I was never a very good cook, but I've come a long way from boxed mac & cheese and ramen noodles. Food is important in losing weight, but it should also be something you enjoy eating. I hope this helps anyone out there who feels like they can't cook to know its possible, no matter how hard it seems. Also to share some lower calorie foods I've found along the way.Some things you should know about me and my cooking-My main focus is calories, but I try to post all the nutritional facts (I also avoid sodium when I can) - I like quick and easy foods, even if that sometimes means using ingredients from a jar & the microwave. - I am not a picky eater, so expect lots of everything in recipes I post. I'm also omnivorous, leaning a little more towards carnivore. - I do however like recipes that give me the best "bang for my buck" when it comes to flavor and calories. I'm not into "diet" food that tastes like poo.

Southern House Plans

This Southern style plan showcases classic elements of a Southern county house: a deep, wraparound front porch for summer shade, panoramic views and more than enough space for comfortable outside entertaining. When the weather turns cool everyone can warm their toes in front of the great room's zero-clearance fireplace while hot chocolate is being prepared in the nearby walk-through kitchen. The snack bar, breakfast room and formal dining room offer several mealtime options. His and her walk-in closets surround elegant French doors in the master suite leading to the well-appointed sizable bath. Find out more about this house planAlso referred to as plantation homes, southern homes are easily identified with some basic design applications. To accommodate the warm, humid weather of the south, plantation homes are spacious and airy with tall ceilings, large front porches with a series of round or square columns. Porches sometimes surround the home (sometimes called a veranda) to provide shade throughout the heat of the day. Porches are built using a decking material rather than concrete. Roofs are pitched or gabled, usually at a medium to shallow pitch. Southern homes are single or two stories in height and sometimes are adorned with dormers. These types of plans became popular in the 1700's as plantation owners commonly built them.

Publishing is the process of production and dissemination of literature, music, or information — the activity of making information available to general public. In some cases, authors may be their own publishers, meaning: originators and developers of content also provide media to deliver and display the content for the same. Also, the word publisher can refer to the individual who leads a publishing company or imprint or to a person who owns a magazine.Traditionally, the term refers to the distribution of printed works such as books (the "book trade") and newspapers. With the advent of digital information systems and the Internet, the scope of publishing has expanded to include electronic resources, such as the electronic versions of books and periodicals, as well as micropublishing, websites, blogs, video game publishers and the like.Publishing includes the stages of the development, acquisition, copyediting, graphic design, production – printing (and its electronic equivalents), and marketing and distribution of newspapers, magazines, books, literary works, musical works, software and other works dealing with information, including the electronic media.Book and magazine publishers spend a lot of their time buying or commissioning copy; newspaper publishers, by contrast, usually hire their own staff to produce copy, although they may also employ freelance journalists, called stringers.
