When my children were younger, I took extra precautions to make sure they ate healthy at school. Being a working parent meant I wasn’t always around to monitor their eating habits. Since my children had vegetarian diets, I made it a priority to make the school aware of their dietary habits. So, when school started and the little darlings headed to school, they each had … Continue reading Is Your Child Eating Healthy at School?
In my previous post, I talked about the idea of juicing leftover salad mix. Well, this week I finally got around to trying out this idea. Before I juiced, I bought 3 cans of fruit nectar: Jumex peach, pear, and mango. There were many varieties, but since these are a few of my favorite fruits, I decided to buy these. I also thought that these … Continue reading My Love-Hate Affair with Veggie Juice
Over the weekend, I decided to invite a few friends over, for a barbecue, to celebrate my wedding anniversary. Being the perfectionist cook that I am, I decided to do all the cooking; hoping to introduce my way of healthy eating. While it was enjoyable having friends over, it was not so enjoyable preparing a lot of food for guests, who decided not to show … Continue reading Eat Your Veggies and Drink Them Too!
During my weekly grocery shopping, I always buy the same fruits: apples, bananas, and whatever fruit I think is in season. However, several months ago, the gala apples I always buy were simply tasteless. My husband and I like to chomp on an apple during our daily commute home. But, these apples tasted horrible. The sad thing is that they looked delicious. If I had … Continue reading Are You Buying Fruits & Veggies Out-of-Season?
In observance of Fruit & Veggies month, I’d like to bring attention to the wonderful world of salads. Sure, a salad is one of those dishes that you either love or hate.

Are you finding yourself feeling hungry most of the day? You’re eating, but not feeling satisfied. Well, one reason for your constant hunger may be the lack of lean protein in your diet. Eating foods high in lean protein, such as fish, lean meat, poultry, soybean, and eggs help curb hunger and promote weight loss. In fact, foods high in protein keep you feeling fuller … Continue reading Tame Your Hunger
When I chose a vegetarian diet over 30 years ago, I knew there were health benefits, but I didn’t think much of the value of good health. But, after having a family, I realized that good health is quite valuable. So, each day, for myself and my family, I make healthy eating choices: no red meat or pork, plenty of fruits and vegetables, foods low … Continue reading How Valuable is Good Health?
When it comes to having good health, don’t let your pockets be the controlling factor. A lack of funds shouldn’t be an excuse for not eating healthy. Instead, buy the best food that your money will allow. We all know that fresh fruits and vegetables are expensive. And, it seems that all foods that are good for you are just as costly. But, with a … Continue reading Buy the Best Food You Can Afford
I hear parents say a lot that they can’t get their children to eat healthy. That’s a bunch of bull_! As a parent, we have control over what our children eat. In fact, we are the examples for our children. If we eat healthy, our children will learn good nutrition and develop a habit of healthy eating. Having good nutrition is the beginning of living … Continue reading You Determine Your Child’s Good Health
Trying to develop a good habit, or break a bad one, can be challenging for most of us. We start the New Year with good intentions to exercise regularly, eat better, or quit smoking. But, after 60 days, we find ourselves ready to go back to our old habit: doing nothing. And, before you know it, we find ourselves still trying to lose those extra … Continue reading Change Your Habits for Good Health
