Everything about bread seems boring! It’s plain, it’s square, and it comes in either white or brown. Hardly inspiring stuff!

So, if your sandwich menu doesn’t extend much beyond PB&J, it’s time to pep things up a little.

Mark Northeast of Funky Lunch had a desire to turn an ordinary lunchtime sandwich into something a bit different. He has certainly succeeded in doing that!

Sure, at first glance it seems like these masterpieces will take ages to create, but many of them won’t take much longer than the time you waste standing in line at Subway.

And, you must admit, these are sure to impress…

Recently I had another question from one of my readers saying she simply cannot get her husband to eat vegetables. Apparently he tells her when she makes them taste good then he’ll eat them! Sounds like someone else I know (my hubby!) :-)

I’ve dealt a little with this subject in the past, and it seems having a dislike for vegetables is a rather common problem.

overweightI’ve had quite a few thoughts running through my head lately about “weight prejudice.”

This is where overweight people are treated differently because of their weight. I’ve even heard overweight people saying that skinny people just don’t want to be around them at all.

The Mediterranean-style of eating has been shown to be extremely healthy, and it’s also one that’s varied and delicious.

In fact, many studies have shown that the closer people follow the Mediterranean-style diet, the less likely they are to die from either heart disease or cancer. Click to Read More »»

Dieting has become so popular that it’s estimated around 70 percent of the female population, and 30 percent of males have followed one at some stage.

The worrying thing is that many people don’t seem too concerned about whether the diet they choose is healthy or not – all that matters is losing a few pounds!

Although diets often produce results in the short term, unfortunately very few can maintain this weight loss for the months and years that are ahead.

Thus the yo-yo cycle of dieting continues, and it’s often to the detriment of your health long-term.

So, why don’t diets work?

#1 Diets are not designed to work!

If everyone could simply lose weight and keep it off, there would be no money in it for the diet companies. Click to Read More »»
