Free Cookbooks in PDF format!

Wow, I ran across two free cookbooks today. Remember when trying to eat healthy, look for recipes that are low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium. An example of one to AVOID would be beef stroganoff that has cream cheese, sour cream etc...a healthy alternative would be chili with beans, spices, tomatoes etc... Let me know if you try any of the recipes out!

Favorite Frozen Fruit Treat!

I just wanted to share with everyone my favorite sweet treat. A little background about me...I've always been someone who loves eating ice cream every day, regardless of how cold it is outside. January in Minnesota and you'll still find me eating ice cream. I've discovered Edy's Fruit Bars, and they are amazing. My favorite is strawberry. The tangarine and lime are a bit tart but still good. The strawberry is the best and the sweetest. Trader Joe's has some fruit bars, but they are not quite as good as Edy's. If you've never tried them, it is worth checking them out. Here is the link for the bars.... Edy's fruit bars....YUMMY!!!!
