Food Review: Morningstar Farms Chicken Patties
Although I'm not a full-fledged vegetarian, I do like to eat black-bean burgers, soy milk, and tempeh every once in a while because I like that they are cholesterol free. I never really go for meat alternatives that strive to look, taste, and feel like meat though, but since a good friend recommended Morningstar Farms Chik Patties, I reluctantly agreed to give them a try.

Quinoa Pasta
If you're like me, you're always looking for something new to make for dinner that is tasty and healthy, you should give quinoa pasta a try.
It's made with a blend of quinoa and corn flours, so it's wheat and gluten free, making this pasta much easier on your tummy. Each serving contains 2.5g of fiber and 5g of protein, which is about the same in regular semolina pasta.
Whole Wheat Pita vs. Whole Wheat Bread
When it comes to sandwiches, I have been opting for whole wheat pita these days instead of whole wheat bread.

Gluten Allergies Becoming Increasingly Common

It's estimated that one in every 133 people has celiac disease.

What's the Difference Between Regularity Remedies?
Nobody's likes being irregular. Even if you get your daily quota of 25 to 30 grams of fiber, stress, traveling, and lack of exercise can cause constipation.
If you have issues with regularity, there are many over-the-counter products that can help, but it's tough to know which one will work, which ones are safe to take regularly, and which ones won't cause annoying side effects.
