  • I found this recipe online many years ago, when Richard Simmons had a few teaser recipes on his website. I located a copy on a Richard Simmons-related website and will provide the link.

  • That just happened to me recently. I was visiting my son and his family and they took me out to eat. I am just not accustomed to eating casual dining restaurant food and the larger quantities anymore. I took my evening sleep supplements that night and they just laid there in my throat.

My husband has a knack for picking out tasty watermelons so I eat well during the summer months. If I want just one type of fruit, I might have 1-2 slices of toasted Aunt Millie's low-carb…
