8 "Health" Foods you Should Avoid!

This "salad" has over 90 grams of fat and is LOADED with sodium...

I eat "healthy"..... 

Don't I ??!?!

Here are 8 "Health" Foods To Avoid!

Big companies and their marketing teams have caught on to our attraction to items labeled "healthy", "all natural", "low fat", "Multi-Grain", and other terms indicating healthy choices and boy have they risen the charge. Walking through the grocery store, you would assume that healthy choices are easy to spot and that your cart is full of high quality products offering amazing health benefits. This is not always true. Labels can be deceiving and sometimes when a product is altered to meet criteria or a label...it takes away everything that WAS good about it.

Since labels are conusing, I thought I would break down a little about some popular labels.....

10 Foods you should be eating

Are you Eating these 10 POWERHOUSE Foods?

It seems like everywhere you turn, there is information telling you why you should NOT eat something. Newspapers, blogs,television, websites, media outlets, and anywhere else you can find information are all conflicting each other when it comes to what is considered healthy. Don't eat this...don't eat that...blah, blah, blah. I finally decided that it was time to share what you SHOULD be eating. We all know that fruits and vegetables should be a part of our everyday diets so I am not going for these traditional ones. These are the items that you see in the health food aisle and wonder what they are and why they are there....You may not know about them but these 10 items which are undeniably healthy and if you aren't eating them....then you should be!

Gourmet Pizza Gone....... Healthy?!?!

The O-O-Mushetta Pizza

(Organic, Onion, Mushroom & Feta Pizza)

My new family favorite!

Recently, on a vacation, my husband and I experienced our all time favorite pizza. This was no regular pizza-It was a yeast crust topped with caramelized onions, multiple types of mushrooms, 2 types of cheese, a garlic oil base, a drizzle of truffle oil, and was finished with garlic aioli. My friends....I am talking about the Holy Shiitake pizza from Mellow Mushroom. To me, The Mellow Mushroom is a fantastic place. They have a "hippie" vibe and serve organic, fresh items with TONS of vegan and vegetarian options. Craving this pizza, I decided to look up the nutritional information...bad idea. This culinary masterpiece that we love so much is certainly not an option for our new healthy eating plan! 1 small slice has about 680 calories and 40 grams of fat...YIKES.

Something had to be done...I want my pizza!

8 steps to a Healthier Burger Night

Ready To Have a Healthy Burger Night?

We are doing our best to only put organic items into our bodies and are working on healthy eating. I have to admit that our children are doing a FANTASTIC job with the new routines! They have always been fruit freaks but until the last few months, received 3-4 fast food meals a week (served with love...of course). I am happy to report that we are down to 1 "eat out meal" per week or two. So...we deserved a reward..... Burger night!

It still had to be healthy and it always has to be easy...I would say it was a success!

Make your own Mayo in Minutes with only 5 Ingredients!

My 1st try!

As a family, we recently began reading labels and learning more about the foods that we were putting into our bodies. Am I a "hippe"? No, my husband likes to call me that though! We simply decided that our family ate too many convenience foods and WAY too many things that we couldn't pronounce! If my grandmother were alive today, she would shake her head at my old shopping carts. The woman lived 77 years and I am certain did not think that biscuits came from cans!

So, armed with a few hundred websites and a family of 7 behind me...I began tackling each item on our shopping list. This week, it was mayonnaise.

10 Things you THROW AWAY that you Could be selling on Ebay!

Have you ever watched the television show "Hoarders" ? If you have then I know that you have seen someone refer to an item as trash and throw it in the dumpster only to have the homeowner sneak themselves into the dumpster and come out carrying their prized possession. To a true hoarder, nothing is trash and everything has value or a purpose even when others don't see it. For my husband, this battle is everyday life.
Am I true "Hoarder".. not really. I do, however, tend to see value in items that others do not. Each day, I find something that has been tossed in the trash that I KNOW I can do something with.....
