Usually, the winter months see most folks staying home and curling up by a fire instead of venturing out to the local eating establishments.

Local deli Comes to 'The Fred'

Three cheers for heart-healthy oils

You may have noticed an ever-expanding choice of oils at your local grocery store over the past few years. While once your options were limited to corn, canola, safflower and maybe olive oil, now your choices include walnut, almond, grapeseed and other types of oil as well. You may have even splurged on a bottle of fragrant truffle oil.

Helping you eat well in 2003

We made it to 2003, a new year of possibilities to dream, and new resolutions to make. If losing weight is on your list of resolutions, the key to success may be to make it "personal," as in "personal chef." As in someone who will come to your home and cook delicious, healthy and low-fat meals for you and your family.

Show your family your care with heart-healthy recipes

Valentine's Day has come and gone, but there are other ways to show your loved ones you care besides hearts, flowers, candy, and extravagant meals with family members and loved ones. This year, try a new approach with healthy recipes and nutritious meals that will not only warm your heart, but help keep it healthy as well.

Caramelized onions sweeten salads, pizzas and more

When you want to sweeten a dish, just turn to onions-caramelized onions. When sautéed, onions soften in texture and mellow in flavor.

Go with the (whole) grain

Getting the recommended three servings of whole grains each day is easier than you may think. If you wake up to a bowl of oatmeal and eat a turkey sandwich on two slices of whole wheat bread for lunch, you've met your daily quota.
