NHWM- I recently found a New Orleans chef show on TV and YouTube. His name is Kevin Belton, a really funny guy. All his dishes look really good, although not the most healthy dishes. Have you heard of him? Love his shows.

It is really important for everyone to read ingredients on labels because the packaging can be very deceiving. It’s all about marketing and sales!

My kids used to complain about it taking longer to shop because I read the labels. We have to. We have to stay on top of ingredients used.

Thanks TN for sharing about Agave. Always something new to learn.

I always think about how our grandparents and generations before ate. They ate ‘real’ food, not all this processed food or fast food.

Everything was from scratch. I prefer cooking from scratch. It taste better and is healthier for us. As far as cost goes, buy less of better quality ingredients. Americans overeat!

Look at our restaurant portions. They are huge. My husband and I frequently share a meal.

If I order a meal for myself I can usually eat on it for three days!

TN: Wow - I recall seeing Agave syrup in Panera Bread next to the iced tea huge containers. Never knew it wasn't good for people. Thanks for sharing about it.

Agave is one of the controversial natural sweeteners. It tastes sweeter than cane sugar (so you can use less) but also has a high fructose level. Many people recommend honey over agave as a natural sweetener. Stevia is also a natural sweetener, but it is non-caloric and doesn't produce sugar alcohols. Splenda is more processed. I like to use honey for a natural sweetener because it also helps with allergies.

TN,

It is sad. People are getting health issues at younger ages. Diabetes complicates everything. What do you think? There is a lot of research going on in the field. Do you think we are close to a cure for diabetes?

I have not trie Stevia or Splenda. My daughter uses it. I think she uses Agave. Is that a sweetener? I hear her talk about that too. I got used to no sweetener in coffee and tea. I use sweetener in oatmeal. I put a tablespoon of maple syrup.

I use splenda and stevia to sweeten my tea and coffee since diabetes runs in our family too. I know there are some health concerns over the use of artificial sweeteners but it's difficult to come up with possible repercussions greater than the impact of diabetes so I have chosen to use the sweeteners. One younger cousin who didn't believe in using artificial sweeteners developed diabetes in his 30s.

I used to add sugar. I stopped drinking sugar and now I like the clean taste of the tea or coffee without sugar.

My dad had diabetes and I guess I started thinking about not consuming a lot of sugar.

Llama,

Love iced tea. It’s extremely southern! But I don’t like ‘sweet’ tea. I don’t put sugar in it.

Need: My husband and I are big iced tea drinkers. Well, him more than me. I never actually finish any liquid in a 24 hour period! Green tea IS good!

Inthemiddle,

I am a huge coffee drinker but I like tea in the evening to unwind with. So, I drink herbal tea in the evening.

If I drink tea in the daytime I will drink a caffeinated black tea, all kinds. I frequently buy Twinnings. I do like green tea once in awhile too.

I don’t ever use sugar in tea or coffee. Every now and then I will put honey in tea.

Thanks for your suggestions. I will try them.

We had meatloaf, steamed broccoli, salad, and garlic bread. In answer to the tea question from about 25 minutes ago: I'm also a tea drinker, mostly herbal teas. I haven't had Celestial Seasonings in a while. Twinnings is a good tea and has some great flavors. Harney & Sons Pure Wild Honeybush and African Autumn are my current favorites.

NHWM,

I'm with your neighbor; I need to get my hair done. It is driving me crazy, but for now, I just clip it up on my head so I don't have to deal with it. My hair is long and has dead ends and the gray is showing, which is making me look order then what I am! 😡

What other teas are soothing and relaxing in the evening besides Celestial Seasons, Sleepytime? I like Sleepytime but want to try something new.

Anyone else like the packaging of Celestial Seasons tea? It’s so pretty! I saw their story once in a documentary. Interesting company. Good tea and marketing, right?
