Blog Publishing from an iPad

I just bought an iPad!

I'm publishing my blog from it right now using an App.

I haven't figured out how to load pics yet

Does anyone write and publish from the iPad..?

Please share in the comments at the very bottom of the post.

 ________________________________________________________________________________



Ok . I'm back to my computer for the rest of this article. It is so much faster.
I don't have a laptop, so I bought an iPad to be able write articles and publish my post when I am traveling.
I have to say, writing and publishing from an iPad can be done, but as of right now it is not as easy as using my computer!

I wrote the above the line material and will add pictures, but it took a longer time and is not as convenient as a computer.

I also found  out that the iPad only is compatible with " Blogger" if I type up my posts in html.
First of all, I don't know html and even if I did, it would be a very time consuming project to have to use it to write all my posts.

My next step was to find an App that would give me the capability of typing in " compose " mode , which is just be able to keyboard.

 I researched and decided to try " Blogsy"

It allows me to type my posts and then just like Blogger it will convert for me.

So, right now I am using Blogsy and learning to navigate it so I can write a decent post with pictures and layout while traveling.

Since then my daughter in law sent me this link with 25 apps and reviews for bloggers. Appolicious . It looks like there may be others that I want to try.


The most difficult part of using the iPad  so far is trying to figure out how to hyperlink.



I would love to start a discussion . If you use an iPad to blog  I would love to know your experiences. Please leave a comment with any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions or questions.

Do you use a laptop and an iPad?
Do I need both?
Should I just stick to a laptop?
Do you blog from your iPad? Do you run into any problems?
How do you hyperlink?

Portion Control For Weight Loss- Less is More

Have you ever heard the expression, " Less is More"? It is certainly true for me when it comes to portion control. After my experience with pistachio nuts, I truly understand the meaning of that phrase.

The other day while shopping in our local supermarket, I noticed a new food item .
It was cute little individual size bags of pistachio nuts.
I loved the idea because the bags were portioned out, and I could just grab one for a snack on the run.
They were $1.00 a little snack bag of 1 and 1/2 ounce each
I thought that was reasonable and proceeded to take 10 bags.


However, as I approached the checkout counter, I realized I was paying at total of  $10.00  a pound for the little bags. I also realized I could could get a larger bag for only $6.99 pound.

So, I went back and bought one larger bag instead of the ten little individual sized bags.

                                   
Although the larger bag was a better value, in the case of dieting, I can honestly say , " Less is More"!
My intention was to go home and divide the large bag of pistachios into individual size bags.
Unfortunately,  it didn't work that way for me because pistachios are my weakness.

Once I opened that large bag, I started eating it.
I found out that no matter what the size of the bag , I want to eat it all.
The large bag did my diet in.
I ate 3/4 of it in one sitting.
Hard to believe , but true.
 I was on the computer and just having a good ole time, until I noticed a huge stack of shells staring me in the face.

The next time I buy pistachios I will be buying the little individual bags.

Now, I gladly pay the extra for ten individual sized little bags! I take one with me for a snack and that's it! In this case Less is More because it helps me stay on my diet and work with portion control.



  • What happens when you buy large size bags of snacks?
  •  Does it work for you? 
  • How do you manage portion control? 
  • What is your weakness? 
  • Are there things you just can't bring into the house

Memorial Day Gluten Free Appetizer Recipe Roundup

It's Memorial Day weekend and I'm digging up my oldie but goodie appetizers for some gluten free ideas that you can whip together rather quickly; some only need assembling. These can be used all throughout the summer. Have a great holiday!



These frozen kiwi mojitos are perfect for a hot Memorial day weekend. 
With or without alcohol, they are a big hit.



Avocados are plentiful and reasonable right now.Trader Joes's actually sells little kit of everything you need to make guacamole for just $3.49 ( two avocados, a lime, a hot pepper, tomatoes, a piece of fresh garlic). or just buy your own for this  Easy to make party friendly  Mexican Guacamole  appetizer.


The Hummus Bruschetta appetizers only need assembling and they are always a big hit!


Roasted Eggplant Spread and Roasted Veggies are great for keeping the calories low; make one or both




Are these little caprese bites cute or what? Again, just assemble.. mozzarella ball, cherry tomato, fresh basil,


Got watermelon? Cut some up in cubes and freeze it. This frozen watermelon smoothie is about the most refreshing drink that you can make for both kids and adults.. It's delightfully sweet without any added sugars!


