Generally I just find something in between and go with it, figuring I did the best…

I love carbs! They are the hardest thing for me to try to cut back on when I am trying to lose a little extra weight. Pastas, breads, and just about any other carb you can think of are my favorites. I’ve learned to find ways to lower my carb intake rather than get rid of them…

One of the most common problems that adults face when visiting the dentist is gum disease. This disease affects nearly half of all adults, even those who…
My kids and I love fruit. They have fruit daily in their lunches and for an after school snack. We often put lots of fruit in smoothies and I puree fruit to make frozen fruit pops, too. But even with the amount of fruit we try to eat, it’s easy to fall short of the…
