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.

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 [...]

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.
