As a part of my renewed effort to be great in my 50s, I have taken a look at "circles of influence" and "spheres of control"...recipes, nutrition and exercise are no brainers when it comes to improving my lifestyle choices.
So when a craving for a flavor hits...you know when you just gotta have Chinese food, I turn to this little gem and I get all the flavor and texture hits without all the guilt!
