Today I made a pledge to the Pound For Pound Challenge. I've been thinking about participating and mentioned last week that I usually don't like these type of commitments. Why now? Last night I watched the season premier of The Biggest Loser, knowing...

Chili on a Snowy Day

Posted by Grace at EatBetterAmerica on January 12, 2009 | 0 comments

Cold and snowy is the only way the weather can be described today. Although it’s really pretty to look at and play in, the driving is treacherous, it seems like the shoveling is never ending and I don’t think my fingers will ever thaw out...

Reining in and cooking more at home these days? Me, too! So here's the challenge: how do you eat healthier while keeping your grocery bill in check? It's all about choices, but I can sum up what I've been doing in 5 words: think; commit; plan; select;...
