Here is another tasty Tuesday tidbit...

Salad are a good meal, especially when you add chicken, turkey or other meats. But the calorie and fat count can get out of control when you drown it in dressing. Here is a great tip, I heard a while ago and use every time I get a salad. Put the dressing on the side and dip your fork in it and then get the salad. The dressing will be the last thing you taste which makes it seem like there is a lot on it, but when your done with your salad, you will have hardly used any.

Also, in general just stay away from the creamy dressings.

Hope this helps.. It gets to be frustrating to me when I see people trying to eat healthy with a salad and it ends up not being very healthy.

God bless.

Another feature I want to start on Life's Race by Grace is to give something tasty and healthy on Tuesdays. Whether it be a product or recipe, the goal is to help us make healthy choices rather than 4 Oreos and milk (not that I would ever eat that.....)

Today's Tasty Tuesday spotlight: Larabars

What: A snack bar made of nothing but all natural ingredients, often only three or four..

Where: I have found them at Whole Foods, and many grocery stores... we just got a box at Costco too

When: I eat these around workout time, for a sweet snack, light breakfast...

In a world where preservatives and endless amounts of sugar are used and consumed, these are a refreshing change. Plus, they taste like the flavor they say... Peanut Butter Cookie, really tastes like a peanut butter cookie!
