Crackers Recipe!

On Sunday I was planning on going to the beach, but unfortunately that didn’t quite work out. I was considering slugging through the day whining “woe is me!”, but then decided that I’d be more productive and a good deal less annoying if I made crackers instead. I stumbled upon this recipe from The Kitchen [...]

Lists and Arms Exercise: Action!

More and more lately I have found myself becoming restless and a touch stir-crazy. During these summer months in between the school year, I really lack a proper routine. Working part-time has the benefit of leaving plenty of time for me to play, read and write, see friends, experiment with cooking, and explore my fitness [...]

Dehydrating Food: Rounds Two and Three

The Banana Chips If you can recall, one of my great ambitions with the dehydrator was to make banana chips. Come to think of it, I’m not sure exactly why. I just always see them at the store and they often seem to find their way into trail mixes, but I’d never tried them. I [...]

Deconstructing Salads

Most people look really freaked out when I say that I prefer salad without the dressing. Sometimes at restaurants I won’t even order the dressing on the side; I’ll just ask for no dressing whatsoever. When we have salads at home, I request that we don’t mix the dressing in the salad so that I [...]

Book Review: "Don't Eat This Book" by Morgan Spurlock

How great are the bargain sections in bookstores? I picked this book up for about $3 because the back cover has a very slight tear in the corner. Considering how often I spill food on books/drop them/fold them inconsiderately, a little tear doesn’t do much to worry me. Especially not when the book is of [...]

Mmm, burned food!

It was with great excitement that our old dehydrator was re-discovered whilst combing through our storage unit! Visions of beef jerky and banana chips danced in my head and yesterday I tried it out for the first time, using apple ring slices and chopped up celery. I had hopes that the celery would turn into [...]

Make Your Foods Super!

We’re a healthy blog over here, so finding healthy recipes is one of my top priorities. Something that I think is fun to do is to find as many different books/websites as I can get my little paws on and find the healthiest recipes among them. Even from “restrictive” diets, like vegan or fad diets, [...]

Cookbook Review: "The Healthy Carbs Diabetes Cookbook"

A short while ago I was offered this cookbook and asked to try some recipes and review them. And of course I was only too happy to oblige! After testing four recipes and carefully scrutinizing the book, I am happy to say that my conclusions have been all drawn up regarding this cookbook. And please [...]

Links for Body Confidence and Self-Exams

Normally I don’t pay all that much attention to the world of celebrities, but yesterday I came across this site, and its now one of my favorites! Healthy Hollywood treats these celebrities like real people and shows how awesome some of them are with their fitness and nutrition regimes. I particularly love this entry about [...]
