Last year I joined a program at our local Gym, Club Fit.  Total Health has changed my way of looking at food.  With proper fitness and nutritional education I was able to lose a lot of my excess baggage.  Tanya McArthur and Dana Sahlin have really changed my style of living.  With their help I have cleaned up my eating habits and incorporated exercise into my daily routine.  I recommend this program to anyone that wants to change their life-style for the better.

With so many questions about knife sharpening...here's where to get it done!! A sharp knife is one of the basic tools that you need in your kitchen.  Think that a new knife is sharp??  The answer is NO!  Knives are shipped with a dull edge, that's right...a dull edge.  Now it may be sharper that what you are used to, but it is not really sharp...and very few of us (myself included) can really put an edge on a knife.  My suggestion to this problem is....The Edge-ologist...not a tool but a real- life master craftsman that transforms your dull knives into surgically sharp tools.  I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up my knives...they have never  been this sharp...ever!
