The Heat Has Got Me Cooking…On The Dashboard Of My Car – Part 3
Ahhh, sweet, cool breezes…finally, the heat has broken and today’s high of 85 seems so reasonable after what we’ve been through for the last few days.

Summertime BBQ’s Can Lead To Weight Gain
July 20, 2011 Summertime means backyard barbecues and plenty of good times. But it also means your waist line will expand if you don't watch yourself.

Some things were meant to be together: peanut butter and chocolate, strawberries and cream, chips and dip…but pork and Gummy Bears?!
Grundhofer's Old-Fashion Meats in Hugo makes a Gummy Bear brat and actually sells hundreds of pounds of them every week. KARE 11 did a story on this perplexing combination and I thought it was worth sharing.

US Government Mandates Fast Food Nutrition Labeling
July 7, 2011 In an effort to help people make more informed choices when eating away from home, the federal government is introducing mandatory nutrition labeling for fast food menus and vending machines.
Items sold at movie theaters are exempt, which is odd given what calorie bombs those snacks can be.
