Pardon Our Dust! Big Changes Coming Today and Tomorrow!

Hi, everyone! Just a quick announcement. If you experience any difficulties with Mark’s Daily Apple today or some issues with the forum through tomorrow, hang in there. We’ll be undergoing a pretty monumental shift. Like I alluded to earlier , we have some very exciting surprises for all of you. And the time has come to let the cat out of the bag, so to speak. But that means we’ll be making a few ruffles getting things situated. What am I talking about? Why the tense, enigmatic, secretive, baiting tone? Well, why not? It’s fun to create a little suspense. And I think this occasion calls for it. Read on to learn more. Many of you have asked for bigger, better, more robust ways of navigating through all of the content I have here on Mark’s Daily Apple.

Order This, Not That: Panda Express

Image
This Chinese food chain has been around since 1983, when it first opened in a mall in Glendale, California. Chinese fast food isn’t known for being healthy, and Panda Express is no exception. However, the next time you order Chinese fast food, keep these better-for-you choices in mind. Appetizers Order: Cream Cheese Rangoons This dish (available regionally) consists of wonton wrappers filled with cream cheese and served with sweet and sour sauce. The calories are reasonable for an appetizer, and it’s the only one in the bunch that isn’t fried or pan-fried. Nutrition Info (per serving): Calories 190; Fat 8 g (Saturated 5 g); Sodium 180 mg; Carbohydrate 24 g; Protein 5 g Not: Crispy Shrimp Shrimp is a very low-calorie protein, but breading and frying it defeats the purpose. The sodium is also pretty out of control for such a small app, coming in at 35 percent of your daily recommended max. Nutrition Info (per serving): Calories 260; Fat 13 g (Saturated 2 g); Sodium 800 mg; C...

First Day

Hiiiii friends!! Are any of you starting classes today? Hope you packed your lab glasses!! Flashback to my first day back to school in 2008 🙂 And fueled up with a healthy breakfast! Eggs / peach / almond butter I was sad to finish off that Wild Friends almond butter. It was a good one!! I filled the jar to the brim with hot whipped banana oatmeal, raspberry jam, and Cville Cluster Granola We’ve been practicing our ABCs and painting both inside and outside of the lines. Because both are acceptable in life! This lunch salad was a cross between a caprese salad and a BLT. Over romaine lettuce I added bacon, heirloom tomato, fresh mozzarella, bacon crumbles, fresh basil, and pesto. And this one had scrambled eggs, hearts of palm, the last of my garden kale, almonds, and Red Hot Blues. On the dinner front, Lauren and I cooked a tri-tip steak from Free Union Grass Farm last Sunday night and I ate it all week over salads and leftovers. It was one of the best at-home steaks ...
