white meat vs. dark meat
Saturday, February 9th 2008
I went shopping at Whole Foods yesterday and got the nutritional count of the white and dark ground turkey meat. I've interested in this subject ever since I read another CKers blog about ground turkey vs, lean ground beef. I wish I could remember the blogger because it was an interesting blog. Then Denise brought to my attention that the 15% ground turkey in her store had turkey skin in it and it got me to wondering if mine did too. I started to ask around. Yes, the 85% ground turkey does have...One size, two sizes, three makes it a roll...

This morning I got up and was putting on my clothes to only hear my husband who stills sounds pretty stuffed up say, " that's pretty pathetic." I turned around and said, " you talking to me?" He grinned and laughed and then began to point out to me that two of me could fit into my underwear. Well, I hadn't really thought about it. I had been buying new pants this week but it hadn't dawned on me that the undies needed attention as well. Duh!!!! So off I went to the store to ...weighing and measuring

These fruits come out in the months of Jan. and Feb. and cost about 99 cents each.

Do Not Grow Weary

Sometimes I wish I didn't have to put down the food I was eating, put down my blood sugar readings, or take the 25 tablets of medicine I must endure on a daily basis. I wish I could pretend all my health conditions would just disappear so I could not have a care in the world. I envy those of you who only have to keep up with the food you eat each day and the exercise calories you can deduct from them. I have learned though envy doesn't make one happy only sad. Through it all I learned not to be...
