s a confession) not much time to exercise. For the most part I have eaten well balanced meals and not totally fallen off the Read the full post…

Salad Days – Salad Greens with Avocado and Pear

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on May 5, 2009 ]

We use the fun expression “salad days” as a reference to our better days when we were younger, slimmer, at the top of our game. Through healthy living, I intend to keep my salad days around for awhile. That’s why I exercise and try to eat right. I don’t intend to sit around and let Read the full post…

A Diet Discussion

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on April 29, 2009 ]

While I prefer to think of the word “diet” as a lifestyle that promotes healthy eating over a lifetime, most people probably view “diet” as a way to lose weight. And some of us seriously need to lose weight to improve our health! Most diets don’t lead to long term weight loss but encourage a Read the full post…

Spring is here and fresh produce is just around the corner! Our local farmers’ market opens the first weekend of May and I can hardly wait.

Broccoli with Bread Crumbs and Garlic (A Little Fiber Eases Things Along)

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on April 18, 2009 ]

Most Americans don’t come anywhere near getting enough fiber in their diet. Take it from someone who knows, not getting enough fiber can have unpleasant consequences. We simply don’t eat plain fruits, vegetables and whole grains like we did when our grandparents all had gardens. Lack of fiber shows up as constipation and contributes to Read the full post…

Tips and Tidbits – Baked Salmon with Strawberry Salsa

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on April 13, 2009 ]

Whoops! Spring break took a little too long! I have also been working in the yard and garden and neglected my blog. Gardening is excellent exercise by the way, just don’t strain anything. Stretching before and after all that shoveling, planting and mowing is a good way to loosen those muscles. Easter weekend just passed Read the full post…

True Confessions of a Foodie

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on March 18, 2009 ]

Right now a bag of corn chips or cheetos would be great. I love chips and salty food. I also love cookies, cake and pie. Actually, there are very few foods that I don’t like but no one realizes that I fight a desire to overeat. No, I don’t binge or try extreme diets either. Read the full post…

What are you drinking?

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on March 13, 2009 ]

The sneakiest calories are the ones we drink. For some reason, we fool ourselves into thinking that beverages have no calorie content. The same person who wouldn’t dare eat a hot fudge brownie with ice cream and nuts has no problem downing several sodas a day or ordering a fruit smoothie because it’s “healthy”.My husband Read the full post…
