Portion Control!

Food is amazing and we all need it to live. When we eat, we should be careful about what we eat and also how much we eat. Portion control is a big part of staying healthy, and the reason people are over weight is because they keep eating more when they don't need to. Our bodies need many different types of foods throughout the day, but there is a certain amount that we don't need to go over. A way to cut back on how much you eat and still stay full throughout the day is to eat 6 smaller meals instead of 3 heavy meals.

A meal out!

It can be expensive to go out to dinner, but you should really try to go out once in a while and have a nice meal at at restaurant. There are so many great places with amazing food here in Portland, and a lot are family owned. When you go out for a meal, have a good time and relax. Enjoy the experience and the company of the people you are with.

The most important meal!

A lot of people don't eat breakfast. It might be because they are in a hurry in the morning and feel that it isn't important. Breakfast happens to be the most important meal of the day and it is so beneficial because it gives you the energy you need to get your day started. You don't need to have a heavy meal in the morning, but you should eat something and fuel your system. I love to eat breakfast, sometimes I will even have breakfast food for dinner. If you are in a hurry then take something with you, but I promise you that you will benefit from eating breakfast and you will find yourself with more energy.

Food Experimentation!

So tonight we are going to make a pot roast in the " Slow Cooker." We have not used it yet so it will be interesting. Shelley is preparing the meal and inside the cooker she is putting: pot roast beef, onions, potatoes, beef broth and cream of mushroom soup. It will take 4 hours to cook and we are very excited to see how it turns out. There are many different recipes out there that you can experiment with. Some of them might not turn out exactly how you thought at first, but you will know how to improve them the next time around.
