- Muffins are worse than doughnuts. A chocolate frosted doughnut is 270 calories 3 teaspoons of sugar and 7 grams of fat. A chocolate chip muffin is 610 calorie, 14 teaspoons of sugar and 7 grams of fat
- A serving of nuts or dried fruit is a 1/4 cup. About the size if a golf ball
- Hummus serving size is 2 Tablespoons or the size of a golf ball
- Ice Cream serving size 1/2 cup or equal to 2 golf balls in size. ( I guess Cold Stone love it is over sized)
- Two Tablespoons of Coffee Mate has more Calories than two Tablespoons of half and half
- 200 calories of pasta is 1 cup or about the size of a baseball.
Most social events are centered around food and many of us stress over what should we eat or serve. Cooking should be fun and nutritious. I would like to help make eating an enjoyable and healthy experience for the entire family on a budget. Sometimes small changes can lead to big rewards. I hope to pass on diet tips, nutrition information made easy to understand, quick and easy recipes, and a postive attitude. Life is a journey, enjoy it!
