| Radio Critics on Facebook Comments |

As I was driving to work this past Friday morning in beautiful Tallahassee Florida, I was listening to a conversation among DJ's who all agreed that people who post their daily workout stats on Facebook and Twitter are very annoying. The DJ's took several phone calls from friends...and probably a few foe's....who also agreed these people who "bragg" about how far they ran or how much weight they lifted are highlly annoying. My first thought was..."Well, I'm sure glad I don't post my workouts!!" I sure don't want to offend anyone with my exercise routine!! The more I thought about it though, the more I realized the people who are angry or annoyed or offended with these comments probably aren't where they need to be health wise. If they were, they would understand how great a workout makes the mind and body feel. They would feel the same joy that I feel whenever I read a post about someone who took the time to get in their workout because that's one more person out there who has the power to inspire other people to look and feel better. That's one more person out there who is not draining this great country with preventable poor health. Tags: radio | Tallahassee | florida | poor health | facebook | twitter Hits: 10 | Read more... |

This dish embodies the alluring qualities you'd expect from rösti—shredded potatoes that are cooked until browned and crisp on the edges. Serve with a colorful mixed greens salad. Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 piece) Ingredients
Preparation1. Preheat oven to 400°. 2. Combine yogurt and flour in a large bowl, stirring well. Add turnip, Gruyère cheese, butter, chives, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and potatoes to yogurt mixture.

With the back of a spoon, make 8 indentations in top of potato mixture. Crack 1 egg into each of 8 indentations. Return dish to oven. Bake at 400° for 8 minutes or until egg whites are firm and yolks barely move when pan is touched. Cut into 8 pieces. Garnish with additional chives and black pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.

Creamy goat cheese crowns a refreshingly bracing salad. Because the asparagus is shaved, it does not have to be cooked. Thick asparagus spears work best when it comes to making ribbons like these. Ingredients
PreparationHold each asparagus spear by the tip end. Shave asparagus into ribbons with a vegetable peeler to measure 3 cups. Reserve asparagus tips for another use. Combine asparagus and tomatoes in a medium bowl. Combine chives and next 6 ingredients (through 1/4 teaspoon salt), stirring with a whisk. Drizzle over the asparagus mixture, tossing gently to coat. Top with goat cheese. Nutritional InformationYield: 8 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup)

We like to serve these Fish Tacos with Cabbage Slaw in the sturdy texture of corn tortillas, but you can use flour tortillas. Since the recipe makes more slaw than necessary for the tacos, serve the extra on the side or invite some friends over for a summer feast in beautiful Tallahassee, Florida. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 tacos and about 1 cup cabbage mixture) Ingredients
PreparationCombine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Add juice, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss well to combine. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish evenly with chili powder and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add fish to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from heat, and cut fish into bite-sized pieces. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spoon about 1/4 cup cabbage mixture down the center of each tortilla. Divide fish evenly among tortillas; fold in half. Serve tacos with remaining cabbage mixture. Nutritional Information

| Cool Fitness Gadgets and Powerful Papaya |
| 2010.05.24 10:48:36 | |
Papaya Power Health Magazine - May 2010Pick this tropical fruit to smooth your skin, get rid of bloating, and help sinus problems. 1. Flat Belly Food: ward off that bloated feeling by eating a slice of papaya for dessert. Papain, the main enzyme in papaya, is an ace at breaking down fiber, which can cause gas if not digested well, says Maoshing Ni, Ph.D., who practices traditional Chinese medicine and is the author of Secrets of Self-Healing.
2. Sinus Saver: want to ease the symptoms of chronic sinusitis? Make papaya a staple in your fruit salads. Bromelian, an enzyme in papaya, can reduce mucus and inflammation, according to a German study.
3. Skin Brightener: papaya's fruit acids and protein dissolving enzymes remove dead skin cells and even out skin discoloration. Get a glowing complexion using this gentle exfoliating treatment, from Stephanie Tourles, author of Organic Body Care Recipes: Extact 1 tbsp papaya juice by mashing a peeled slice with a spoon and straining the pulp. Soak up juice with a cotton ball, and apply to face, throat, and decolletage. Wait 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water.
4. Bone Strengthener: papaya is a sweet way to improve your bone health. It contains folate, a B-vitamin that can help prevent osteoporosis-related bone fractures. Just add this delish smoothie to your diet: Blend 1 cup fat-free milk, 1/4 of a peeled papaya, 1/2 cup blueberries, and 1/2 tbsp honey. Drink Up!
SWEET & LOW: one cup of papaya has just 55 calories!

Lots of porcini, shiitake, and cremini mushrooms are smothered in a creamy sauce for this tasty entrée. The white sauce, or béchamel, for the lasagna is thinner than traditional ones. It will just coat the back of a wooden spoon, but it thickens and soaks into the noodles as the lasagna bakes.
To prepare filling, combine water and porcini in a small bowl; let stand 30 minutes. Drain porcini through a sieve over a bowl, squeezing porcini to extract liquid. Reserve 1 1/2 cups liquid; discard remaining liquid. Rinse porcini, and drain. Chop coarsely; set aside. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add shiitake mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sauté 5 minutes or until mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown. Stir in porcini, wine, and soy sauce. Cook 4 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates, stirring frequently. Stir in parsley and rosemary. Add the reserved porcini liquid; bring to a simmer. Cook until liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in 1/4 teaspoon pepper. To prepare béchamel, place milk in a 4-cup glass measure. Microwave at HIGH 3 minutes or until hot, stirring after 2 minutes. Melt butter in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, stirring with a whisk, and cook 1 minute or until bubbly, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly with a whisk. Bring to a simmer; cook over low heat 8 minutes or until sauce slightly thickens, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg. Preheat oven to 350°. Spread 1/2 cup béchamel in bottom of an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange 3 noodles over béchamel; top with 1/2 cup béchamel. Top with 1 cup mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layers three times (dish will be very full). Cover with foil; place baking dish on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover lasagna; bake an additional 15 minutes or until cheese melts. Tags: low calorie | vegetarian | cooking light | lasagna | healthy recipe | mushroom Hits: 60 | Read more... |

| Motivation To Eat Better |
| 2010.03.07 17:31:09 | |

I got my Fitness Tip of the Week from March 2010's Women's Health magazine in an article called the The Rainbow Connection. Eating better is always on my mind. I know that my body would perform better now if I made better food choices and my quality of life as I grow older would also be better, especially if I were to ward of cancer, disease and the natural aging process just from the foods I eat. So this article on eating an array of colorful foods spoke to me and I've set a goal for myself to eat each color in the rainbow everyday! Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white!

There's no excuse for not being in the best shape of our lives now.
