healthy eating: A Few Little NEW Food Habits to SHAKE the Sweet Tooth Roll! - 03/09/14 10:05 AM
A Few Little NEW Food Habits to SHAKE the Sweet Tooth Roll!
I already do the shop on the outside perimeter grocery aisle tango.
When you pass me on the inside aisles I'm just walking to get my daily Fitbit numbers up.
I fell off the eat healthy band wagon over the Holidays but finally got back on track to ditch the sweet tooth and junk food kick.
How you say?
I discovered that the SILK almond dark chocolate milk containers kick my chocolate craving for a whopping 100 calories.
Then my Mom mentioned the health food benefits of an apple … (2 comments)

My Grocery Cart Made Me PROUD!
I should have taken a photo.
I looked like a health nut.
I had lots of fruit, veggies and nothing NADA processed.
Yogurt and almonds, too.
Well, there's just one problem.
I saw a photo of the NEW Holiday OREO candy cane cookies on Facebook.
Good thing Roland's has closed for the night.
Saved by the locked doors. Big, big uh oh for tomorrow.

My New Realtor on the Run Healthy Breakfast Dessert Concoction? 
My Friend who loves to cook (and who is a great cook ) likes to tease me and say that  if a recipe has more than two or three ingredients I will not make it. 
We both then burst out laughing but actually it really pretty close to the truth...
Which goes to explain I crash there Holiday Time pretty regularly.
So I cannot wait to put this tried and true new recipe in front of her!
I  discovered this recipe on Facebook and modified it my GOLDEN way.
No need … (0 comments)

healthy eating: Vitamix and the Pineapple Slush Creation - 09/01/13 06:29 AM
Vitamix and the Pineapple Slush Creation....
Last week I experimented with Jars of Water filled with flavorful slices of either mango, strawberries, apple slices with cinnamon stick or a combo of lime, lemon and cucumber.
YUMBO!  The longer they stewed and brewed in the Frig,  the better they each tasted. I think by a narrow margin, Mango ice chiiled water was best.
Today's treat is my Vitamix Blender Pineapple  creation. I took a container of sliced pineapple and tossed in in the Blender with ice and water.
Tasty, tasty, tasty I must say. Now let's hope I avoid a rerun back … (6 comments)

Hand Over the Chocolate.
YES, it is going to be one of those days.
The sky is gray.
I will be within minutes of a Starbucks.
This Golden Girl gotten enough healthy grocery cart smiles and awards to last a while.
I have had enough salads and fruit water and veggies to DOLE out some ...NO PUN INTENDED ...SWEETS.
Guess who has been immersed in Closet Cleaning and Quickbooks and Numbers and Paperwork For DAYS?
It is time to draw the line. It is time for a TREAT.

healthy eating: Have you tried drinking THIS? - 07/28/13 03:01 AM

Have you tried drinking THIS?
Well, I grabbed three jars with lids and looked at my fruit and veggie bin and this is what happened.
I filled  one water jar with lime, lemon and cucumbers at the bottom.
The next water jug was filled with three  big huge strawberries. H U G E .
Number three? Two kinds of grapes! Red and Green!
My favorite so far? Surprisingly, the strawberry concoction. 
The best part? Just refill the jar after you take a few swigs from the frig.
Unless of course, you chomp on the spoils after the swigs. 
Next brainstorm? … (2 comments)

Take the Edge off your Sweet Tooth with....
I got your attention with that line, huh?
Well, plan of attack one for me was eliminate boxes, bags, and most items with ingredients.
In other words, shop the outside perimeter of the grocery store.
Somehow the addictive cravings went wayyyyyy down.
Then rev up the fruits and vegetables until fruit in your salad tastes like a sweet treat.
Next try some iced coffee with a touch of flavored cream. Tastes like a dream!

My Grocery Cart Sure Looks Different and So Does the Scale!
I stick on outside perimeter of the store.
Fruit, veggies, yogurt. No boxes or bags with ingredients.
Long gone is the bad stuff.
Even fruit and yogurt tastes sweet now.
The funny part? After a while you do not even crave it.
Pass me the bowl of cherries, please.

healthy eating: My last Sundae on a Saturday! - 09/29/12 09:56 PM
My last Sundae on a Saturday!
We had an Active Rain MeetUp yesterday at the Railway Trail in Chesapeake Beach.
Margaret Rome decided that on my Dad's Birthday 7/7 she would continue to give up sweets but also watch calories until the Charity Walk we did for Ovarian.org on 9/29 at 9:29 yesterday.
i decided to do nothing. That is UNTIL I saw the SVELTE Margaret Rome.
So my delayed reaction to seeing less of Ms. Rome is to start slowly like she did.
So she gave up the junk food, reduced calories, and initiated healthy small meals all day long.

Time for Healthy Eating Focus!
More veggies, more fruit, more raw.
Less meat, less desserts, less sugary drinks.
Less Junk Food. More simple foods.
Time for the Farmer's Market. Time for some Southern Maryland Seafood.
Guess I will throw in a few almonds, too!
It is ok Riley Rover, everything stays the same in your food bowl.

When these seven items are missing in the pantry there is big trouble!
Lemons, dog food, burger, strawberries, tea, carrots, yogurt....there you go.
The lemons and tea are big. The dog food and burger are for you know who. 
No Choboni Pineapple Greek Yogurt...emergency!
Carrots? Munch time! 
No strawberries? Get out the Jeep keys! Busy or not, it is time for a trip to the local Grocery Store for more!

Check out these fun healthy snacks!
My grocery cart looks healthier than usual. 
I focus on less ingredients, more fruit and veggies, and less cooking.
Anyway, check out these snack ideas I am experimenting with this week.
Pistachios, tuna, shrimp, crabmeat in a can, blueberry bag mix, fruit containers and snap green beans.
That's just for starters but you get the drift. Try some snack newbies for fun.
