5 Great Kitchen Tools that help cut calories

Microwave Vegetable Steamer. For me this is indispensible. We buy a lot of frozen vegetables because way up here they are either not available or after being on a truck for a week and a half to get here they just aren’t really all that fresh anyway. I put the frozen veggies in and [...]

  • It might be good for people that are looking for substitutes to cut calories and also don’t have the time or inclination to cook a regular meal because everyone is different in reacting with each kind of situation.

Never too much, never too little

This post is in response to a question from Louise who asked “Why does eating more help?”  My answer is that it is not necessarily more that helps but more often, and with a few caveats…never too much and never too little.

The impossible I do immediately

The impossible I do immediately, miracles take a little longer.

I define impossible as the ability to keep a food log or journal of what I eat every day.  The effort lasts for about 1.25 nanoseconds and then vanishes into the Bermuda Triangle of Good Intentions.  Oh well.

Yesterday I found a Dr. Oz link that told [...]

    I still do not understand how eating more helps? Eating more often through out the day never seemed to work for me.
    Love your articles and your humor! Its uplifting – now thats something that might help me lose weight!

  • To answer your question Louise please read the next article: “Never too much, never too little”. With any luck it will shed some more light on the subject. Kim

Going green, or how I eat more salad.

Salad, I love salad.  Mostly I love salad dressing.  Now that is a problem.  Most of us do not eat the salad because of the beautiful greenery, we eat if for the yummy creamy whitery on top.  Bleu Cheese, Creamy Parmesan, and let’s not forget my personal favorite Newman’s Own Creamy Caesar.  At nearly 200 [...]

    Thanks for reminding me to eat my greens. The “5″ rule helps me to remember.

  • Miriam Johnson

    I have a salad dressing recipe to share. 1 part EVOO or just OO to two parts vinegar, flavored or not. Add the following in no particular amount, just to taste. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, italian seasoning OR tarragon seasoning OR both and the secret is…a little Equal sweetener. Then toss everything well.
    For myself a good size salad would be 1 T OO to 2 T tarragon vinegar, a HUGE heaping t of italian seasoning mixed with some tarragon, a good shake or two of the garlic powder, a couple of dashes of S and P and the equal. MMMMMMMMMMMMM It’s better than an ice cream sundae (almost)

  • Sounds great! For those of us who are trying to avoid sweeteners you could substitute a bit of orange juice, but then don’t forget to use it within a week or so. Thanks Miriam!

  • A nice method to consume salad even if you dont like it but by this method you will start loving to eat salad on a regular basis.Eating salad is really a good habit and considered as a healthy diet.

  • My favorite kind of Salad is none other Potato Salad. it really taste yummy.`’;

  • everyone should Go Green so that we can help the environment.,’*

  • going green is always the best thing to do. it helps the environment a lot.*~’

Feeding Flies

About 10 days ago after I started watching what I was eating more I decided to find out exactly how many calories were in the bowl of cottage cheese and cantaloupe that I like to eat in the morning.   I loaded up a bowl with a typical serving and weighed it out.  I was shocked!  [...]
