Conversion chart

This is a great thing to have on hand.  When I find charts like this in magazines, I take a picture of it with my phone, so I always have it on hand.  I have also been doing this with passages in articles I like.  There is so much good information out there. I hate to read something only to lose it in my head (and I think a lot of you understand that statement all too well!).

I love roasted vegis!!!!

I made a huge platter of roasted sweet potatoes, yukon gold potatoes and brussel sprouts.  Look how pretty these are!!!

I like to line a baking sheet with non-stick tin foil.  Cut up your vegis (try to make them all around the same size), toss with olive oil, and put them in a 450 degree oven.  Keep an eye on them.  You will need to toss them around 8 minutes into them cooking, to try to get multiple sides brown = crunchy and yummy.  Finish with a toss of kosher salt or sea salt.

Healthy, pretty and yummy.....who could ask for anything more?!?!?

So interesting

Look what I saw the other day.....

On McDonalad's menus at the drive thru, there are calories listed.  I don't know if they are listed inside (since I rarely get out of my car at McD's), but I would assume so.  Really interesting.  I wonder if this will cut into their sales? I know that when I was picking up a soda for our daughter, I was thinking of getting a coffee drink.  All I had to do was look at the calories, I didn't get it.  Would seeing the calories of what you are going to eat influence your choices?  Let me know.....
