Health

Tackling a fat free diet, or even fat free meals…is not an easy feat. We scour websites, cookbooks, etc. looking for recipes to sub into our diet…something delicious and healthy. However, what I have realized along the way, is that I can find numerous healthy food options…some fat free, some low in calories or sodium. Yet, when I was in college, I vividly recall the dreaded premonition – “the freshman fifteen”. I realized that the impact of the freshman fifteen came from the alcohol – reality is, we didn’t eat extremely healthy then, but our financial budget was low and therefore, we didn’t eat too much that couldn’t be microwaved. The challenge was the alcohol – being able to drink, yet not gaining pounds upon pounds from wasted alcohol calories.

We all know that beer has a bit of a kick. We know that adding soda to hard liquor has some kick. Reality is, drinking in excess has some kick. I am personally a beer fan…yet can only do so much Michelob Ultra. So, I often strive to find something new, exciting and delicious to tap into on a random night on the town…or a random night at home.
