Insoles: Before we went to Peanut butter: from Prevention magazine. Since I work at home all day, it’s tempting to eat all day too. I found that eating a golf ball size spoonful of peanut butter is a good way to get protein and avoid munching on everything else in sight. But you have to be good and stop there.
Making Dressing: This idea was published in Oprah magazine a few months ago. Colin Cowie has a recipe for all purpose salad dressing/marinade that you can doctor up with a variety of flavors. Keep some in your refrigerator at all times for tasty, healthy meals.
¼ cup white wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 Tbsp.
1 Tbsp. chopped shallots (or garlic, or not)
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 cup olive oil
Whisk together first ingredients, then slowly whisk in oil.
add artichoke hearts and blend in blender
add tomato juice and a dash of
add honey
add cheese (parmensan, Stilton, etc)
add orange zest and juice, or lime, or grapefruit, or lemon….
add herbs (parsley, basil, thyme, basil, chives, basil, mint, basil)
replace olive oil with walnut oil, or truffle oil
replace vinegar with raspberry vinegar and a bit of jam
or my favorite … orange marmalade
What else can you think of?

The salad dressing sounds a lot like my mother's salad dressing. I add honey and use rice vinegar (it's not as acidy - is that a word?) Everyone loves this recipe. I will try some of your suggestions for additions.