Tangy, full of cilantro and spices, these simple marinated  Middle Eastern  Carrots are a rage in Moroccan restaurants on the salad plate before the meal. You can make them yourself and amaze your guests! Serve these little appetizers cold on a platter.
Middle Eastern Carrots, grilled eggplant, grilled cauliflower, toss salad, humus

Six Easy Gluten Free Lunch Ideas


Sometimes it's hard to think of something to eat for lunch, especially when it needs to be gluten free.

 The other day, I invited my mother in law over last minute and had to think of something fast.
 It was a warm day, and we wanted something light.  In 20 minutes, I threw this beautiful platter together and we  ( my husband too) enjoyed some laughter and conversation along with these naturally gluten free and vegetarian goodies. It was really tasty and healthy with a Mediterranean flair .

Fresh mozzarella, Jicama, red onion, guacamole, eggs, humus, and tomatoes sprinkled
with spices. 
The platter consisted of  a Capese ring of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and a little chopped red onion sprinkled with salt less seasoning and cumin and drizzled with a little olive oil. The center is jicama slices ( which contain a substance to stimulate with weight loss).  The first little bowl held my fastest ever guacamole, while the other bowl held some store bought garlicky humus. I garnished the center with  hard boiled eggs that I always have ready in my refrigerator. In addition, ( but not shown) , I also made a red cabbage and carrot coleslaw ,and we were delightfully happy.
 Continue to read for 5 more ideas. 

Ingredients:
1 package of  fresh mozzarella, sliced
2 large red slicing tomatoes, sliced
1/2 red onion , diced
Olive oil
Cumin, Trader Joe's salt free spice mix ( 21 Salute)
1 small jicama, sliced
3 hard boiled eggs, sliced in half 


Fastest ever guacamole
1 avocado, cut and mashed
juice of 1 lime, fresh squeezed
1/2 cup tomato, chopped ( optional)

Low Calorie Snacks that Reduce Cravings


One of the keys to weight loss is to always be prepared with some kind of low calorie snack that can help stabilize my blood sugar and therefore reduce cravings!


Gluten Free A-Z Blog
                      


These snacks didn't work for me

Last night, a friend had a few women over and she put out snacks of gluten free crackers, blueberry jam covered goat cheese log, chocolate covered blueberries and cherries , vegetable chips, and nuts. She also had vanilla ice cream and an apple type turnover.Of course, all things that I love and pack on weight!  I nibbled on a few nuts and had a few crackers with goat cheese ( and a few chips); I wasn't too out of control, but I was not eating as consciously as I would have  at home. Some  snacks can really be caloric and really play havoc with a good eating plan. The 4 crackers and blueberry coated goat cheese, the 5-6 nuts, and the 6-7 vegetable chips probably added up to about 10 points which is too caloric for one sitting. ( Was I even hungry? No! Would they start me craving , YES!)

If I were at home, my snack would have been air popped pop corn for 3 points. I would have sprayed it with olive oil spray and been in snacker's heaven. Air popped pop corn is full of fiber, low in fat and calories which is satisfying. It takes a while to eat, and I love crunching!

Why weight loss is also mental 

One of my favorites is sitting with friends, talking, having a good time and munching on snacks. I could have eaten half of that bowl of chocolate covered blueberries and cherries.Thank goodness I didn't start.  I always have to bring myself back to awareness and conscious eating . It was so easy to keep having just one more cracker and one one chip. For me, in situations like that , I do better when I abstain. Once I start, I lose track of my goals: I want to lose weight right now, not maintain. When I am not consciously eating , I might just maintain ( or gain) .. and my ultimate goal of weight loss  will take longer. This is a mental journey as well as an eating journey.There will be plenty of time for maintaining, once I lose this weight. ( Of course I only have about 15 pounds to lose) by the way, I still had a great time without munching my way through the whole night!

 I'm starting to love looking better in clothes again, and I feel more energetic!

I have found that since I have eliminated "sugars" and salty foods, I taste food differently. Fresh fruit tastes amazing especially a mango and a Gala apple. 



