healthychoice 575 x 347 Healthy Choice Makes for Easy Meals

All the single ladies…all the single ladies.  All the single ladies…eat frozen meals.  Is that a Beyonce roll, rather than a Rick-roll?  Anyway…Now that I have successfully gotten that song stuck in your head, let’s talk about dinner.  Or lunch, as the case may be. 

As a very busy single lady, sometimes I eat frozen meals.  While I don’t mind cooking, and often do, there are times that when I get home from work that the last thing I want to do is get out pots and pans to make a meal for just me.  But I’m not in the mood to have a sandwich, bowl of cereal, or leftovers.  Enter the savior of dinnertime – Healthy Choice and Marie Callender’s frozen meals.

positivesprouts3 Positive Sprouts for Healty Eating

If someone were to tell me that people don’t eat fresh fruits and vegetables, I would not have believed you.  At least not before I moved to the area I live in, that is!  When we moved here, I could not believe what people ate.  I mean, I’m known for having cake for breakfast – just ask anyone that I have morning meetings with.   But I do mix in healthy foods during my day. 

The Boys and Girls Club of America, along with Amway, want to change that.  Amway?  That's kind of an odd partnership, isn't it?  To some, it may be.  You can find out more about the relationship between Boys and Girls Club of America and Amway here.

Why Whole Grains are Important

March 7, 2012 By 4 Comments

When we were kids, we were told that cereal was healthy for us.  We ate cereal by the bowl full.  We even had cereal for a snack.  Then, when we were older, it was announced that hey, maybe cereal isn’t the best thing for us to have.  For me, this came when I was in college.  We still ate it by the bowl full, as we were college kids.  Only now we’d have cereal for dinner. 

 Now that I’m a full-fledged adult, cereal is good for you again.  One of the main reasons is that whole grains are being used.  This is important, as highly processed grains have become more commonplace over the years.  When food is processed, it strips the nutrients out.  General Mills is one of the leaders in this arena.  They have changed the main ingredient in their cereals to whole grains instead of the highly processed grains that had become popular.  [Read more...]
