Food blogs

Blogs make it so easy to procrastinate. Seriously. If I find an interesting one I can sit there reading for awhile and lose all track of time—this is dangerous because a lot of times I’ll be taking a break from work and my “break” turns into an hour. Oops.

I found a new one recently that has me all kinds of entertained: Eat, Live, Run. Over time I’ve come to realize that I missed out on learning about things like healthy eating and proper nutrition, and this blog is really informative. Plus, the author inspired me to put peanut butter in my oatmeal, and is that ever a delicious idea!!! I've gotten a lot of really cool food ideas from her. And I recommend the peanut butter in the oatmeal thing to all of you.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading about food and nutrition lately. It’s amazing that I don’t already know what I should be eating. Another thing that’s been helping me are Jillian Michael’s podcasts of her weekly radio show. Shawna introduced me to them and I’ve been listening when I work out lately. Not only does she give her listeners information about exercise, but she also has a lot of good food tips. I’ve found some to be particularly helpful because I have a friend who is trying to deal with being pre-diabetic and has to eat high-protein breakfasts. Did anyone else not know that oatmeal has protein in it? I certainly never knew that. Also, I kind of love Jillian Michaels and think she has fabulous hair. I would like to be best friends with her and her hair dresser, please.

How do people grow up knowing these things about food? And a random sidenote: my parents made me a ton of homemade applesauce (apples and cinnamon, and that’s it) and it is seriously awesome. If you’ve never made your own applesauce, go try it. Right now. Also, tell me interesting things about food that you never knew before.
