 In a new report by Isaac Wolf of the Scripps Howard News Service, some restaurants may not be delivering what they say they are on their menus. From March to May this year, Scripps stations tested food in eight cities from chains that offer health-conscious menus.
Unfortunately, their findings leave this restaurant eater a bit frustrated. As one who reads menus and often gravitates toward items boasting they are low in calories and fat, it underscores the old adage, “Caveat Emptor” or “Let the buyer beware.”

 I went to the movies tonight and shared some popcorn with my family. Popcorn is a popular snack with my family. And that may be a good thing. A recent study reported in the May 2008 Journal of the American Dietetic Association reveals that people who snack on popcorn may eat more whole grains than people who don’t eat popcorn.
The current Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend eating at least 3 servings of whole grain foods daily. Popcorn is a whole grain.

 Spring berries have arrived and they’re so juicy and delicious! Their sweet, yet tart, flavor keeps me coming back for more. They’re colorful, fun and festive and dress up any meal.
From breakfast to evening snacks, berries are great served alone or with cereal, yogurt, and salads. Pureed, they’re delicious in smoothies made with yogurt or spritzers made with sparkling water. Comments (3) |
