Where's the Beef ???!!!

  Come n' git it!   ...That's what I call out to my kids.  You'd  think that they would com runnin' But NO, these days, they would rather play Minecraft or watch You Tube instead of eatin' a decent dinner!  I have a real beef with this!  Why aren't they coming to dinner?   COVID-19 has given them new access and freedom on electronic devices! My kids have never had so much screen time!   They have difficulty working on their homework being in grade 4 and 6, and doing the best job they can to complete school assignments on line.  The temptation of video games is only a click away!  It is especially challenging when I have to look over my shoulder to finish my own work at my desk from home. Argh!  I am sure none of you are distracted by electronics right? *wink, wink* 😉😉 👿👼                                A dinner plate sized burger bigger than my son's heads 8+ servings with Home made bun, made with 4 pounds of ground beef. Nobody will be asking: Where'

Snacks! Snacks! Snacks!

                  Snacks  & Canada's Food Guide I don't know about you, but since I have been spending so much time at home, due to Social Distancing, I have been feeling more SNACKY being at home.     These Snack Foods may be enjoyed SOMETIMES, but a regular habit of these over a long period of time can be harmful to our health!  Usually,  when we have many tasks such as school, work, errands, exercise, getting outside, visiting friends, it is easier to eat healthy.  Too many unhealthy snacks will cause unhealthy weight gain and establish unhealthy eating patterns.  Watch the fascinating video below to find out more about the Marshmallow test!  The Marshmallow Test!
