Get Fit and Healthy

The right way to do it

Right on Route 71 in Arkansas on the way to Mt Magazine, one can find a truck stop restaurant that will give the taste palette end. Like other places along the roadways of America, this is a place where everyone knows good eats are likely to come in if they discover the many trucks in the parking lot outside. Pass along the Highway in Prescott, Arkansas and sidle up with the truckers for eating that is pure joy.

It has long been said by people who drive around the country that truck stops are the places people should stop at and eat. That’s because truckers, who travel a lot, are likely particular folk because they have to terminate and eat in different places. They have learned where to go, and the lineup of trucks in front of a restaurant may be indication that the food inside is good.

Don’t worry about the look inside; often the truck stops are connected with small convenience stores or standalones that are allotment of that old-fashioned service and presentation. The menu may be typed on an old Smith Corona or a computer ten years old, but it’s readable; and that’s what counts. Usually the menu is wrapped around with plastic with little or no special images. Nothing special in the print, just splendid, old-fashioned menu reading that tells you about safe old-fashioned food.

Truckers sit in small and large groups, bearded, muscular, and enjoying the ambience of simplicity and down home kindly talk. Those who enter are apt to hear the vernacular of whatever part of the country the truck finish may be in. So you may see beer, depending on the location of the truck stop, or hear a swear word or two, but not much. There is still that simple way fellows like truckers have that says greet ladies with courtesy, beget doors open and watch the kiddies to see that they don’t stumble when they run across the floor. On a recent trip, my husband I found the food at the truck stop on Route 71 well worth the wait and the understated style and interior architecture. We ordered small salads with Reuben sandwiches on rye with homemade soup, and were satisfied the rest of the day, having eaten at 2:00 pm. The meal was that substantial.

Truck stops have been part of American legend, with almost the same interesting patterns and ideas as the old Burma Shave signs along the road with witty sayings. Those Burma Shave signs may be gone, but truck stops and those good eats linger. This may be one of the most flavored representation of culture combined with eats that represents the United States and should be part of the stop for anyone on the road.

My recommendation is that truck stop we made in Prescott, Texas on 71 for some of the best food in the country.

  • Picnic recipes
  • Easy to go recipes
  • Cut calories


=”article_text”>

When I contemplate of picnics, I judge of intimate settings, with a small group of people. So naturally, in my head, it makes sense to have smaller portioned snacks, instead of rotund blown fried chicken, mashed potatoes, Cole slaw… you get my drift. Here are Six great Low Calorie Picnic ideas, and they’re probably less messy too.

1) Quick and Easy – Lunch Meat Sandwiches & Pickles

This one is basically a no brainier. It’s snappy, it’s easy, and if you create the right choices, healthy. Now, go grab your cooler, or whatever your packing you picnic food in:

Find a loaf of low-calorie whole wheat bread – Wheat bread is healthier for you than white bread. It’s more nutritional, has more vitamins, and it is high in fiber.

Grab a pound of lean turkey breast lunch meat – Going with a lean white meat, will cut your calories and stout intake enormously.

Grab “toppings” – Get some tomatoes, lettuce, or whatever raw veggie type toppings you want on your sandwich.

Skip the cheese OR skip the condiments - Cheese is high in fat, and can be hefty in calories. Condiments are deceiving, the label says 20 or 30 calories per serving. Those servings are table-spoons! Besides that most people use Mayo, which is extremely high in fat.

Grab a jar of pickles – Pickles are crude in calories and go great with sandwiches. They’ll beget a substantial “side dish”.

Extra Tips for this meal: Add herbs or spices to your sandwich for extra flavor. Only attach the condiment of your choice, on one side of the sandwich.

2) Fruit Lover Combo.

This is pretty easy. It doesn’t hurt that fruit tastes good, and is good for you. Now, grab some kind of serving dish, like a platter-ish type tray or a bowl. You’ll probably want to keep this dish cool, so throw it in a cooler as well. Now for the goods…

- I’ve selected this particular fruits based on they’re lower calorie contents.. feel free to substitute

Cherries
Cantaloupe
Cranberries
Grapes
Peaches
Plums
Strawberries
Apricots
Watermelon

- Cut up individual fruits (if necessary), into cup serving sizes. (Adjust for amount of people).
- Now neatly display these fruits on that platter-ish type tray.
- Grab some fat free Wintry Whip, (which is 15 calories per 2 tablespoons) and place it in the middle of your tray.

