taco-salad

Taco salad can be one of the most unhealthy dishes around when it comes to the fat content alone. In the past, I avoided taco salads for that very reason.

That coupled with a job that required me to park myself at a desk all day didn't help either. It seemed like one of the only ways I could control my weight was to … [Read more...]

Go Green With M&M’s… What’s All This Hype About Green M&Ms Anyway?

I agree with Ben Kunz who says Mars, the maker of M&Ms, is brilliant. You see, they've decided to package Green M&Ms for Valentine's Day this year. It's no secret that chocolate has its own aphrodisiac qualities. Now, top that chocolate with a green candy coating, and you've got the best of both worlds! Ask chocolate lovers to define chocolate and they will describe it as 'the love drug,' 'the eighth wonder,' 'the food of the gods,' 'a wicked pleasure,' 'better than sex,' and 'the … [Read more...]

Videos of Babies Sucking on Lemons & Limes

This is my niece, Karly, trying out a lemon for the first time in a restaurant: "When life gives you lemons... ...make lemonade!" Some people (like me), don't seem to have a problem with sour foods. In fact, some of us even crave 'em. I usually eat the lemons I receive as garnish on my plate or (or attached to my glass) in restaurants. In fact, I usually ask for the lemons from everyone else at my table, too. Here are some babies learning what lemons taste like for the very … [Read more...]

10 Things I’m Going To Miss When I Cancel My Sam’s Club Membership

After 11 years as a loyal member, I've decided to let my Sam's Club membership lapse. Why? Location, location, location. Convenience is everything to me these days, and while the Sams Club is only about 15 minutes away, I'd just rather not make the trek. I guess I'm at that point in my life, where I'm tired of nickel-and-diming everything. I've only just recently come to grips with the fact that driving 8 miles there and 8 miles back just to save $.03 on gas isn't worth it. (The savings … [Read more...]
