Full Fat, Low Fat, No Fat

Posted by Tawny Weber May 22 2013, 5:30 am in Tawny Weber

I’m doing a totally non-scientific, very casual study.

Are you a full fat, low fat or no fat eater?

I’m a mix.  Some things simply require full fat.  Nuts and seeds, obviously  Butter.  I won’t use anything else.  Oil is hard to make low fat in cooking *g* although there are always substitutes (veggie broth for sautéing, etc).  I don’t use mayo as a rule, but my husband swears that low fat or no fat mayo is the work of evil, so I bow to his taste on that.  I’m cool with low-fat cheese, if it doesn’t have to be melted.  So it’s great sprinkled on tacos or on a sandwich.  Sour cream is one of those things I can’t tell the difference on at all – full fat to no fat, it all tastes wonderfully sour to me  I adore fat-free feta crumbles on my salad, actually a lot more than full fat.

How about you? What are some low fat/no fat recommendations that you love?  How about things you refuse to ditch the fat for?  Are there any absolutes in your pantry?

Club Fasciitis

Posted by Sally Kilpatrick May 17 2013, 12:01 am

What do Albert Pujols, Joakim Noah, and I have in common? It ain’t athletic prowess or the big bucks. Nope. We all have plantar fasciitis. Ever had a pain in your heel and possibly the bottom of your foot, a pain so intense that your knees buckle because your feet won’t support you? Yeah, that’s [...]

Stress Dreams

Posted by Anna Sugden May 15 2013, 4:30 am in Anna Sugden, stress, stress dreams

Are you one of those people who can’t remember their dreams or do you have full, vivid, technicolor dreams? I’m a little of both, in that most nights I don’t remember a lot of what I dream, but I do remember snippets – usually odd stuff, like people out of context or doing things you [...]
