Getting kids (and sometimes adults) to eat vegetables can be a
challenge. Some of the issues may involve texture, while some people
are just "super-tasters" and a pungent flavor may be a hyper-taste
experience. But in many cases, people have just not been exposed to the
vegetables and develop a "veggie resistance." This can also happen
when mom or dad gives up after one or two attempts to get their kids to
eat a new vegetable. So first up - it can take somewhere around
20 taste exposures (or just visual and taste exposures) to get a child
to try a new vegetable. Adding a dip or jazzing up the presentation can
help. It can also help to get your kid involved in the veggie
selection/prep - those who enjoy the experience and are proud of the
results, may be more likely to try it!! Country Crock
has put out an adorable new recipe book that creates amazing visual
recipes from vegetables. These combine family fun in the kitchen and
good taste too! Log on to www.averyveggieworld.com
and you will find 25 whimsical recipes that take vegetables to a whole
new level. Of course, some of them use Country Crock's spread and most
meet a health standard that parents will find refreshing - you will get
your kids eating vegetables a whole new way!! Many of the recipes lend
themselves to "fun and entertaining" for adult gatherings too.

AMY'S MONTHLY LIFESTYLE PEARL
My March newsletter never goes out on the first Monday of the month because I love sharing new and "favorite finds" from Natural Product West Convention which happens early March every year. I was not disappointed, nor was my husband, my favorite taste tester - who skipped dinner that night having eaten quite the menu of tastings...

No, it's not a mistake. I purposely waited till the 3rd week of January
because you have probably been inundated with New Year's emails and
newsletters, suggesting that it's "that time again, for a resolution."
So
I decided to wait until all the nutrition and fitness hoopla, yes
hoopla, is over, in order to suggest that you simply make some healthier

I ralely liked this blog today! Hoorah for Kristina!Hmmm... well, on youtube, I am kinda like a editor I suppose. I don't know, haha. I take pictures of famous or somewhat known people, or clips of movies or tv shows and mix them together with music and add cool coloring and effects and that's how I make my videos. There is a whole little community that does this on yt. It is very fun and everyone is very nice to one another. The reason I am rambling about this is that I am saying that the videos that I make don't ralely attract a lot of those dumb, hateful comments. Sometimes some people may say, "Oohmehgawd, tis vidoe suxs soooo baaaad!" But basically every vidder who gets those comments ignore them and other commentors just ignore them as well. That's what I try to do. Ok, I don't know why the heck I just told you all this. Felt like rambling about my part on yt. WOOO

not create a healthier, still very tasty Thanksgiving feast by
considering the menu, the ingredients, how you serve and how you pace
the meal?
- Serve
a healthy cup of soup or a delicious salad to start the meal and fill
people up with some healthy-anti-oxidant rich ingredients

Men who drank at least one cup of coffee daily significantly lowered their risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
if you are suffering from insomnia, try going to bed later, but consistently wake up at the same time daily. That may help to re-set your sleeping "clock."

Rina - Oh my!! These photos are great!! I got to admit that I cdouln't decide between which ones I like the best! I absolutely love the focus of the camera angles within photos 6 and 8. However I like them all! I thought that the sceneries used within the photos were very well chosen for the couple. Even Yoshi looks like he was having a great time! I must say that the photographer did a splendid job incorporating all the color contrasts within the photos. Whether in color or black and white, the couples were still naturally shining. Congratulations to Amy and Jimmy!!

Denita Clark - Amy & Archie's pictures are abltluoesy gorgeous! I especially like the photos that we took near the lake.

A number of food manufacturers have joined together to form The National Weight Commitment Foundation in an effort to fight the obesity epidemic among children. Their first effort is a message called "together counts." You can view the very smart message at www.togethercounts.com.

Many "high fiber" foods or foods that advertise fiber may not be the health foods they portray. In fact, many foods that add fiber in, typically add inulin and maltodextrin. These foods do not offer the same fiber benefits like 100% whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Even beans are a great source of fiber. If you do want to supplement...