Now you’re ready to go! Eat the fruit raw or take a dip in the cool whip for extra flavor. This one is all up to you.

Extra Tips for this meal – To compose your fruit sweeter, exercise an artificial sweetener like Splenda or Sweet ‘N Obscene.

3) Strawberry Short Top

This one is more of a desert type dish, and actually would work will with the Fruit Lovers Combo.

Grab some strawberries – Cut up as many as these ‘lil guys as you’d like, and throw them into a bowl.
Grab the artificial sweetener - Sweeten these babies up to your liking. *Remember by using artificial sweeteners you’re saving on your calorie intake.
Get some Corpulent Free Angle food cake - Nick the cake into circular sizes, about the size of a CD or less. Try to keep the thickness a little less than an inch.
Grab the Fat Free Cool Whip! – This is going to be, literally, the icing on the cake.

Now – Inside the serving dish of your liking. Put the Angel Food Cake at the bottom. Scoop out those strawberries, throw them on top of the cake, and bust out that cool whip for a nice cramped topping of extra ‘goodness’.

Extra Tips for this meal – Adding a exiguous bit of vanilla may help add flavor. After adding sweetener to the strawberries, setting them inside the frig to absorb the sweetness may intensify flavor as well.

4) Veggies and Tuna Salad

Grab you favorite veggies and put together this easy picnic meal. Here’s a list of some lower calorie picks.

- Zucchinis
- Tomatoes
- Carrots
- Celery
- Cucumbers

- Dip – Instead of buying veggie dip, go with a fat-free ranch salad dressing.

Cut up these guys however you like, and effect them on a some kind of serving tray.

Now to prepare the Tuna Salad, the low-cal way:

- Make positive you get the Tuna that comes in water, not oil.
- Skip the Mayo or miracle whip! You won’t need it.
- Instead get the enjoy, and add just a little more than usual for extra flavor.
- Add some pepper, garlic, or whatever else you like.
- If you use boiled eggs, use only the whites.

Now mix it together, grab the whole wheat bread, and start munching.

5) Veggie Wrap

- Grab your current veggies (refer to number 4)
- Finely prick them up and mix them together
- Grab a skillet, spray it with PAM (no calories), turn on the stove, and throw in the veggies
- Cook for a short amount of time. Add whatever spices you like.
- Keep the veggies in something with a lid. This will help them ’steam’ while you get to your picnic destination.
- Grab a low-fat, low-carb tortilla wrap.
- Spot veggies in the wrap, fold, and consume.

6) Wine and Cheese

Here is one for all of your romantic picnics.

- Grab a dry white wine. (Most dry White Wines are under 100 calories per glass).
- Get some fat-free Feta cheese. (Feta cheese should go well with almost any dry wine you choose).

You may substitute to your liking. Remember cheese is naturally high in fat, by going fat-free you are cutting many calories. Also, be careful what wines you substitute here. Some wines can put you around 140 calories.

*If you add crackers to this, go whole grain, reduced fat.

Drink, Eat, and Enjoy!

No one ever promised that deciding on the GPS accessories that are best suited for you would be easy. If shopping for these accessories represents uncharted waters for you, then a good way to proceed would be to apply brakes.

One simple and powerful piece of advice is to take your time and do your research well. You'll decrease the risk of disappointment if you follow some common sense precautions. In this article we look at a few of the most popular GPS accessories on the market.

Carrying cases? They seem to multiply like bunny rabbits – a ton of them on the market. The first decision is whether or not you prefer the soft shell variety or the hard shell cases. If you a rat who likes to stash things, you can find them with extra pocket spaces. The case design you choose really should be based on what your personal needs are. Will you be traveling a lot? You can find cases that are better suited for someone who travels. You know when you're traveling you don't want to be looking for things, and you've forgotten where you packed something. For the less frequent traveller, then one of the simpler designs with less features will be more appropriate.

