The plain variety has less sugar and more protein than typical yogurt. But regular yogurt delivers twice the bone-strengthening mineral calcium. Greek yogurt also tends to be more expensive than regular yogurt, because more milk goes into making each cup. Pictured Recipe: Apple Oatmeal

7 Easy Ways to Turn Any Recipe into a Real Food Recipe
There’s a misconception that really needs to be squashed!This type of negative thinking is all around us, even within the ranks of our family members.I have friends who would barely try a new food because I mistakingly introduced it as being a “healthier version.”I will not be making that error again!Apparently, the word “healthy” equates to “disgusting” or “unpalatable” in some minds.I find that attitude a little unpalatable, if I’m completely honest!So, if you think those lovely cookbooks that are collecting dust on your bookshelf can only be used for special treats, while the rest of the time you’re forced to eat boring, tasteless…

Protein Packed Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Oatmeal raisin cookies have always been one of my favorites. The funny thing is that before I knew much about healthy eating I thought they were a healthy treat. Raisins = healthy, right?
