Fruit For All Project

I think this is a great project! Juicy Fruit is donating 400 meals to a food bank closest to the winner on Go Graham Go!

It's not the typical giveaway!

Win a $50 Applebee’s Gift Card from Mommy to the Max and Gift Cards Rock!

I like Applebee's simply because they share with you on their menu's the calorie count of each entree. I've been trying to watch what I eat and seeing what I'm eating shows me how much I need to work off when I go to the gym.

My only issue with Applebee's along with most out to eat places is the fact that they don't have veggies and fruits on kid's plates. I want to say, "Replace the mound of fries with broccoli and grapes please."

I actually started bringing cut up veggies and fruit to restaurants with us. Then if the kids have left overs, so be it.

I even feel this way about school lunches. They consider french fries as a veggie. Humm...the last I checked it was a carb with the sugar in ketchup, salt in the fries and oil in which they fry them. At Mica's school they have a food rainbow poster on the wall. It says something like, "Eat the colors of the rainbow." There were not very many colors when we ate there. HA

If you like Applebee's as much as I do, Mommy to the Max and Gift Cards Rock! are giving away a $50 gift card. I want to win for me! If the kids go I'll be taking extras. That restaurant is on my top lists of places to go!

Falafel

I love Falafels! For a long time I didn't know what they were. My husband makes really good ones!

You can go to Life in the Lost World to win a gift package from Falafel Republic.

To Eat Less or Not?

When it comes to eating veggies most of us need to eat more! Carbs, meat and even some fruits could be consumed less.

I started using small plates for us at home. I notice our plates look full, but we actually eat less. With meat, we slice it down the center or pound it flat. Again it looks like we're eating just as much as we used to, but in fact eating less of it.

I add a bowl full of veggies. This is something many people don't get enough of!

Surprise! We all feel full.

I'd Love a Food Processor That Works!

I bought a cheap one that is crap. I really would like one that works! This one sold at ATG Stores has inner changeable blades!

I want, I want! Crazy House is giving away a $100 GC to this store! Woo Hoo!

This is how I get my toddler to eat what I want him to eat:

I simply love these food plates!
