McDonalds has had some pretty bad press over the years and, once coffee shops pulled out all the stops to get people through their doors with “healthier options”, it seemed the burger chain was destined to fall by the wayside.

So are those healthier workers on the right track?

Being a Vegetarian makes me feel like I am a picky eater because of what I avoid. I consider myself "Nearly Vegan" because there are a few things along the lines of dairy products that I haven't been able to omit from my everyday life. I choose to not drink milk or eat eggs but sometimes the occasional cheese is hard to pass up. I made the personal decision to go vegetarian 2 and a half years ago after a major surgery that removed my gall bladder.

This is a recipe for how to make hummus. Hummus is a delicious Eastern spread. It is most often eaten on pita bread, crackers and toast. This is an easy and healthy snack or appetizer.
Hummus is essential to your diet. It is a healthy snack and a great alternative to chips, butter on bread and other unhealthy options. A cup of butter contains 1900 calories. A cup of hummus only has 435 calories. You could either eat a tablespoon of butter (which is 100% fat) or a quarter cup of hummus: take your pick. It is high in vitamins and iron. It is low in carbohydrates and high in protein.
