A Major Sign of Success
SARAHMINUS70



The other day, a good friend confided in me that if she could get away with eating McDonald's French fries and chicken nuggets for every meal - with no effect - she would. Every meal. This brought our discussion to "If you could eat any food and it had no effect on your weight or health, what would your indulgence be?"

I thought about it for a long time, and eventually told her I couldn't think of anything. Truthfully, the things coming to mind were avocados, veggie stir fries, or fruit salad. FRUIT SALAD! That's it - that's my one thing.

SUCCESS: I'm not even interested in unhealthy foods any more! It feels so much better to eat well. That's my sign of success.

What would your one food be?

Chef Meg's Zucchini Muffins
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

These muffins are very filling!

The whole wheat flour makes for a dense muffin, which I like. You only need to eat one! If you want a lighter muffin try using whole wheat pastry flour, which is more finely ground and available in the bulk bins at larger grocery stores.
