| Cutting Back on Fat |
Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:03:55 +00002012-01-12T16:03:55Z |
Cutting fat doesn't automatically mean better nutrition or significant calorie savings unless you also make other healthy choices, such as limiting refined sugars, choosing whole grains and fresh produce, watching sodium, and limiting portions. Plus, it's worth stating that you do need some fat in your diet, so a very low-fat to no-fat diet is not a good idea, unless specifically prescribed to help with a medical condition. Whatever your reason for eating lower fat, whether it's for medical reasons or to lead a healthier lifestyle, here are some quick and easy ways to do so. ...Read Full Post |

 Nothing beats a warm bowl of chicken soup to banish the winter blahs. This chicken soup has a generous dose of vegetables, principally leeks, mushrooms and carrots. It reminds me of the Cock a Leekie soup I had as a child growing up in Great Britain, only without the traditional prunes!

| Black Bean Chipotle Chili |
Tue, 27 Dec 2011 00:00:14 +00002011-12-27T00:00:14Z |
 This black bean chipotle chili is an antidote to all that holiday indulgence, and a wonderfully warming winter recipe. The smokiness and heat imparted by the chipotle chile adds a great depth of flavor to this hearty and delicious vegetarian dish. If you've never used chipotle chiles in adobo sauce before, be careful to use just one chile and a little of the sauce. If you make the mistake of emptying the whole can, you'll be in for something of a fiery surprise. Enjoy this black bean chipotle chili with a generous spoonful of thick and creamy fat-free Greek yogurt.
