Nutritious Sing-A-Long

~ Singing Vegetable Patch

Hey, I'm back, and, hoping to find you all having a great summer!  So far, we've been spoiled with only one or two days of 100° here in Fort Worth...that's okay, I'm not feeling slighted at all!  

If some of you have 'left the building' to bask in the California sun, or cruise the Caribbean, I hope you've had the best vacation ever!  Me, I'm just lounging here at the hacienda, listening to music and sipping on iced tea and lemon drink.

In the meantime, I came across some health tips for men.  I've seen a lot of  beauty foods and nutrition ideas for women, but, what about us men?  Well glory be...there are some noted 'Power Foods' for us guys, and, that kind lady over at KardKornerKrib created a great presentation showcasing some of these

'Manpower Foods'!

*note to ladies:  I promise you will find some of these foods helpful to your own nutrition needs!

What did you think of my bag of goodies?  Do you believe that you can follow a strict regime with some of these 'power foods'?  Well, I quit eating egg yolk years ago, because of the cholesterol statistics, and, now, I don't think I could force myself to eat yolks just to see if my hair might grow.  And, I don't think I could handle Salmon cooked anyway you fix it!  So that leaves the fruit, nuts and veggies.  And, I do those items pretty well!

And, how about that Adam Richman who was formerly 'Man vs Food'!  What a great, fun guy!  He who was accustomed to eating 5lb burgers in a single leaping bound, and more ice cream sodas than a speeding cow, has managed to dump a whopping 70 lbs. by the wayside!  He left the show 'Man vs. Food' to get healthy and pursue other avenues...gave up on white flour and dairy products-and, now he says no to the biggest and richest dish on the menu.   When asked , Adam says, "Do I miss the food?  Sure...but not as much as I enjoy the benefits of being at a healthy weight!"  He also adds that he is grateful to his fans and his time as 'Man vs. Food'.  Let's give Adam a Kudos and congratulations for his accomplishments!

Give me fried catfish, fried potatoes, biscuits and gravy anytime!  Just kidding-those are my favorite things, but nowadays, everything is in moderation.  I think we can eat most things we like if we just do the more wickedly delicious items "in moderation".  Do you agree?  I knew you would!

And, now, our program is winding down, (I'm beginning to sound like Suzanne over at MyTexasGardens), and, I must thank you all for spending some time over here with this old guy.  If you get a chance, say hello...even you folks who are just browsing-give me a shout!  You can't be any more shy than I am!  I appreciate all of you, even though I'm only a part-timer! And thank you my dear miss Suzanne for your help with this presentation!
