We LOVE barbecue sauce! The problem is that most bbq sauces are made with corn syrup and other ingredients containing large amounts of sugar. If you want to buy BBQ sauces with less sugar and calories, be prepared to spend a significant amount of money for a small amount of sauce.

Buying the ingredients for this BBQ sauce may have an up front cost, but over time this recipe will save you a good chunk of change on your grocery bill. Disclaimer: this is not a sugar free recipe.

Looking for a way to increase your activity as well as find an activity the entire family will enjoy? Check out Pickleball! Pickleball is the fastest growing recreational sport in the country, and here in the Frankfort, Mokena, New Lenox area we have an abundance of pickle ball courts. If you're unfamiliar with pickle ball, think of it as tennis played on a smaller court with plastic paddles and a ball that resembles a wiffleball. (Pickleball purists will hate that I just said it was basically Tennis). Let's face it, tennis is frustrating to learn and requires hours of dedicated practice time ..read more

Lentils are an underrated nutritional powerhouse. These little plant based legumes provide large amounts of fiber, iron, and one of the more complete proteins you can find in a plant source. However, if you're anything like us you may find it difficult to get lentils into your daily routine (they aren't really the most appetizing little guys). Enter lentil pasta. Barilla makes a fantastic lentil pasta with only one ingredient: red lentil flour! Now, don't think that because the pasta is made with lentils that it is a low carb and low calorie food. Truth is, it still has about the same amount ..read more

From the 1950's until present day, we were told to eliminate fat from our diet, as it was the root of all dietary evils from weight gain to heart disease. This view has lightened up in recent years upon the discovery that there are fats that provide tremendous health benefits; but the pervasive view still remains that fat is bad and must be avoided. In the 1980's and 90's we were introduced to the idea that it wasn't fat that was causing obesity and heart disease, but in fact it was carbohydrates. If we eliminate carbohydrates we will surely solve all obesity and obesity related illnesses, ri ..read more

A major element of the BWCLP is the idea that chronic low grade inflammation is at the root of most major chronic diseases and a major underlying problem in the health issues pla ..read more
