Snacking can be a very positive part of your day. It can help manage a healthy appetite by avoiding over-eating at meals, or eating the "wrong" things. Snacks can also help provide lots of vitamins and minerals throughout the day.

Recent studies prove that snacking on the right foods at the right time can turn your body into a fat-burning machine. Get your metabolism going with a pre-dinner snack, 1-2 hours before your main meal. Doing so will help you stop eating once you're full, which is sometimes hard to do. The key to snacking is to keep the snack light so you won't overdo it, but to make it hearty enough that it will satiate you. Also, aim for a snack that's 6 grams of fiber, 10 grams of protein, and one that is approximately 200 calories.

The spice mixes included the 5 main tastes of sweet, sour, hot, salty, and bitter. The best places to purchase spices are in special Indian or Asian grocery stores.

About a month ago, i was in a winderful Indian Restuant, just off Times Square in New York City.  I was at The Integrative Health Symposium (more Blogs to come) and was having dinner with  4 other wonderful ladies from that meeting.  We had some great food .  I was intrigued with the simplicity and taste of the light and semi-sweet tasting rice.