As for carrying cases, the Garmin 4.3-Inch seems to be a winner, too. Newegg and Amazon report excellent sales volume of this particular case. Accidents happen, and you don't want your nice GPS to get scratches in it or even worse – a dent. Always avoid doing anything that will mechanically shock your GPS unit. So it's not something like a fashion thing to use a carrying case, they serve a good function which is to take care of your unit.

In the carry case department, there's the Garmin 010-10231-01 Carrying Case (Deluxe) which can be easily seen at Newegg's website. The Garmin case sure looks a lot like a military style duffle bag which we found kind of interesting. As we write this the retail price is a tad under which seems reasonable.

The bag is big enough for the GPS system, power cords and mounting devices (portable or otherwise). It is a great way to keep all of your GPS accessories together. You won't have any issues with finding what you need if you're driving with one hand and fumbling around with the other. A shortage of selection and variety for GPS accessories is one thing you'll never have to worry about. How much money do you want to sink into accessories? How and where will you be using your GPS? Those are the questions you need to answer and then proceed from that point. You can make the best selection without overspending by getting smart about your GPS and available accessories. Our intent was to help clear the air a little bit, and to that end we hope we were successful. No matter what though, do have fun with your GPS.

And, who hasn’t had to choose among dozens of drinks on the market today that promise the moon for young athletes? Making an informed decision on a healthy drink option for kids is not that easy, given the hundreds of beverage products lining the grocery store shelves today.

Kids’ Sugary Demands Can Overwhelm Families

All too often, boys, girls, ‘tweens and teens opt for soda and other sugary drinks, despite the fact that high sugar drinks and fast foods have been found to contribute to childhood obesity and other health problems down the line. All too often, your kids grab whatever’s handy, like juice boxes, and items that may not be the most healthy option for your children or adolescents. Kids reach for sports drinks like Gatorade or energy drinks like Red Bull, Rock Star or Monster which are simply not formulated for growing boys and girls.

Parents and educators today have to work even harder to fend off the onslaught from national advertisers who want kids across America to buy their sugary products and caffeine-loaded, energy drinks. Parents, coaches and educators need to educate themselves and kids on these beverage products and what to drink as healthy alternatives. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) can help. In its 21 Healthy New Year’s Resolutions For Kids, AAP recommends that kids 13 and older “eat at least one fruit and vegetable each day, and limit the amount of soda” consumed each day.

Healthy Beverage Options for Kids Today

Second, water contains no empty calories, fat or sugars which can undo the health benefits of other drinks. Third, it’s easily available, at least here in the United States. How to serve it? In a reusable water bottle. Want to add some flavor? Do it yourself. One squeeze from a original lemon or lime adds lots of flavor with none of the sugar. Sure to become a family favorite.

Orange Juice. There’s nothing like fresh-squeezed orange juice for your kids. The best oranges for fresh-squeezed orange juice? Try Navel, Valencia or Murcia oranges for best results.

This may reduce the risk of osteoporosis over the lifespan. Milk consumption is particularly important to bone health during childhood and adolescence, when bone mass is being built. Finally, milk is loaded with vitamins and nutrients that contribute to overall health and well-being. For added flavor, add fruit, vanilla, and a miniature amount of crushed ice and blend.

Yogurt. Beverages made from yogurt are great for your kids and family. These provide the same nutritional benefits of yogurt in a drinkable perform but have the consistency of a milk shake which may be more palatable to your children. Yogurt drinks are super rich in protein and calcium, and boost immunity. With yogurt, you can get creative at home by making smoothies and more. Just add your favorite fruit, some crushed ice and blend. Yogurt drinks are healthy alternatives and super delectable for youngsters and adults alike.

So maybe the first thing that comes to mind when you say Disney isn’t food but it should be! Did you know that on Disney property alone there are over 250 restaurants and that doesn’t include all the quick stop locations located inside the parks. Disney is a diner’s paradise! The best thing about Disney dining isn’t unprejudiced the food however; it’s also an experience, with each and every restaurant having its own theme. You’ll find everything from a Sci -Fi diner that’s a blast from the past to a hip and trendy spot serving New Africa cuisine. Disney has so much to offer in the plot of dining experiences that it would take you almost a year to eat at every possible location!

