Trying Tex Mex

Mindy — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 00:17:12 +0000

Some of the so-called Mexican restaurants in the area are not authentic Mexican restaurants but are Tex Mex. The people who are really from Mexico know the difference, but I don’t know how to tell. I think the Tex Mex is what they mean when the food is based on certain Mexican dishes but has been adapted to better suit American taste. So I try all the different little Mexican restaurants that open up and see if I like their food. So far, I have one favorite place and only two that I won’t go back to.

Toss the Diet Drinks

Do you know that drinking zero-calorie diet drinks increases your hunger and cravings? The increased hunger causes increased caloric intake. I read about it online.

If you are getting frustrated with a weight-loss plan but still drinking diet drinks – this might be why your plan is not working out like you thought it would. If you switch to plain water when you are thirsty, this report about diet drinks suggests that you are much better off drinking water than drinking diet drinks.

McCafe

The McDonalds by my house has changed their menu board and they are featuring a new selection of drinks called McCafe. You can get hot or iced coffee and milk for about $2, which is a lot cheaper than getting the same thing at a Starbucks for about $5. I might give it a try, but to be honest, I hardly ever go to McDonalds anymore. The only reason I noticed is because I was riding with a girlfriend and she wanted to stop at McD’s to get her little boy a Happy Meal for his dinner.

Oatmeal

I like instant oatmeal for a quick and easy lunch. All you have to do is add a half cup of boiling water, stir it up, and you have lunch.

When I’m at home on the weekends, sometimes I like to make a pan full of real oats. I always buy the Quaker Oats brand of oatmeal. There is a difference between the real Quaker Oats and the cheaper store brand. Don’t skimp on the store brand – you’ll appreciate the real thing once you’ve tasted the difference.

Easter Bunnies

I love Easter. Everything is fresh and new and pretty. There are baby bunnies and baby chicks and ducks, families get dressed up to go to church, everyone eats a big meal together. It’s a happy time with family and good food. I hope your Easter is happy, too!

What is your favorite Brownies recipe? My mom used to swear by Betty Crocker’s box mix. I have tired a couple other brands in a box, but I like my scratch recipe from the back of the toll house morsels package. Those brownies are rich and dark and chewy. Sometimes I like to add walnuts, and once I stirred in some caramel pieces. Those were great! If I can find the actual recipe I will post it here for you.
