All of my friends who have flown in to visit me have all agreed, you just can’t get more for your money! When I heard about the new Caesar taco from a few locals, I had no idea what I should be expecting. I mean, really, a Caesar taco? What does that even mean? To say the least, I was unsure about how I would react to this new combination. I had yet to try something from South Florida that I didn’t like though, and I couldn’t imagine that this would break that streak! So of course, I had to go for it. I was so impressed by the amount of thought that went into each and every component of this taco, I will be dining on it for as long as I possibly can. The competition can’t possibly get anywhere when South Florida keeps showing them up with such fantastic entrees!

What Are Some Fruit and Vegetable Shake Recipes For Your Diet?

Dieting and eating health food is not just about weight and health. It also has to do (at least it should) with taste and enjoyment. From the time of the first cave man, and probably earlier, humans have been social animals. And perhaps the best, most wildly practiced arena for socializing is during meals. In the first place it is a great excuse to gather people together. It happens regularly unlike with bears for example, who gorge themselves and then go to sleep for months on end. (No wonder the get cranky). It is a moment for sharing not only the social contact, but also sharing the delight of a great tasting meal.

Some general things to know about sugar substitutes

Sugar substitutes are synthetically or natural produced sweeteners, which have significantly more sweetening power than normal sugar. The relative sweetening power of a sweetener is measured by the comparison to sucrose, the common sugar, for which the value is set to 1. For artificial sweeteners this value goes from 10 up to 10,000. There are also sweeteners which go even higher, for example Lugduname which has a sweetening power of 220,000 to 300,000, but it is not approved as consumable in the most countries. An advantage of these substances is that they are nearly free from calories, what makes it usable for light and dietary food. In opposite to sugar, they cause no caries. Again and again there are discussions about the dangers of artificial sweeteners, but there are no real studies which really prove their harmfulness.