After a lot of plan I’ve put together my picks (and I am an expert as a Itinerary Planner for WDW this is my job!) for the best places to eat and experience at Disney, many of these restaurants are not located inside a theme park and therefore do not require admission but they all require a priority seating arrangement which can be made by calling (407)-WDW-DINE. So let’s obtain started….

# 1 My favorite is The Whispering Canyon Cafe located inside the Wilderness Lodge Resort.

In this rowdy, family-style restaurant right out of the Old West, you can open your morning off with a bang-up breakfast of such favorites as buttermilk pancakes or good old-fashioned food with fixin’s to satisfy any cowboy or cowgirl in the family.

Later in the day, bring your posse by for lunch or dinner when they’re serving up burgers, meatloaf, roast chicken or they’re famous Canyon Skillet which includes pulled pork and ribs, chicken,baked beans, corn bread, mashed potatoes and of course corn on the cob! The café also serves a vegetarian enchilada, too! There’s plenty to go around and something for everyone!

But it can get loud and rowdy here but the happenings and going-ons are all part of the experience and the magic! Jump on a hobby horse or join the story-telling, games and sing-alongs in this raucous, meal-time rodeo. Beware though; the servers are full of pranks and practical jokes. Ask for ketchup and you might earn more than you bargained for! Laughs are legendary here, so occupy a load off and get ready for fun.

# 2 A truly magical dining experience can be found at Cinderella’s Royal Table located inside the Magic Kingdom.

You’ll get the royal treatment here at this private location that’s tucked away inside Cinderella Castle. The dining hall is bulky of bright fairytale details like high archways, leaded windows, grand light fixtures, coats of arms and medieval flags.

All meals end happily ever after here; with scenic views of Fantasyland, Lords and Ladies alike will sit wide -eyed at the all-you-care-to-eat breakfast and prix fixe lunch and Signature Dining dinner as they hobnob with Disney royalty.

At the Once Upon a Time Breakfast you’ll join Cinderella and her Royal Friends for the most important meal of the day at this all-you-care-to-eat feast.

For the Fairytale Lunch you’ll rub elbows with Disney’s royal elite – of course I’m talking about the Princesses!

After dark you can dine amid Gothic splendor while Guests’ celebrate special occasions at the Dreams Come Fair Dinner. Whichincludes one complimentary professional Imaging Package per group of 4 paying Guests, 2 packages for groups of 5 to 8 Guests, and 3 packages for groups of 9 to 12 Guests?

You don’t need to be a kid to enjoy this one of a kind restaurant but you do need to follow this important advice: This is the hottest spot on Disney property and seating is limited. The spot books 90 days in advance sells out within 10 minutes each day. So if you are interested in a priority seating here you need to be on the phone calling WDW-DINE no later then 7:50am EST as phone calls are taken starting at 8:00am.

If you’re looking for the perfect location for a romantic proposal or to celebrate some other special event. Magical Proposal Packages include an all inclusive dinner at Cinderella’s Royal Table featuring a specially created Chocolate Slipper Dessert, an engraved Glass Slipper in which the ring is presented, champagne flutes and more. You can call (407) 824-4477 or email wdw.crt.special.events@disney.com for pricing, details and proposal arrangements. This magical moment does require at least 7 days notice.

# 3 1900 Park Fare located in Disney’s Sizable Floridian Resort & Spa offers breakfast and dinner buffets with American-style cuisine and menu selections that change frequently. Both buffets are hosted by popular Disney Characters who are always delighted to pose for photos or sign an autograph. Inside the large dining room, the décor is drawn from whimsical Victorian seaside resorts. The main feature of the room is a fancifully designed fairground organ fondly referred to as Big Bertha, who provides musical accompaniment to meals with her multitude of instruments that include pipes, drums, a xylophone and castanets.

This beautiful restaurant is home to the Supercalifragilistic Breakfast where you’ll dine in Turn of the Century flare. Mary Poppins, Alice, The Mad Hatter and other Wonderland friends join in on the festivities! This all – you-can-eat buffet offers favorites like Mickey -Shaped waffles in addition to their distinguished omelet station where you can build your own concoctions.

Lunch is not served at this location but Alice and her friends return in the afternoon for the Wonderland Tea Party. Children ages 4-12 join Alice for an hour of story-telling, games, sing-a-longs and cupcakes! And let’s not forget tea to sip on (which tastes like fruit juice. How curious.) Pint-sized party goers “finger paint” designs and add decorations to the tops of their cupcakes and then, the best part, they eat the cakes! How sweet is that?

