Roasted Vegetables
I was reading over at “Straight to the Bar” about having a snack of roasted vegetables, and it sounded good so I tried it the other night. Take whatever vegetables you have laying around, slice them up into small pieces, and throw them on a roasting pan with some olive oil and whatever herbs suit…

Alcohol in an un/healthy lifestyle
The Health and Fitness blog has an article about America’s contradictory stances on alcohol. It references a New York Times article on the subject.
