Food Review: Earth Balance Cream Cheese Spread
When it comes to buttering my bread or baking, I'm a huge fan of Earth Balance natural margarine. It's cholesterol free, low in saturated fat, and dairy free. I just discovered that Earth Balance makes Cream Cheese.
Margarine War: Earth Balance vs. Smart Balance
As if the war between butter and margarine weren't enough to think about, now I have to choose between kinds of margarine. Have you ever wondered what the difference is between these two? They're both organic, dairy free, and made without hydrogenated oils, but what else sets them apart besides their names?
Coconut Cream Cake - The Lesser Evil
I am definitely of two minds when it comes to baking "lite" desserts. While I am all for dessert it better be worth it. Plus, I fear that if a dessert is "lite" I just might think I can over indulge.
Earth Balance: A Natural Margarine
Who doesn't love the taste of melted butter on a freshly baked muffin? Although that creamy taste is unforgettable, we all know that butter isn't exactly healthy for us because it contains artery-clogging saturated fat and cholesterol.
Margarine is in no way a better option because most of them are made with hydrogenated oils that are high in trans fat.

Healthy Recipe: Apple Pear Oatmeal Crisp
It's harvest time for apples and pears, and nothing says Autumn like warm crisp featuring both Fall fruits. Here is a variation of a recipe from RecipeZaar.

Bagel Breakfast: Which Spread Should You Choose?
Bagels have gotten a bad reputation for being a dieter's nightmare, since one plain bagel contains 260 calories and 56 grams of carbs. But I believe a carb-free diet isn't the healthiest way to drop pounds and maintain a healthy weight, so I think it's more than OK to enjoy a warm, toasted bagel every so often. They're not all as unhealthy as everyone thinks, especially if you choose one made with whole wheat flour, whole grains, or seeds.
Healthy Recipe: Soy Nut Butter Muddy Buddies
If you're a huge peanut butter lover, then you're going to love this satisfyingly crunchy snack.

This recipe comes from an old friend, and it's a healthier variation of the Muddy Buddies recipe you can find on a box of Rice Chex cereal.
Fittingly Green: Work Out Outside For Earth Day
Today is Earth Day, so celebrate with an outdoor workout. Yes you can run and walk outside, but you can also strength train while doing so. All you need is an empty park bench and a curb to strength train your entire body while on the move in the outdoors.
Healthy Substitutions For Baking
I really enjoy baking and find the weekends are a great time to make sweet things with my sweet things. My girls love baking too. When making sweet treats, I do try to substitute with healthy ingredients when I think I will not be sacrificing the texture and flavor too much.
