Thanksgiving is upon us. Food, food and more food. I always vow I won’t overindulge. And then? The stuffing, the gravy, the mashed potatoes – they form a coalition to completely wreck my willpower.

I have to be honest, I’m not very good at menu planning every week. The two times I have done since we started this segment at Shrinking Jeans have been awesome weeks of eating at our house. All the other weeks that I have not done it have still been yummy weeks of eating but [...]

By show of hands, who loves breakfast? (Come on, raise those hands high!) Better yet, who loves waffles? Yeah, I thought so. Me too. In fact, I love waffles way more than I should, so I don’t eat them often. However, when I was contacted by Kellogg’s to give their new Eggo FiberPlus Waffles a [...]

I’m going to be honest, folks. I get up in just enough time to get showered, dressed, and to work. Sitting down to breakfast is not an option. I need something that is healthy, quick, and simple. I was recently given a chance to try the two new varieties of Kellogg’s® Special K® bars. When [...]

**Kranking, you ask? Well, first off, let me explain that when I first saw that word, I was immediately intrigued because “Krank” (pronounced kr-aw-nk) is my maiden name. Not overly common. And, get this. You use a Krankcycle. I’m dying here!! I must have a Krankcycle. Basically, you “pedal” the Krankcycle with your arms. A [...]
