Winter is coming and you need to.....

take care of your skin. Make sure you moisturize before going out and don't forget your sunscreen. My favourite is by Elta MD. I use UV PHYSICAL, SPF 41. Go to
www.buyelta.com and you will see the variety of skincare creams they have available.
Also, take care of you lips. I am still using my Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream for lips. It is the best!

When you have a sore back,,,,,,

I have been having terrible back and neck pain....I tried not working out for four days which is a lot for me and my back got worse.
I finally went to the gym and did the bike and elyptical for about an hour and then did some very light weights. I have to say my back loosened up and I feel much better and not so grouchy. Granted, my problem isn't fixed at this point. I do need PT but in the meantime, I say do light exericise and never just lay around. It makes the muscles tighter and more sore.

Steve's Health Bars

This is a recipe I got from my friend, Susan. Her trainer gave it to her. All the ingredients can be found at your local food store or Whole foods.
These bars are so nutritious, packed with protein and fiber.
Once they have baked and cooled, cut them into 2 inch squares and take them as your mid morning snack, your breakfast or midafternoon snack.
Enjoy!

Sunday Suppers at Lucques by Suzanne Coin

My dear friend Nancy Geaney made me the most memorable meal I have had in a long time.
It was a pasta, parpadelle, with shallots, assortment of mushrooms, garlic, parsley, toasted breadcrumbs,fresh baby spinach and of course, parmesan cheese. It was outstanding. I highly recommend this book.
I think one of the most important ingredients is of course the pasta and what kind you buy. Nancy bought hers at Traders Joe's.....
The recipes are easy to follow and just so delicious.
