Do Your Meals Match Your Clothes?
Lunch today consists of leftovers: a turkey burger and a half on a bed of spinach, and green beans with an adventurous dab of Asian hot sauce (not shown in the picture.)

Mango and Avocado Salad
We are often asked about fruit in our diet. In the past I ate as much of it as possible. I can say that I was a fruit-a-holic. In this past year I began to reduce my sugar intake in order to improve my cardiovascular health. In the process, I realized that the fructose in fruit… Continue reading Mango and Avocado Salad
