I nearly ran over myself coming downstairs after putting the kids to bed last night. It was shortly after 8 p.m. and I had had a chocolate craving all day. Actually, I had been craving carbs all day. Chewy and sweet was what I was after. And, I wanted brownies. Fudge brownies. When I have a craving, it's bad. I haven't had one this bad in a long time.
"Mmmm, don't you want some ice cream?" I prodded my husband.
"No, I'm not an ice cream-aholic like you are," he said. I was disappointed. I thought I could have convinced him to join me in some indulgence.
I didn't need it anyway, I thought to myself, so it's just as well that he didn't want that hot fudge sundae I had been talking about earlier. But, man, this desire to eat was absolutely intense. So I sat down on the couch with a box of Fruit Loops.
"I thought that medicine made you not hungry," my husband said, joining me on the couch. (READ MORE)

A hot topic around my office--and in my email inbox--is food. If we're not talking about what's for lunch or dinner by 9 a.m. something's wrong.
My cooking is driven by few things--mainly time and ease. I'm like a four-ingredient cook. If it takes more than about 20 minutes of prep and actual cooking, I likely won't do it. While I like baking more than cooking, baking still has to be quick and easy. It's that whole patience thing that I lack.
A few days ago I was at a friend's house for dinner. She made an incredible chicken dish, good enough to make at home. But when she started rattling off the recipe, I lost interest--too many ingredients=too much to do. (READ MORE)

I love eggnog. Just adore it, and the fact that it's only available 6 weeks a year only adds to its allure.
The full fat full sugar, richest, yummiest version has about 60 calories an ounce. That's without the rum or the bourbon.
Even the "light" version has 26 grams of carbs in 4 ounces, 25 of them from sugars. As usual the light refers to low fat, not low carb.
I've looked around for a healthier recipe. There are a lot out there. Let me eliminate about 60% of the recipes by saying I don't want soy milk in mine. I know, I know, soy milk is so yummy and healthy and yada, yada, yada, but I just don't like it.
I saw a couple recipes that use sugar free vanilla pudding in lieu of eggs and cream to thicken. I'm going to try that one. (READ MORE)

A poster named Peg asked a question on one of my recent posts. She wanted to know if I had any suggestions on how to get her grandson to stop sneaking food that he wasn't supposed to have.
I don't know what kind of regimen your grandson is on, so I'm not sure exactly how much help I can be, but I'll give you suggestions for what we've done with Olivia. Maybe one of these will work with your grandson.

Several times a year, our social calendar involves an event in which each of us is expected to contribute food to be shared by all. In some parts of the US, this is known as a "covered dish dinner"; in ours, it's called "pot luck". Depending on the event and the organizer, there will be greater and lesser degrees of coordination regarding courses, types of dishes, and quantities to be contributed -- let's face it, unless it's a same-dish/recipe cook-off, even folk without diabetes would rather have more selection than five different pans of mac 'n' cheese, two different types of fried chicken, and twenty apple pies. When you add diabetes, food allergies, and other dietary restrictions into the mix, planning for success can get a bit rough.

In the beginning, there is orange and black foil. That foil is joined by yellow and red, with the black fading away. In what seems like an instant, the yellow and orange are things of the past and the red takes hold alongside glittering green and silver. All of these beautifully colored foils, they signify the enemy. They are the harbingers of what is, quite possibly, the most difficult time of year for me; the dreaded days between Halloween and Christmas.

I used to really like Dr. Oz. I loved the way his book YOU on a Diet makes complicated bodily functions make sense. I loved his simplistic approach to hunger and satiety, how you can satisfy your appetite centers with something other than food. I loved his easy recipes and simple exercise plan. It's all so, well, simple.
Dr. Oz is really good at simplifying things. Sometimes that's a good thing. Sometimes it's a bad thing. A very bad thing.
I was half-watching one of the morning TV talk shows earlier this week. When I saw the good doctor take the stage I turned up the volume. He was promoting his new book, YOU Staying Young. The segment featured a man and a woman who had followed the plan for three months and not only lost weight, they looked and felt younger and healthier than they had in years. (READ MORE)

In my perennial bid to lose weight, I joined Sparkpeople. It's a website that lets you track your calories and exercise, gives you menus and recipes and has a forum for support and help. The best bit is that it's free, unlike Weight Watchers, which charges to use a lot of their site. I'm not knocking WW, by the way - I've done that in the past, with great success. I just don't have the money to do it right now.

My parents are coming over for dinner tonight. I have a reputation, among my father anyway, of being a good cook. So whenever Dad comes over, I feel obligated to make something nice for him. The one requirement: It must be gluten-free.
In my summer quest to try new foods, I've discovered quinoa (pronounce keen-wa). It's a whole grain and complete protein. I wasn't quite sure what to do with it, so I did a google search, checked out some recipes and came up with my own toasted quinoa salad.

Happy Thanksgiving! It's a day of family, gratitude, and lots of food. A timeless tradition full of turkey, cranberries, and the ever present pie. Each year is a little different...family members come and go, recipes don't go as planned, and the football pick of the year wins the game.
This year, I want to focus on what I'm thankful for, what I'm happy for in my life right now. It's been a year of changes, ups and downs, bumps and bruises, smiles and tears. But today, it's not about the bumps and bruises, it's about the gratitude behind those smiles and tears.
I'm thankful for:
