Fashionable Food: PAULETTE MACARONS

'Tis the season for giving - especially to those that gave to you in some way or another over the year. In particular; teachers, employees, faithful customers & clients, nannies, party hostesses. An unexpected gesture of recognition around the holidays is always a touching way to show your appreciation.

If you're sick of giving the same ol' box of chocolates or items that will absentmindedly get shoved into the desk drawer, I suggest you look into these fashionable foods - Paulette Macarons. My girlfriend, Lori, was given a box of 24 as a gift recently. Of course she busted them out when the pregnant lady came to visit. Before even diving into one, I inspected the stylish packaging. It was love at first sight. Their rainbow array of colorful cookies are made so perfectly pretty and the varying list of flavors made for a fun conversation piece. After much talk and research on the price (a little steep at $1.60/cookie), we nibbled away. Ohhhhhh my goodness, this little cookie packs a macho 1-2 punch. The outside was crispy and crunchy & the inside delicately chewy and dense. They melt in your mouth with just the right amount of sweetness and texture the way a good mararon should. So worth every penny!
If you want to give a gift that will get everyone oohing and ahhing, order some Paulette Macarons. In addition to holiday gifts, these are great for any occasion, any time of the year. The Mini-Boxes would make for an adorable hostess gift at a baby shower or as an unforgettable wedding favor!

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

CHICKEN NUGGETS anyone??

Fancy Friday

Wondering what tickled my fancy (aka; something I enjoyed, adored or was satisfied by) this week? Hands down the Chicken Taco Chili I made in the crock pot. Similar to last week's " Meal in a Can " recipe but with a little more kick and ingredients. This is so freakin' easy. Beyond delicious on a chilly evening. High in protein and fiber and of course low in fat. Would I make it if it was any other way?!? Nada. And if you're a Weight Watchers guru, it's low in points too! Bonus. Having a Super Bowl gathering at your house? Whip up a big batch of this with some corn bread and you've got yourself a crowd pleaser. Great for the kids too! ~Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili~ Recipe courtesy of skinnytaste.com Ingredients: 1 onion, chopped 1 16-oz can black beans 1 16-oz can kidney beans 1 8-oz can tomato sauce 10 oz package frozen corn kernels or 1 16 oz. can of corn 2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes w/chilies (mild or spicy depending on your tolerance) 3-4 boneless ski...
