Margarita Friday!

Tequila, triple sec, limeade, ice, and a blender. Happy Margarita Friday!! If you throw in some strawberries, you can count it as a serving of fruit!

New stuff

Hey friends-
This poor blog was abandoned for a few weeks; it turns out that vacationing, moving, and starting a new job leaves little time for online fun! But I am back, and will try to be more consistent. Did anyone notice that someone has opened another nutrition blog with a super-similar name. (Not that this one is so unique…!) bummer. Oh well, there’s plenty of room for everyone and hopefully they are giving sound advice.

I don’t have any great topic idea for today. If the rain would let up I might fire up the coals and throw some veggies on the grill. (Steak would be great but would also require a trip to the store…) My favorite is veggie shish-kabobs; mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumber, onion… I’m working on a good sauce to use to keep them from being too dry. I’ll let you know. Hope everyone’s utilizing the farmers markets to get in their fresh fruits and veggies!

DNA vs DIET

So.  After one whole year of eating less meat, WAY less cheese, using the right cooking oils, eating loads of fruits and vegetables, getting all kinds of exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight…

my cholesterol is still high.

That, my friend, is called genetics.  The diet is a great tool to have to keep ourselves healthy, but unfortunately, DNA is the boss!
