Healthy Tip of the Day

Don't forget to drop a piece of fruit into your brown bag or lunch carry-all. It's the go-to healthy bite that will give you energy and nutrition. Reach for a colorful banana, apple, peach, orange or strawberries. They all pack a healthy punch of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C.

The Pop In

Just popping in to check on my blog and say hello to everybody who visited today. The day is still young so hopefully more will visit. As always, thanks so much. So what's up? It's a nice day in the ATL and the forecast calls for the temperatures to rise over the next few days. My mom lives in Arizona and it's blazing hot there with temps reaching 106 on most days.

One thing my mom keeps saying is that the humidity is low so it doesn't feel quite so bad, really. The humidity in Atlanta can make a hot day even more unbearable. For now, spring feels sweet!

My new Contributing writing work is coming along nicely over on the online magazine, OliveCocoMag. I have a new post that went up today titled "Exercise Plan When Working from Home" ~read it here. I'm getting into a nice groove and eager to share my passions in another venue.

By the way, did anyone order takeout for Hump Day dinner tonight? Now that would be cool;-)

Terrific Tuesday Tidbit

Good day and have I got a terrific Tuesday tidbit to share with everyone. Late last week I mentioned a writing opportunity with an online magazine. Well, I was chosen as one of the Summer 2012 contributors for OliveCocoMag. I am thrilled and appreciate the chance to expand my writing on this wonderful website. The mag asked that we write a post for the area you want to cover on the mag. I chose fitness and nutrition which are two of my favorite topics. I submitted the article via email and within hours got a reply that the post was great and was up on the website. I did a 40 yard dash over to check it out;-) You can read my post here. Take a look around OliveCocoMag which features entertainment, fashion, beauty, romance, fitness & nutrition and more. Isn't this tidbit Terrific!

National Banana Bread Day

 

Hello everybody and I know what you're thinking...here she goes with another one of these 'special' days. Yep, it's true but this one has got to be a fave for many of us, right. Just imagine the aroma of this bread coming from the oven today or this weekend.

Don't let those browning bananas go to waste. Try a recipe you already have available or search for one on the internet. Of course, bananas are high in potassium which is a nutrient that's good for the body. Take it to a sweeter level with this bread and a cup of instant coffee or hot chocolate. It's the perfect beginning in the morning or anytime in the day.

Excuse to Eat Pie

In a Yahoo tweet, they mentioned that it's Strawberry Cream Pie Day. If we ever needed an excuse to have a slice of pie, it's today. I read that strawberries are a wonderful antioxidant which is a healthy nutrient we all need. I don't know if strawberries are still in season in some parts, but you can improvise and use frozen in case you decide to make this pie. It will make for a sweet dessert after dinner tonight...just saying.
