This healthy Greek Yogurt and Tahini Dip will be welcome on a buffet table loaded with rich holiday foods! Everyone who's trying to make it through December without gaining ten pounds, raise your hand.  (Kalyn has both hands raised.)  Every year I think about the dilemma of joining in holiday celebrations without overdoing it on sweets and other rich holiday foods.  There's no easy answer,  but having something healthy to nibble on among the more indulgent choices can really help, and that's where this Greek Yogurt and Tahini Dip for Tomatoes and Cucumbers comes in.

This Marinated Tomato Salad with Parsley and Marjoram Dressing is one of the best reasons I've found to grow Marjoram! (For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites, and I've been making this Marinated Tomato Salad every year since 2008, which is when my sister Sandee gave me the recipe.  And if you're not growing marjoram, this recipe is a good reason to plant some!) When my sister Sandee heard I was growing marjoram in my new herb beds, she gave me this recipe for marinated tomato salad, from a compilation of recipes by her neighbors appropriately called Our Neighborhood Cookbook. That was in June, before Utah had the hottest summer in years and my heirloom tomatoes got stubborn and refused to ripen. Last weekend I had yellow heirloom tomatoes at last, so I made the salad and after one taste I understood why my sister is in love with this recipe. If you have fresh garden tomatoes, make this right away!  And summ...

Yesterday at Starbucks: "I just ordered a bottle of probiotics!" In view of the fact that all the feedback I got in response to the re-installment of the Short News was positive, I guess you wont mind if I use the chance and bundle the two soon-to-be-published weight loss studies from the British Journal of Nutrition into a Weight Loss Supplement Mini-Special of the SuppVersity Short News . If you were actually sitting next to you, I would probably ask you, whether youd prefer the good, or the bad news, first!? Well, I guess Ill start with the bad one, then: Green tea sucked - again!

We all know water is good for us.  It helps maintain weight, it’s great for our skin, and it’s great for pretty much every organ in our bodies.  Sometimes though it is so hard to get enough of the good ol’ H2O! You need to aim to consume half your body weight in ounces, so if you weigh 130 pounds you should aim to drink about 65 ounces a day, which can be rough.  Try these tips to help you guzzle more of the good stuff every day!   1. Buy that cute water bottle or straw cup you have been eyeing. If you have water with you, you will drink more.  I keep a water bottle in my purse, currently I love the Contigo straw bottles, and I also pack a straw cup as well.  I usually leave my Starbuck’s straw cup in my car and drink as I run errands.  If I am going to the mall I put my trusty cup in the cup holder of my stroller and aim to finish it before I finish my shopping.  It’s fast and easy to just drink as we walk around.   Keeping the wat...

Raw fruits, berries and vegetables can mitigate bad genes Follow Foods For Long Life on FACEBOOK ! The Power of Food      One of my strongest beliefs about food appears in my quote on the right hand side of this page.      " Health, excellent or ill, is passed to our children not just through our genes but primarily through our recipes".      People often live in fear of getting a disease that their parents have. I know so many people who had one or more parents die from a heart attack, or some other disease, and they are unconsciously waiting for the same thing to happen to them. You dont have to do that. You can take control of your destiny and fight back with a healthful diet.       Most of the illnesses you fear that your parents are passing to you (and the ones their parents gave to them) were passed in the form of dietary traditions. If you ever get a heart attack, it could be from Moms 3 meat stromboli recipe that ...
