A year and a half ago I went up, from my lovely suburban hometown in Orlando, Florida, to the urban hub of Atlanta, Georgia with my local church’s youth group to help out with the homeless epidemic. Being a veteran of mission trips, I was prepared to help out people who needed help and let the kindness of God move through me like a beacon of love, but I was never prepared for…
gandule rice, flancocho, fried bananas, and many more. There is always all kinds of Puerto Rican food, but it’s not the only type of food we eat. My aunties bring their homemade chow mein and chow fun, and my uncles bring in burgers, steak, sub sandwiches and other American foods. I swear, my eyes are bigger than my stomach at parties. Food in my…
into the trash bin. I miss the Airsoft wars that took place in our back yard with Matt going “Rambo” and hitting every “target” in sight. After a “hard” day of frolicking all the neighborhood boys would retreat inside to feast upon grilled cheese sandwiches prepared by my mom or my dad’s legendary Texas barbecue. The greatest moments were the morning after a sleepover when my mom made her famous “flipping flapjacks”, goodness if I close my eyes, I can hear the laughter when one of the boys…

Think about your schedule ahead of time. Sit down on Sunday and determine what you have going for the week. On your crazy days when you do not have extra time to prepare a meal in advance, have some quick healthy options ready to go. Try packing sandwiches on whole grain bread with some low fat yogurt. Also lettuce topped with grilled chicken. Another really good option is low fat refried beans in a whole grain tortilla with a side of fruit. As you can see the main reasons for obesity in adults…

One day I was assisting with the distribution of lunches and they were having pork B-B-Q sandwiches, when I gave one lady her lunch she asked me if it was pork or chicken and I let her know that it was pork, she had then told me that she couldn’t eat pork because her doctor told her not to due to her cholesterol. I immediately told the…
