September 10th, 2011 at 08:58am Under Eating Well While Eating Out

Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the 2011 International Food Blogger Conference in New Orleans. It was such a great experience, as I met so many fabulous bloggers, saw great historical sights, listened to fantastic jazz music and learned crazy amounts of information. Most importantly though, I ate some of the best [...]

Coffee: Good Food or Bad Food?

September 1st, 2010 at 10:25am Under Healthy Recipes

If you simply can’t start your day without a cup of coffee, be careful about choosing a blended drink at your favorite coffeehouse. For example, a Tall White Chocolate Mocha at Starbuck’s has 310 calories, and a small Coffee Coolatta with milk from Dunkin’ Donuts has 49 grams of sugar. Yikes! But it doesn’t have [...]

A night at the movies isn’t complete without a tub of popcorn and a cold drink. But before you rush to the concession stand, consider this: a large popcorn with buttery topping can have over 60 grams of fat and some large sodas have over 130 grams of sugar. Wowzah! But it doesn’t have to [...]

Smoothies: Good Food or Bad Food?

June 11th, 2010 at 10:16am Under Diet Advice

Smoothies are a great way to get fruit and nutrients into your diet. However, when you order a smoothie, don’t think you’re always doing your body well. For example, a 16-ounce Super Yumberry smoothie at Jamba Juice has 48 grams of sugar and a 20-ounce Cranberry Supreme smoothie at Smoothie King has 554 calories. Yowzah! [...]

Fries: Good Food or Bad Food?

June 8th, 2010 at 10:50am Under healthy eating

Potatoes are a great source of key vitamins, minerals and fiber. But when potatoes are turned into fries, almost all of that nutritional value is gone. Consider this: A 4-oz. baked potato with skin has 25 percent of your recommended dose of vitamin C, no salt and only 132 calories. In contrast, a 4-oz. serving [...]

Indian Food: Good Food or Bad Food?

June 6th, 2010 at 10:40am Under healthy eating

Full of healthy vegetables and flavored with spices, Indian food has a rightful reputation of being diet friendly. While many Indian food dishes are quite healthy for you, many Indian restaurant staples are not exactly heart healthy. Samosas, a popular Indian appetizer, are usually deep fried, and Chicken Tikka Masala, one of the most popular [...]

Good Food, Bad Food: Salad

May 19th, 2010 at 10:06am Under healthy eating

Filled with fresh veggies, salads are the classic diet food. If you’re watching your calories though, don’t assume that ordering a salad at your favorite restaurant is the healthiest option. For example, the Asian Sesame Salad from Panera Bread has 20 grams of fat and 29 grams of carbs, and the Olive Garden’s Garden-Fresh Salad [...]

Taco Bell has established itself as one of the premier fast food joints because of their signature item: of course, the taco. No matter the time of day, Taco Bell tacos are a tasty choice.
