The Dirty Dozen
The 12 fruits and veggies you should be buying organic.
With over-whelming research and publications about organic foods, it is difficult to ignore the benefits. Among other benefits, buying and eating organic reduces the amount of chemicals you place in your body and it’s better for the environment from the lack of pesticides. However, there are two main things that hinder my organic eating. 1.) Organic produce isn’t always in large supply. 2.) Lets just face it, eating organic is expensive.
Thankfully, I found the “Dirty Dozen.” The Dirty Dozen has become important in my grocery lists and has helped my wallet on weekly shopping trips. The D.D. is a list of 12 items to help you buy organic, healthy foods. It was compiled by the USDA after washing produce with the mother of all washing systems. The produce that made the list still [...]
6 Foods with Healthy Alternatives
Food cravings are time and time again a topic that comes up with weight gain. Its a big issue. I, myself, have an intense craving for peanut butter pretty much throughout the day. I find myself going to the peanut butter jar often and scooping out a little spoonful just to satisfy my craving… thats not good! At least I only purchase peanut butter without any additives like sugar or salt – just peanuts ground up, thats all! Anyway, the point is that we all have cravings and usually it tends to be for something we really shouldn’t be eating if were trying to lose weight.
I want to share with you a healthy list of alternatives to foods that we crave or just foods that we eat often. Here’s to Clean Eating

Goodbye Hostess – This is good news for our health
I woke up this morning to the news that Hostess is closing up shop! WOW! That’s shocking! I haven’t eaten a Hostess product in about 3+ years (actually this is a guess, because I really can’t remember!)… but it still strikes a sad chord in me. Not because I want to eat these products or crave them, but just the iconic value that Hostess had in my life… growing up I LOVED the cupcakes, the donuts (“Donettes”), the Ho-Ho’s…. when I think of them in my mouth now though, I feel kinda queasy! Too sweet for my taste! But the memories are good times with my friends eating Ho-Ho’s, laughing and having a good time.
Nowadays I wouldn’t ever eat these products… unless I was starving! And there was nothing else to eat, I might. They just are nutrition-less… if that’s a word. [...]
