"The Truth Be Told..."From: M.A. Brewer, Portland, ME
I looked into the original Sneaky Chef, this book, and several others of the same type before settling on this "men's health" edition, not only because it addressed my own problems but also because I probably eat more of what Lapine calls "man food" than most men I know. The introduction, where she talks about the difference emphases men and women place on food and the tastes, sights and textures that appeal to them, I swear could've been written about me.
"The Best Nuggets Ever"
By A. Reed
This cookbook has completely changed the way I cook. When I made the chicken nuggets (which had an unbelievable amount of pureed vegetables hidden underneath the whole-grain breading), my husband & children said, and this is a direct quote, "These are the best chicken nuggets you've ever cooked!" I am now adding vegetables purees to everything...

Olympic Moms

How inspiring was this year's olympics!? I watched with my family from high in the mountains of Colorado, along with the rest of the country, while the astonishing Michael Phelps made history. But my attention was also very much on the 22 mothers who were competing in the olympics. There was the 33 year old mother and gymnast who medaled against world class athletes half her age or less. Even more captivating was 41 year old five time olympic champion and mother, Dara Torres, swimming against 16 year olds. I had no idea that there were 22 olympic athlete moms. Mothers competing against the world's greatest athletes? I can't tell you how inspiring that is.
 
My entire family was inspired. We biked and hiked and swam like we never have before. There was an advertisement on during the events that said that there is one marathon more grueling than any olympic event: being a mother. I loved seeing that ad. I think about the incredible discipline and focus that must be required to be an olympian, and then I think about how much the average mom has to do to raise children, and often maintain a career on top of it, in today's world. It's pretty much a toss up in my book.
 
While watching these olympics, I renewed my commitment to do at least one full hour a day of real exercise. I know that doesn't sound like much in comparison to what these olympic moms are doing...
