Fiesta Recipes—Healthy recipes to spice up your life!
Enjoy the spicy taste of South-of-the-border foods–only healthier! These great recipes are a fun way to add variety to your meal plan. Not only are these foods fun and easy to prepare, but spicy cooking can have some unexpected health benefits. No longer is “hot spicy food” blamed for ulcers and other gastric ills. In fact, the opposite seems to be true.
If you thought your healthy diet was supposed to be boring, try spicing up your cuisine. Whether you’re on a low-fat or heart-healthy diet, and even if you have diabetes, you can still add some spice to your life!
Carb Counter—A pocket guide to carbohydrate choices
Carbohydrates (carbs) are the body’s preferred source of energy. Consistent intake of food containing carbs is required to fuel the brain and other organs. Without a steady intake of carbs, the body will break down muscle tissue for energy. Learning how to manage your carbohydrate intake will help you control your blood sugar, your weight, and will provide your body with important nutrients.
