Typically served in pita bread, this shawarma is paired with a more diabetes-friendly bed of leafy greens. The chicken works well because it's mild flavor is lends well to this flavorful marinade.3 Tablespoons minced fresh parsley3/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes1/2 teaspoon ground ginger1/2 teaspoon ground cumin1/4 teaspoon ground coriander 7 Tablespoons plain low-fat Greek yogurt2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice4 garlic cloves, minced2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast meat, thinly sliced1 bunch of lettuce, cleaned and chopped1 cup chopped cucumber1 cup chopped tomatoLemon...

I don’t know about pimples but there is growing evidence that oral antioxidants could help slow down the wrinkling process or even improve existing wrinkles. The problem is that there are a lot of antioxidants available.  How do we know which ones really work? What is the best way to get them to work on the skin? It has been shown that selenium taken at 50 to 200 micrograms daily, vitamin E at 400mg /day and vitamin C at 500-1000mg (all known antioxidants) can protect against harmful UV rays w...

(The chocolate bread pudding with bacon creme anglaise is to die for... literally!) While this salad is a lot friendlier for people with diabetes than chocolate bread pudding is, it's still high on my list of favorites.  I adapted it from a Martha Stewart recipe, and added some of my own touches.  The result is a perfectly delicious version of your classic BLT.  If you're on a low carb diet, simply omit the croutons and add more bacon.  You won't sacrifice the flavor, just a little crunch.  8 oz. bacon (about 8 slices)2 cups of baguette, cut into 3/4" cubes (about 1/4 baguette)Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper1/3 cup buttermi...

You want to quit. In fact, 80 percent of your brain is sure you can. But 20 percent insists that you can’t. How do you make it over to the other side without falling SPLAT on your face? Do this. Make a list. Of ten reasons you should quit. Here’s mine. 1. Smoking Made Me Sick For real. Within a few minutes of inhaling a few cigarettes, my throat would start to tickle and my head would begin hurt. The day after a binge, I’d wake up with a nasty cold that kept me in bed when I had a million things to do. Smoking shrinks your blood vessels, clogs up your lungs, and wears down your immune system. Your body is less able to fight off bacteria and viruses, so, yes, you get sick. And there’s of course the lung cancer and increased chances of heart...
