Quick Tips for Eating Healthier

02Sep2014
We are inundated with “helpful” infomercial producers, authors, friends, and family telling us how to eat healthfully. There are books, CDs, and whole coaching programs focused almost exclusively on teaching us about health, nutrition, and eating.
There are so many sources that, in fact, it may seem overwhelming. These people are (mostly) well-meaning. They really do want to help, but health and nutrition are confusing, right?

When some people think of dessert, they think of rich ice cream, sugary cakes, chewy cookies, or sweet candy. But there are lots of alternative desserts that are much healthier and just as enjoyable.

26Nov2012
Is it really possible to celebrate National Cake Day and still eat healthfully? It turns out that it is! You just have to select a healthier cake recipe.

I did a quick search on Google for the term “healthy cake” … Read the rest
