  1. My first reaction was "Oh No…the only reason I have a stove is because it came with the house." However, I realized upon further reading that these foods can be easily prepared. (even for a lousy cook like me) Now, if you'll just point me to the direction of the kitchen.
    P.S. When I say easily prepared, htere is one secret… a hubby that cooks;)

  3. Oops…did I check the wrong thing. That won't do…I'm proud of Italian hubby that excels in the kitchen.

  5. I was just about to sit down and make my grocery list – glad I popped over to Fitness Friday first!

    Thanks so much for listing all the fruits and veggies by month – that really helps me!

    Enjoy your weekend!

  7. Sandy, we are so on the same page. The key is taking the time to plan your meals for the week. If I don't plan and have the ingredients on hand, I get hungry and then the intent of good eating goes out the window. So, I try to always have fruits and vegetables in my fridge.

    One of the challenges that I have in my home is my husband. He loves spicey foods and prefers fun foods. So, I try to be imaginative and use chili and beans and make tortillas with hot sauce. He doesn't like veggies very much but when I roast vegetables he loves the taste.

    You really are making an investment in your future by the habits you chcose today. I've seen too many people who told me AFTER their heart attack, that they wished they had made healthier choices earlier in their lives. Why not prevent it in the first place, right?

  9. Hi Sandy,

    I better put down my fork of Chinese food while reading this (smile).

    Seriously, this was a very good post and don't get me started on the nonsense of this government/nation. Anyway, I'm going to link your post to my fitness blog today. I really like the information you provided. A lot of it I already follow but I picked up a few tips. Thanks as always.

    Love you.

  11. I love it that you gave a list of fruits that are in season every month! I love trying new things.

    I had to laugh at the lentils. I make a few dishes with them and when I tell people that I get the funniest look like… "What in the world are lentils?" or "Are you serious?" You can't even taste them and they are SO nutritious for you!

  15. Another great post, Sandy! I liked the list of fruits-in-season. My mom taught me that when I was a girl, but hardly anyone knows this stuff anymore because you can get some fruits all year round.

    Last week my daughter had to keep a food diary for one of her high school classes. I don't even remember what we ate that week, but when my daughter shared her list with the kids in her class they were amazed that I (her mom) actually COOKED! I asked my daughter what most kids in her class ate, and she said that they mostly went out–i.e. fast food. Ugh.

    You are doing a service to society here! 😉

  17. I loved the cheapest fruits and veggies list. I printed it and it is hanging on my fridge next to the FIT FOR LIFE guidelines.
