Happy Sunday!
Well, last night was a huge success. Had my parents for dinner... along with Ayden's buddies, Emma and Julia (you'll notice that this time Emma's name is listed first -- that's because when Ayden showed them my blog last night,... Emma asked why she was mentioned second). I call the three of them "The Pigeon Sisters" -- but of course they have no idea who the Pigeon Sisters are, or Felix and Oscar for that matter. Love the Odd Couple! My two older kids, Jesse (15) and Cole (12) were both out for the evening with friends. I made Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps for dinner and we served Ayden's chocolate muffins for dessert. Everyone thought it was delicious! Red vino for the adults :-)
This afternoon I'm prepping for tomorrow's segment on the Today Show. It's all about FIBER and should hit at about 8:30 am. Try to watch if you're around -- its very informative and has a fancy-shmancy animation off the top.
In the spirit of fiber and regularity... I picked up the biggest, most magnificent blackberries at Cosco this weekend, and tossed them on my oatmeal this morning (1/2 cup oats prepared with water and topped with 2 teaspoons maple syrup and 1 cup blackberries = 250 calories, 12 grams fiber!). Very filling and yummy. For those of you with blood sugar issues, lose the syrup and enjoy the natural sweeteness from the berries.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend! Speak with you tomorrow.

Hello - nice to see your blog.
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you, as a guy I am so frustrated by diets and nutrition info- it changes all the time - low-carb, higher fat, fiber,non-fat, low fat, Pritikin, Ornish, South Beach, Atkins, Weston Price... and many if not all are geared towards women. I just tried weight watchers but found it hard to track all the time and I kind of got turned off byt all the processed foods in meetings.... so, I am curretly reading "The Instinct Diet" by Susan Roberts Phd. from Tufts - recommended by a friend - just started but seems to be around fiber - like your talk tomorrow! Have you heard of it or her?
I am 53, which seems to make it all harder and trying to lose 30 pounds and get off a statin - any thoughts or recommendations?