In the evening this enchanting restaurant is home to Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner. Join Cinderella, Prince Charming and other Storybook Characters for a bountiful buffet fit for a princess! Entrees and other offering are subject to change without notice but may include such delectibles as Salmon or carved Beef. It’s the perfect ending to a magical day!

# 4 The Hollywood Brown Derby at Disney’s Hollywood Studios isopen for lunch and dinner and serves contemporary American cuisine along with seasonal specialties that include seafood, steak and poultry selections.

The fact that the upscale atmosphere brings you back to the Golden Age of Hollywood is no coincidence. That’s because this restaurant is an authentic replica of the famous Brown Derby, a longstanding Hollywood landmark and haunt for Tinseltown’s biggest and brightest personalities.

“Meet me at The Derby!” could often be heard crossing the lips of celebrities. Now you can say it, too, and join the glamorous company.

The Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant redefines the concept of dining with the stars. The warm wood-paneled walls of this gourmet restaurant are adorned with caricatures of famous faces. The tradition of capturing the likenesses of luminaries began in the unusual Brown Derby restaurant.

Other legacies carried over to this location can be found on the menu with the signature dishes. The famous Brown Derby Cobb salad follows the recipe created by Bob Cobb, the owner of the historic California Brown Derby. Another Brown Derby new is the light grapefruit cake with cream cheese icing.

For an enhanced dining experience, request wine pairings with your meal of course for Guests 21 or older. The extensive wine list also offers bottle or wines by the glass. Classic cocktails are poured table side here as well.

When making reservations make sure to ask about the Fantasmic! Dinner Package to receive priority seating during this spectacular nighttime show. Study up-close the courageous struggle of Mickey, as he faces Disney villains in this lavish spectacle sure to thrill the whole family.

My # 5 choice is the Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort,a dinner restaurant boasting high-grade steaks, succulent seafood, free-range chicken and juicy lamb dishes. The menu is rounded out with innovative children’s choices for a satisfying family dining experience.

A New England theme is the backdrop for this classic steakhouse where you can discover seasonal flavors every time you dine! Serving the best in quality, aged, grain-fed beef from the launch kitchen that features a butchering room where the steaks are hand-cut, the chef has paired unique accompaniments with each entrée, as well as a wide selection of wines from both new- and old-world regions on the award-winning list.

And since this is Disney the children’s menu sports finger-licking grilled chicken strips, baked fish, pasta and even a kid sized grilled sirloin steak.

Let the handsome dessert tray tempt you with crème brulee with rolled chocolate and original berries or seasonally inspired desserts.

Watch chefs prepare your meal in the open kitchen as you relax in leather seats amongst gleaming brass and polished woodwork beneath knotty-pine beams. This restaurant is a top-deck experience for the entire family!

# 6 The Rainforest Cafe’ which is located at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

This accepted themed brings adventure to your table serving up outstanding American cuisine that includes luscious salads, pasta, sandwiches, seafood, burgers and poultry dishes, as well as a variety of vegetarian selections. While you dine animated animals recite facts about the rainforest as the sky claps with the articulate of simulated thunder and sudden rainstorms. (Don’t worry—you won’t accumulate wet!) Lush vegetation, banyan trees, waterfalls, trumpeting elephants and chest-pounding gorillas round out the rich jungle ambiance. You actually get the feeling of dining in the middle of the rainforest!

Top off your dining safari with a signature desert such as the Journey’s Waste Sparkling Volcano, a chocolate brownie tower topped with ice cream, whipped cream and caramel and chocolate sauces—it’s erupting with sweet goodness! And don’t forget to visit the large themed gift shop where you’re sure to gather a fun souvenir for yourself or a friend.

Tip: This is one of two locations at Walt Disney World; the other is located in the Downtown Disney area.

# 7 The 50’s Prime Time Café serves classic American comfort food in a totally retro TV-themed setting. The restaurant sits across from Echo Lake in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Be welcomed into Mom’s family and feel at home in her kitchenette. But Mom expects you to mind your manners, so don’t be surprised if she tells you to retain your elbows off the table and to eat your vegetables! It’s all part of the customary fun and gentle ribbing that’s served up along with the food.

