When Foods Make You Feel Bad
When Foods Make You Feel Bad
Truth is, you don’t have to eliminate any foods from your diet. The important step is realizing what foods make you feel awful and put you in a bad mood. If you pay attention, you can identify how certain foods, in certain portions, blitz your mood like a linebacker clobbering a quarterback.

Fondue Resources
We enjoyed a wonderful fondue dinner for New Year's Eve. It was a fun and festive way to bring in the new year. I served beef, chicken, shrimp, and a variety of vegetables. I also made tempura batter for the shrimp and vegetables. Of course there was also cheese fondues! Yummy!
I've posted some of the recipes that I used on this site and I wanted to share this resource that includes preparation instructions, cooking times, and tips for creating a fondue dinner.

Dates Wrapped in Bacon Fondue
Dates Wrapped in Bacon Fondue
We originally had this appetizer when we went to a wonderful fondue restaurant, La Fondue -- 120 Country Club Drive #66 Incline Village, NV (775) 831-6104.
1 package pitted dates (typically found in the produce section of the grocery store)
1 package bacon (pound)
Cut the bacon into three to four sections depending on the size of the dates
Wrap a piece of bacon around each date -- Secure with a toothpick
We cooked these in our fondue pot with oil for about 30-60 seconds and they're delicious.
They can also be broiled in the oven for about 15 minutes turning once to ensure that they're cooked evenly. You can also cook them in the oven @ 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Set on a paper towel to drain before serving.
I've seen different variations of this recipe with cheeses and nuts stuffed inside the dates. I think the dates and bacon alone makes a wonderful sweet and savory appetizer.
