I started looking at the science of nutrition, not the hype of the latest craze or best seller. In the process, I lost over 40 pounds

On May 18, 2012
I keep a blog on my own website, with lots of articles and recipes. Today I'm reposting a recipe that I made earlier this week that was a big hit with my family.

Mixed Grains

Water, my favorite light summer "cocktail"
On Apr 09, 2012
Some emailed me with the suggestion to do a blog post about light cocktail recipes. Personally, I'm still in weight-loss mode, and alcohol at 7 calories/gram does not fit into my daily plan. I look at alcohol as a treat. Something to have on a rare occasion. I’m not recommending that you all completely
