Hello and welcome to WIAW in December! I saw another blogger mention how the first Home Alone movie is now 22 years old! That hit me like a semi-hard brick. Only semi-hard because I'm already a little aware of the aging process. Anyway, who else is in awe at how time flies?
Sooo, I have little time to write today, so I want to share some of my past blog posts on Healthy Food Tips and Ideas. As far as what I ate, it's been nothing different from past weeks, so please forgive me for not posting.
Before I start the list, I'd like to say congrats to Katherine for winning my Crunchmaster Kid's Crisps giveaway; thank you all who entered! And, as always, a big thanks to Jenn @ Peas and Crayons for hosting yet another festive What I Ate Wednesday!
Easy and Healthy Food Swaps - This was around Easter, but applies year round
How to Survive Vacation as a Health Food Fanatic - A follow up from my other vacation post; this lists things I ate while on vacation
Veggies Don't Need Ranch Dressing! - The title says it all; just my views on Hidden Valley's "healthy" advertising
5 Healthy Ways to Add Protein to Salad - This was a summertime post, but again, salads are great all year!
What's the Next Fad Diet and Why? - In sum, fad diets are pointless, dumb, and, well....fads
Top 5 Healthy and Tasty Dip Substitutions - My favorite savory dips; good for any dip lover!
Pumped Up Protein Staples - A list of my favorite protein dips and baked items with a link to all of my recipes at the end. Trust me, making these are worth your while!
And, before I leave, here's a quick Google search for "Just Add Cayenne" and "Healthy Recipes". It might be a little biased, but I think these are the best! : )
How well are you managing time for the holidays? I'm already not a fan of going out to eat, but with social gatherings and whatnot, I'm not going to escape it. Speaking of, I'm heading out for dinner at a nice seafood place with co-workers. As a fan of seafood, I'll get over my dislike of going out if there's fresh crab on my plate!
Hope you all have a great week and get any shopping done soon; it's only getting crazier!!
Happy What I Ate Wednesday!
Everything looks tasty! You're right, veggies don't need ranch dressing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Fran! Veggies are superb on their own or maybe with a little bit of mustard. Oh, and peanut butter and carrots is an awesome combo!
DeleteGreat tips. I'm with you on vegetables not needing ranch dressing! Have a great Wednesday =)
ReplyDeleteHi there, thanks for the support! I feel like so many disagree with me, so it's always nice to be in the foodie blog world where others agree! Thanks for visiting and sorry for the very late response!
DeleteUrgh. Whenever I see those ads for the children with ginormous bowls of broccoli, then a 2 cups of salad dressing slathered on top... And that tomato, er, "Cherry on top"? Just drives me batty. My brother is one of those people who needs dressing to eat vegetables, and chicken, and just about everything else. Haha. Delicious, but not the way any of that was intended to be eaten! The day that I found out you could get Olive Garden's dressing on the side was seriously one of the best days ever.
ReplyDeleteI know, it's maddening!! I used to have a huge spot on my plate with ranch dressing to dip pizza in. Now, I don't even have pizza and eat plain raw or steamed veggies and I enjoy it! I know most of my peers "have" to have their food slathered in some non-nutritive dressing....bleh.
DeleteSo glad you're with me on this one, and yes, getting Olive Garden's dressing on the side is a must! Thanks for stopping by!
All great tips! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shannon! Hope they were helpful!
DeleteGreat eats! I love your post on how to eat healthy on vacation, too:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by. Sorry I haven't come back to reply to everyone, I really can't express how much I appreciate each person's comments.
DeleteI could probably go on an on in another eating healthy on vacation....hmmmm, near future?
Have a great weekend!
Happy WIAW! I like your Pump Up the Protein post. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi, so sorry for the late response! I blame the holidays for having me so turned around lately. Thank you for viewing and posting a comment. And Happy very belated WIAW!!
