The Taste I Love, and The Nutrition Isn't Half Bad Either...

Sometimes I get worn short on what foods to feed my family. I try to mix it up so that nobody gets bored, but I also like to keep the nutritional value of our meals high. What used to be a battle for 'healthy eating' has become less painful. Finding new ways to provide taste with nutrition has kept my family happy, which makes me happy.

So today I am sharing with you a recipe for nachos I came across that no only taste good, but are still fairly decent for you as well. We made a meal of it, as it is fairly balanced. I can't say that too often about nachos.

And how good was it? Even my 4 year old daughter asked for seconds.

Here is the low down:

The mozzarella stands in for the fatty cheddar, and black bean chips boost fiber and slice the calories. And with a big scoop of black beans and salsa, you get a blast of antioxidants.

• 1 bag black bean chips


• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed


• 1 ½ cup shredded, low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese


• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped


• 1 cup salsa


• ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange the chips in a single layer on a large nonstick baking sheet. Cover evenly with the black beans, then the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese is slightly melted. Remove from oven, spread the chicken evenly over the nachos, and return the nachos to the oven. Bake an additional 10 minutes, or long enough to warm the chicken and brown the cheese. Remove and top with your favorite salsa and the cilantro.

Do You Look Older Than You Really Are?

Some Ideas To Keep You Looking And Feeling Better.

Can you believe it has been seven weeks since my last post? You think I would have fallen off the face of the earth or something! I mean come on, you neglects their blog for that long anyways?!

Well, I guess I will have to give you something good here. And in light of the new year, I suppose I will give you some healthy body related info.

I was recently discussing overall health with a female friend of mine in the modeling industry, and she made for a very interesting conversation. I won't go into great detail, as our conversation lasted about one hour, but I will give you what she called her ten commandments of skin care.

1. Wash your face just enough to remove dirt and makeup, not to leave skin feeling tight.


2. You wouldn't leave the house without brushing your teeth - the same goes for wearing broad-spectrum SPF 15 minimum.


3. You can use regular cream around the eyes (we usually do)


4. Choose a moisturizer with antioxidants that protect skin from the elements.


5. Reapply moisturizer hourly when flying, unless you want to look DOA.


6. Look for an anti-aging cream with retinoids. Yes, they really work.


7. Apply anti-aging or anti-acne ingredients before any other products to keep from blocking their penetration.


8. More isn't always better. A pea-size amount of face cream is enough.


9. Exfoliate skin every week with a gentle scrub.


10. If you want real results, give products up to six months to work.
    

Whether you are man or woman, you can apply these to your life. Yes guys, you are allowed to take care of your skin. Put your ego aside today so you don't look like a catcher's mitt in 20 years. And if for no other reason, the ladies like it when your skin is taken care of. I mean, who wants your sandpaper hands and feet rubbing them in bed? Think about that for a minute guys.....
