Worth the Price of Admission?
When my wife and I decided to go to the movies for the first time in years, I was absolutely shocked at the exorbitant prices. Not only did it cost $15 to see the movie itself, but the concessions people could have been accused of grand larceny. As much as I love an enormous tub of popcorn, I was put off by the ridiculous price and the artificial butter product that they drizzle over the top.
We found our solution a week later, when we decided to stay in with a DVD and a bowl of healthy gourmet popcorn. We added light salt and a bit of real butter to draw out the popcorn’s subtle, delicious flavor. And I don’t have to tell you about the many benefits of screening a movie at home. The pause button and easy access to the restroom are easily worth the price of admission – which happens to be free.
Delicious and Healthy Snacks
Let’s face it, delicious and healthy are two words that seldom go together, but in truth there are all kinds of delicious snacks that are also healthy! For example; a little pineapple and cottage cheese is a delicious snack that is affordable and healthy. You might also think about a healthy popcorn snack (just go easy on the butter!). If you’re looking for a healthy drink, avoid soda, fruit drinks, and kool-aid, and opt for water with a little lemon or Crystal-Light.
In general, if you avoid processed snack foods like potato chips, candy, and crackers, you’ll be on the right path. Try to choose more organic choices like fruit, unsalted grains, and even vegetables (just remember to avoid the dips and dressing!). When you eat healthier, you’ll also notice that you start to feel much better, have more energy, and even start to lose weight. It’s all the processed food in the diet that causes people to balloon up and lead unhealthy lives.
