Did I Find Anything Good to Eat?
As the tagline of this blog says, I’m always looking for something good to eat. I often share stories with you, my readers, about food that scientists discover are good or not so good for you to eat. Sometimes I talk about food we’ve cooked at home that’s really good or really bad to eat. And sometimes I’ve shared my adventures in eating food on the road. Since it’s time for spring cleaning and refreshing our homes, minds, and blogs, I’ve decided to add a new feature to this blog. Each day I’m going to highlight something I’ve eaten the previous day in my attempt to find something good to eat. There will be days when there was nothing good, and maybe then I’ll share the worst of it. But don’t fear, longtime readers, I’m going to continue to highlight food in the news when there’s something worth reporting.
So, did I find anything good to eat yesterday? Yep. Here it is:
In case you had a hard time making it out because it’s so black, it’s a werewolf cupcake. Yesterday Annie and Louisa baked up a box mix of cupcakes, and then worked very carefully to decorate them with marshmallows, tinted frosting, and candies to look like werewolves. It was so good to eat because it embodied all the creative energy and attention the girls put into making them. Love, creativity, and energy go a long way into making something good to eat in my book.
And in food news… Oat O’s May Not Be the Miracle Food
The LA Times recently reported that to get the desired and reported soluble fiber benefit from eating oat o’s like Cheerios, you’d need three servings per day. And while you’d be gaining the cholesterol lowering benefits, you’d be taking in more calories and sugars than would be desirable. Now, that’s not to say that they aren’t a good piece of the puzzle, but they can’t do all the work on their own. They need to be part of an overall healthy diet and lifestyle to truly improve your heart health. So what else is new?

Got something to say?
I don’t know why but a wolf seems to be a fitting start to your quest. I guess right now the wolf is at the top of your food chain. Good luck.
Funny, didn’t see that until you brought it up. Thanks Li’l Red.
