Eating Disorders

Portions…
Another great poster showing what an ounce of something looks like, or a proper serving, again hands vary greatly in size so keep that in mind. If you have very large hands a portion will look smaller, and if you have very small hands it will look larger. Enjoy!

All About Wine
This is a great poster giving the wine novice an idea about what they are looking for and what it can go with. Personally with steak I like a pinot noir, just to have a glass a nice merlot is always good. I also like moscato. Whatever you like, you can find it here. Wine

Okay, so you planned your meal perfectly, but how much is in one and one-half cups lettuce? How can you tell if you have 3 ounces of chicken? Or a serving of dressing? This poster shows it perfectly by the size of your hands, at least for a guide. There is great difference among hand

Beets
I love beets, I think they are delicious, I especially love them pickled. I used to work with a nursing assistant who made them and gifted me with a jar or two when she did, lovely gift. Now, my mother is a lovely person, but she didn’t always cook a lot from scratch, so when
