That is actually a true statement. 1/3 - 1/2 bottle of wine a day (depending on alcohol content, your weight, etc) will reduce the chance of diabetes by 58%. Beer will also do the same but only dark color beers (no lagers!). Alcohol is also great after a workout because it loosens your muscles and gives you a boost of energy. Beer also happens to go great with peanuts, which is a great source of protein that's needed after a workout. Put that in your granola pipe n smoke it.
On that note, I really like the Baked Utz chips. Lowes Foods has a few flavors: BBQ, Cheddar and Sour Cream, and Sour Cream and Onion. Now, if I could just get a damn bowl and control my portions with these, I'd be all set.
One of my favs, as well...except I put just a thin layer of Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmellow Creme on it for my own version of a fluffernutter. Of course, you would think that having a thin, half-serving spread of each on a small bagel wouldn't be that bad, but I've compared that to one Krispy Kreme doughnut and they are actually pretty close...BUT with one major difference. The sodium content is considerably lower with the doughnut. The KK doughnut has 90 mg of sodium compared to 375 to my fluffernutter fav. There really is waaaay too much sodium in our foods nowadays. Speaking of Krispy Kreme, they are having a charity race for the UNC Children's Hospital in Raleigh next month. Go to www.krispykremechallenge.com and see the details. Basically for $17 you participate in a run (or walk) from the NCSU Belltower to the nearby KK store. You grab a dozen doughnuts and run back. The "Challenge" is to do the race the quickest, eat all the doughnuts and keep them down. Those who just want to casually participate are not required to run, eat all or any doughnuts and get a T-shirt. The $17 even includes your $10 donation.
just got these yesterday and they're really good! :hurray: Oats 'N Dark Chocolate granola bars, by Nature Valley (2 bars=190 cal)
And it's better to have a pint of Guiness than Budweiser or another of my personal favorites Michelob Amber Bock or Corona (personal summer time favorite). http://www.realbeer.com/edu/health/calories.php http://www.shapefit.com/beer.html
:hurray:I love these too! I ran out of my huge BJ's supply and did find them in the Walmart on 70 but you don't get many in a package. My daughters love these too!

My new healthy snack addiction is Garden Valley Veggie Wheat Thins Toasted Chips. OMG. They are good! 12 chips = 130 calories.
I'm not sure just how healthy it is, but someone on here recommended Nutella to me awhile back and I finally bought some. It is quite yummy. I can't remember who it was (sorry), but thanks. It breaks the boredom of peanut butter ever so often. And yes, those strawberry Fruit Crips are delightful. Of course, Nabisco has had something similar with the Newton brand name. Kelloggs' product is better though. I just don't get carried away with them.
I'll have to try that. Usually, I spread it on a mini bagel. I've always wanted to go to Germany. My dad served with the 3rd Armored Division in Germany years ago and always speaks fondly of those days.
Spread some butter on the roll first before you spread the Nutella on it. Yeah,the good ole days -that's where I met my husband,he was stationed in the same city as Elvis,although quite a few years later Wasn't the 3rd. stationed in Frankfurt and also known as Spearhead?