The Prime Time Café menu includes family favorites like golden fried chicken, traditional meatloaf and pot roast, cooked the contrivance Mom used to make it—that is, if Mom were a 1950s sitcom star.

For a special treat grab a “TV Table” that seats up to 4 and has a television next to the table that broadcasts clips from popular prime time sitcoms circa 1955 including “Father Knows Best” and the unusual “Mickey Mouse Club.”

Bop in for lunch or dinner. Cocktails, wines by the glass and frosty beers are available from Mom for Guests 21 and older, or relax in the Tune-In Lounge full-service bar and sip Dad’s Electric Lemonade or Grandma’s Picnic Punch.

From the mid-50s knick-knacks and memorabilia that decorate this restaurant to the dessert menu displayed through viewfinder toys, nostalgia is the main ingredient. This is a one of a kind experience that only Disney could serve up!

# 8 Chef Mickey’s at The Contemporary Resort is a buffet restaurant serving breakfast and dinner flavors—and your approved Disney Characters!

# 10 Ohana’s restaurant in The Polynesian Resort offers a dinner menu with selections influenced by Polynesian cuisine and a Character Dining breakfast. Both meals are served up family style, which makes sense since in the Hawaiian culture ‘ohana means family.

The Ohana servers contribute to the festive atmosphere, as they lag between tikis and tropical greenery to bring plates of Polynesian specialties to your table. Resolve from skewers roasted over an expansive 18-foot oak fire pit, such as:

• Asian Barbecued Pork Loin Skewers

Experience storytellers and coconut races, where children sweep coconuts with brooms across the hardwood floor down the center of the restaurant. The family fun continues as everyone is encouraged to play with hula hoops and dance to island music.

Start the day with Experiment 626, or as he’s known to his friends, Stitch! Lilo’s here, too, to extend her Polynesian hospitality to you and your family. Join them for an American breakfast influenced by the exotic tastes of Polynesia, like Hawaiian pork sausages and Island-style potatoes, and feel like you’re a part of their intergalactic ‘ohana.

Being confident you're getting the best deal possible on a GPS system is fairly similar to any other item you would want to get the best deal possible with. Being a smart shopper is what you need to be. As a result, it'll be crucial for you to put much though, time and energies into figuring out which system you wish to have the be most excellent way to approach the whole ordeal of buying. It is crucial for you to do more than just skim the notes on the box at the store. In this article we will share some of the various methods for being confident you are getting the most out of your money on the next GPS system that you purchase.

Are you particular about the instructions you are given? Is it a priority for you to be able to access a live human being with the ability to follow along with you when you are traveling? Do you prefer the computerized voice controlled by a system that pulls information from a satellite? These are important factors to consider. While the GPS systems that have operators to give you directions (like On Star) are more expensive, they can be very handy if you miss a turn or get lost. A real person can give you instructions in real time. You will discover that those systems that offer preloaded computerized information are alot less expensive though. It really depends on your reaction time and what makes you feel the most comfortable. Budget for the amount you will need to spend. Although these systems used to cost a ton of money this is no longer true. Less than one hundred dollars is the price you can expect to pay. Do your research. Check your available bank balance. Determine what your budget can afford to spend on your new system prior to shopping. You will be more capable of telling the salesman NO when he tries to get you to buy more than you can afford with this one simple step. Knowing how much you can afford to spend will also keep you from buying something that you do not actually need just because it looks pretty or has a lot of extra features (that you will never use).

After you purchase your GPS system, how often do you realistically think you'll be using it? If you will only be using it occasionally, it doesn't make sense to buy a top of the line unit. But if this is something you will be using every day, it may be worth it for you to get the best possible system that costs a little more. The amount of use you'll be getting from the system is a good standard to use when deciding what you need. After all, you don't need to spend a ton of money on something you might only use a few times a year, right?


GPS systems are not unlike other electronic accessories. If you want to get the best deal possible you need to do some research. You'll need to recognize why you fancy having one, how often you'll be using it and what types of customer service you will require. Each of these things will help you to lessen your selection of available units. If you are an informed consumer, you can be confident that you are getting the best deal out there.
