Keeping Healthy Resolutions
For 2013, many of us resolved to save money or trim the waistline. What if you could do both at once? If you’re focused on eating better and living more economically, keep these tips in mind as you’re looking at foods in the freezer aisles at the grocery store…

Curb your impulses! Avoid over-buying and over-indulging by getting pre-cut produce and perfectly portioned meals from the freezer aisle. You’ll know exactly what type of nutrients and portions you’re getting. Don’t be afraid to try ethnic foods! Explore exotic Indian or Asian cuisines from the freezer aisle to bring creativity and all kinds of new taste to your dishes. We can’t forget the veggies! Upgrading frozen vegetables from the complimentary side to the meal’s main event can save your wallet and waistline. Frozen veggies are harvested at the peak of ripeness so they are just as nourishing as fresh veggies while being more affordable. Adding a frozen vegetable medley to pastas, soups or casseroles is an easy and convenient way to add a nutritional punch to your main dish. Instead of thinking of your diet resolution in terms of what you “can’t” have, think of all the tasty ways you can “add” to your meals.Look for nutrient-rich, low-fat, low-calorie foods and take advantage of the built-in portion control you get with frozen meals. And finally, make meal planning a family affair. You can make meal planning an important weekly event, just set aside 30 minutes to consult with your family on the meal plan for the week and make sure to include the kids; they’re more likely to enjoy what you cook if they they help pick and prepare what’s for dinner.

Last Minute Travel Tips:
Christmas is only days away and while flights and hotels are filling fast there is still time to book your trip. However, there are strategies holiday travelers can employ to make sure they aren’t paying more than they absolutely need to get to grandma’s house for the holidays. Expedia.com, the world’s leading online travel agency, is reporting an increase in airline and hotel bookings this Holiday Season. They have some tips that we all can use:
· Tuesday is the optimal day to book flights, no matter which week. Wednesday is the next-best day. Mondays are the worst day to book.
· The cheapest day to fly (as opposed to book) is typically Wednesday, followed by Tuesday, then Saturday.
· Early morning flights tend to be the most cost-effective.
Expedia.com has a new mobile app that makes it easier for you to book a room while on the road and it even has deals for mobile users that won’t be found on the main website. Travelers should also closely monitor such sites as the ASAP and Last Minute Deal pages on Expedia.com for deals that can change daily.
