The Sandwich Cure — Kellie Quinn

The Right Sandwich Can Solve All Your Problems! 
Sandwiches aren’t just for lunch anymore. In fact, a new study says a variety of the tasty concoctions are the cure for what ails you. “You can target particular problems with the right combination of ingredients,” says Detroit dietician Marcia Grapley. “Whether you want to cut calories or stop a migraine, your choice of sandwich fixings can help achieve your goal while pleasing your taste buds.” “But there is one rule you must follow — no white bread. It’s high in sugar and doesn’t have the amount of fiber you find in other breads such as wheat, rye or pumpernickel.”

• Grapley suggests tuna salad on rye with low-fat mayo and lettuce and tomato can decrease the frequency and intensity of migraine headaches. “Insomnia is not a problem most of us would think could be helped by a sandwich, but we’d be wrong,” says Grapley. “In fact, a slice turkey and cream cheese is guaranteed to help you get the shut-eye you crave.”
• If you suffer from a lack of energy and worry about bone density, pump up the volume with a roast beef and Swiss cheese on rye with mustard. The meat is high in protein while the cheese is filled with calcium — a one, two punch that’s hard to beat.
• You can rev up your love life with a surefire combination of honey, figs, ricotta cheese and orange slices on wheat bread.
• Watching your weight and cholesterol levels? Slap together a tasty broiled veggie burger topped with salsa. “One of my favorite combinations for people who want to up their potassium intake is an avocado and roast chicken sandwich,” says Grapley. “Chicken is also chocked full of niacin, which boosts your metabolism.
• Researchers discovered another winning sandwich is sliced apple and peanut butter. Down one of these before you work out. You can even eat your way out of a hangover by eating a toasted chocolate and banana sandwich.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY — Kellie Quinn

Dad represents the easy going,  ”FUN” parent.   Unlike “Mom”, who stands for good manners, wash your hands, pick up your clothes, clean your room, do your homework, never belch in public, chew with your mouth closed,…

Dads …well,…  lets throw a ball,  round of golf, can I have the car keys?, to the ever popular “Bank Of Dad.”

Good Dads are a little girls best friend.  All girls learn that they can pull the big powder puff over his eyes, and always remain his little angel .. no matter what !  

Also, according to the Book  “The Fatherstyle Advantage”   by authors: Kevin O’Shea and James Windell,  Dads provide so much to the parenting table.  More than just the obvious. For example, Dads teach us different ways to play, expectations that are different from the (necessary) Mom expectations, and he shows us how to take risks. It’s inarguable.  Simple nature.   

Pick up a copy or check out the website :  SomethingyoushouldKnow.net with Michael Carruthers. I Love this site !! 

So,  for Dad, and all the single Moms who have had to creatively deliver both parenting jobs,…

Happy Father’s Day.  Have a great weekend !!

Dad’s Snappy Grilled Corn On The Cob — Kellie Quinn

 

It’s a real treat, and very easy.   Soak the corn (husk and all) for about a half hour in water before grilling. Peel away only half of the corn husk, exposing just enough to baste with the butter mixture.

Two sticks of butter.  1/2 tsp freshly minced garlic,  1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, pinch of salt,   2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice,  1/2 teaspoon of Paprika.  

Fold the ingredients into the butter. Place the corn on a hot grill for 20 mins. — Continue to brush the corn with the butter mixture.  Serve hot off the grill and leave the extra butter mixture on the table for use.

Dynamite Flavor.  Dad will Love it!

The Important Stuff……–Kellie Quinn

There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won’t anymore…
And who always will..
So, don’t worry about people from your past,
there’s a reason why they didn’t make it to your future..
These are for you because I want to keep you in my life ~

Melinda- Just As I Expected

For a couple of years now, I’ve been a more casual fan of American Idol. I used to watch it more religiously but an event changed that. In 2007, Melinda Doolittle was voted off the show to make room for Blake Lewis and eventual winner, Jordin Sparks. That is when I realized that the competition was meant for a little younger audience. Not to slight the top two contenders but Melinda was, and is, a class act. I love her personality and loved her contributions to the show. Having her be voted off made me realize that I shouldn’t get into the show as much as I was and I stopped voting for my favorite contestants.

I had a chance to talk with Melinda recently and, as expected, she was as pleasant as she appeared on the Idol show. She has a CD out and she is making the type of music she likes and excels at. It’s called, “Coming Back To You”…give it a listen. She deserves the break for being one of the nice people in show business.

Celebrate MOM– Kellie Quinn

It’s no easy task raising decent human beings and maintain some sanity… AND not suggesting that you will meet the finish-line as the same person you were twenty-one years earlier. 

 

 –Sometimes better …Sometimes a bit worn like that old, 

faithful,  patched-up Teddy Bear. 

 

                 

      

     HAPPY  MOTHER’S DAY

… And God, Please Give a special Blessing to our Single Mothers!       

                  

 Enjoy the Mom-Song

Need A Laugh …From Kellie Quinn

 

Need A LAUGH?

This is what made Spring Fashion Runways… Oh I wish I could get a picture to post here for you… at the very least, I’ll link you in.

 

Everybody says you gotta do Paris for the Spring…but when it comes to the Spring Fashion Trends,…guess it’s a matter of taste because,  just too far out for me. ….like you, I’ve got things to do– Laundry, pack lunches, you know the routine… anyway, can I do chores with a big boat on my head? I think not.

 

Some of it is just crazy- stuff …A model ship on the head of a woman like a hat …weird couture …really ..where OH where would anyone find an occasion to wear this stuff?   Maybe too much of that French champagne??
