Sniffle, Cough--Beat the Cold

I wish I could beat those darn colds...but, there really aren't any cures, just symptom suppressants. I don't like any of the over-the-counter, so-called remedies out there. Part of me thinks my body needs to get the rest, so why fake it out with pretend medicine that makes me think I feel better when I'm still sick?
However...if I can't breathe, my throat is killing me, my nose is clogged to the point of exploding--I need some help! There are many natural remedies, but this tea is my favorite.

Healthy Fast Food?



Okay, so Michal (my lovely husband) has been craving fast food a lot lately. He also needs to gain a bit of weight. He doesn't want to eat a ton of fast food because it isn't healthy, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong with fulfilling his craving once in a while. I figure it doesn't hurt him if the rest of his meals are healthy. It isn't like he eats it once a day, or even once a week. I think he could gain weight healthier with better foods than fast food.
I, on the other hand, can go a very long time without eating any fast food. It is probably easier for me because I don't eat meat. I don't mind nibbling on french fries once in awhile, but that's about the extent of it.
There are times, for convenience (busy schedule, traveling, etc.) or to fulfill a craving, when we end up at fast food restaurants. So, I figured it would be a good idea to learn about making healthy choices when eating fast food--especially if you do it often.
