August 2014 Reading list

      Last stretch of summer. Before I think about and even get ready for the next school year, I would like to get some "me time" and enjoy some reading.  Okay, these aren't exactly novels that will take me to places unknown.  I chose these for inspiration, motivation and even practical tips.

    

1. The Blender Girl - Easy and healthy recipes that will make that blender work harder.  I can't wait to try those sauces and dressings. 

2. Eating Wildly - A novel and a recipe book rolled into one.  This contains more inspiration for healthy eating and living.   

3. Healthy Homemaking: One Step at a Time -  This book is loaded with tips on how to manage our household.  From practical solutions to self improvement, this book aims to help busy moms and dads from being stressed out.  

       How about you?  What are you reading this month?

March Healthy Reading - Salt, Sugar, Fat

        Hello food conscious Frugalista Moms!  Guess what I just found in the library today?  The controversial book Salt, Sugar, Fat by Pulitzer Prize Winner, investigative reporter Michael Moss. 

 

 

 

 

         I first heard about this book while watching a segment from the Dr. Oz show.  According to the author, food manufacturing giants such as General Mills, Kraft, Coca Cola, Nestle and more have always been aware of the effects of their processed food to the growing obesity epidemic here in the United States.  Instead of doing something to make convenient foods healthier to the consumers, these companies preferred to spend money on food scientists that enhance the taste of  their products and marketing experts to entice the buyers.

 

         Basically, what the writer wants to prove is that the processed food industry intentionally poisons the population for the sake of large profits. He even backed up his reporting with extensive research.  Quite interesting right?

 

         So, for this month's healthy reading, I decided to feature this intriguing food book.  At the end of the month or once I finished reading it, I will let you know my thoughts.  Would you like to join me in this journey?  Love to hear from you.