Snacks that work for me and help stabilize cravings

At home, I always keep snacks in the refrigerator that I can " go to" quickly and that are on my Weight Watchers Plan and of course are all gluten free.
  • Hard boiled eggs ( I buy Eggland's best in a bag already cooked)
  • Mozzarella sticks ( Weight Watcher's brand are just 1 point)
  • Fresh fruit ( apples, pears, mangoes, oranges)
  • Cut up fresh veggies dipped in plain Greek yogurt ( red pepper, cucumber, carrots,etc) 
  • Greek yogurt ( plain nonfat) or add frozen fruit 
  • Air popped pop corn ( I pop it myself)
  • Measured out baggies of  raw almonds or pistachio nuts
  • 1 Tablespoon nut butter on celery
  • Scroll down for my favorite 2 point snack
One of my favorite snacks is  Trader Joe's Cherry Berry Frozen Fruit bag ( 0) points plus covered in plain Almond milk- I put it in the bowl frozen cover with almond milk and enjoy it as it gets icy and as the frozen fruit softens it tastes like ice cream. The almond milk is just 1 point plus ..Total snack:  1 pt. plus

I love this snack!  Frozen Fruit with Almond Milk
 Of course you could put the frozen berries ( 0 points plus)  in the blender with plain nonfat Greek yogurt  for a rich and creamy 2 point plus snack. Tastes amazing and really rich in antioxidants!



                                 

Think, plan, be prepared and eliminate foods that you can't handle
When I am at home I have no problem following my diet plan because I keep high fiber, low fat, low point plus value healthy snacks around that don't stimulate my taste buds and actually help stabilize my blood sugar. When I am out, I realize how caloric" normal" snacks can be, and it really doesn't work. for me.

I try to eat every 2-3 hours so I don't get too hungry and then make poor choices. Snacks really help me stick to my plan and these healthy snacks are nutrient dense so I benefit from the added nutrition and health giving antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

The key for me is to find nutritious low point snacks and food that I can fill up on and stop the cravings! Sugar, salt, and fried foods call me back for more and more and more.
I find it is hard to eat out. How about you?

I  love to read your comments; so please leave one.
What are your " go to"  snacks?
 Does eating out do you in?
Are there any foods you can't handle? ( Pistachios for me- I want to eat the entire bag!)

Finding Meatless Monday Meals




Does the idea of eating more meatless meals appeal to you, but do you run out of ideas and wonder what to eat? Eating meatless or eating meatless on Monday is so much more than just eating pizza &  pasta! There are so many excellent resources to find a variety of tasty, easy, nutritious recipes that you can incorporate into your family's menu. Of course, I am a committed vegetarian and all of my recipes are either vegetarian or vegan, so my blog is a great source.

In addition, I frequent many vegetarian/vegan blogs and get amazing ideas. You can not only find recipes but your can also link your meatless recipes.

In honor of National Vegetarian Week I'm presenting this roundup of bloggers who devote promote meatless Monday meals!

Every Monday , My Sweet and Savory hosts Meatless Monday where bloggers from all over blogland link up  pictures and recipes of healthy meatless meals. I find a wonderful variety of healthy recipes on her site every Monday. I found a wonderful recipe for Sweet Potato Zuchinni Kugel that my kids really liked. Visit this blog every monday for lots of meatless recipes .

I was just visiting The 21st Century Housewife and found out that May 21-May 27 is National Vegetarian Week .( Who Knew?)  It is to help people focus on creating more meatless recipes! Although her blog is not vegetarian, she is doing a vegetarian series this week. Today, she is featuring a vegetarian BLT

Monday seems to be the day designated for Meatless Meals and Hey What's For Dinner MoM hosts a Just Another Meatless Monday blog hop as well with links from other bloggers and lots of recipes. On her Meatless Monday blog hop I found a recipe for vegetarian hamburger helper meal that is made from scratch with soy ground beef that can be found in most supermarkets in the frozen section with the veggie burgers on a blog called Confident Cook , Hesitant Baker. Don't forget to visit every Monday.


Midnight Maniac hosts Midnight Maniac Meatless Mondays which has an interesting variety of meatless meals each week. Last week I found a recipe for " Unchicken Nuggets" made from tofu on The Common Room that was really delicious and kid friendly too. She hosts this blog carnival every Monday as well.

 Another blog that hosts a Mealtless Monday is Veggie Mama . I'm new to her blog, but she has some interesting recipes. Last week she featured a great recipe for fabulous looking lentil curry that is very easy to make. I'll be stopping by every Monday.

I hope that this helps you find some variety and inspiration for incorporating more meatless healthy meals into your diet and celebrating National Vegetarian Week.

My vegetarian recipe features this week are: Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal and Ratatouille Polenta

Each day this week, I will be highlighting Vegetarian recipes from across blog land.. Please stop back !
