Thought of the Day= Control you Kitchen, Control your life

In homes full of growing kids or teens who can afford more calories while whining for kid-friendly dishes, or in homes with a hungry, man sitting across the table from you, “bulk up” your dinners sometime with extra sides that you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole. Seriously.

So no more excuses, even if your kids, husband, wife or partner insist on eating mounds of questionable food night and day. Control your kitchen, control your life. Bulk it up without bulking up the numbers on your scale. It makes for happy households and healthy bodies.

Make your dinner a lean protein entrée, along with a choice of whole-grain carb, rice, pasta or potato side, and tons of vegetables. Then you know that you have provided a nutritional meal. If they want to chomp down extra sides or inhale a loaf of unappetizing white bread, have at it!
