Healthy Eating

Sometimes I get so caught up in food I forget to write in our blog. Here is a short article to refresh your eye balls. Every time you turn around it seems like something we love to eat is bad for you. Is it really bad for us or is it the food companies trying to control our diet and make more money. At one time eggs were supposed to be bad for us and now they are a great weight loss food. The Government can't seem to make up their minds about what foods we should and should not eat. Smoked foods are supposed to cause cancer, but all the BBQ places around here are booming. I think a lot of this is all hype to scare you into eating what ever makes them the most money. I all boils down to money and not our health. I say eat what you want but do it in moderation and get some exercise. Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated and flush out toxins. Just some food for thought from The Food Dude. The Dudes Website

Nuwave cooktop

We bought a nuwave induction cooktop to see if it really measures up to all the hype. It was purchased at a pallet store and was missing the pan. After trying a few different pans, the good old fashioned cast iron skillet worked just fine. The instructions say you can use any skillet or pot that has a iron or steel bottom. Use a magnet to be sure it is compatible, but for my money I like cast iron. Check out the video for the results. Nuwave Video
