Good morning all. I slept like the dead last night. This is a good thing because I really needed it. The "late" night subway fiasco kept us up until after 11 p.m. We ordinarily go to bed around 9 p.m. I just cannot eat my meals after 6:30 p.m. anymore. I have to finish up the bathroom this morning (it's looking really good right now!) and am sipping my coffee at the moment.

I just read this on yahoo and thought you all might be interested in it:


10 Ways To Put More Fruit In Your Diet

1. Top your cereal with apples, bananas, berries or raisins.
2. Bulk up chicken salad by tossing in grapes and sliced apples.
3. Apples won't weigh you down; take one with you to work for a snack.
4. Add berries or sliced bananas to low-fat or fat-free yogurt.
5. Citrus segments - oranges, clementines, tangerines and even grapefruit - are refreshing ingredients in green salads.
6. Instead of a candy bar, munch on mixed dried fruit (raisins, apricots, cherries, prunes).
7. Fruit slushies and smoothies are low in calories, delicious and satisfying.
8. Serve fruit wedges with a low-fat yogurt dip.
9. Make a "baked" apple in the microwave: Put a cored apple on a microwaveable plate. Pour a couple of tablespoons of orange or lemon juice around it, and put two teaspoons of raisins inside. Sprinkle with cinnamon, pierce and cook on high for five minutes.
10. Work melons into the beginning or end of your meal. Perfectly ripened melon slices make a tasty first course. Melon balls mixed with berries are a luscious dessert. Buy melons that feel heavy in your hand; check for a distinctive, sweet fragrance.
