This is a kind of pizza burrito recipe. Take a whole wheat tortilla wrap. Slather on your favorite pizza sauce, some baby spinach and some mozzarella cheese. Wrap that bad boy up and toss it in the microwave for a bit until the cheese gets all melty. This pizza roll up is a quick and easy meal for any child or even the Fat Guy has been known to toss back a couple of these.
Baby strollers are a necessary evil for every new parent. You have to ask yourself – do I want my kid to be driving around in a Volvo or a Miata. Some parents go for the stroller that takes a team to break it down and put it in the car and get it out again. The real reason most people buy minivans are because they need a vehicle large enough to hold their stroller. The moment my kid could hold his head up we moved to one of those cheapy umbrella strollers that fold down in about a second and fit on the floor of your backseat. You runners should consider the jogging stroller made of those super lightweight titanium metals so you can run without hurting your back. Whichever stroller path you decide to go down – remember to fill out the registration form and send it back – that is the best way to be alerted if your stroller is ever part of a recall.
Who doesn’t like tacos? Here’s a way to make them kind of healthy. Use pinto beans instead of meat. Go heavier on the shredded romaine lettuce, use a freshly made salsa, throw in some crushed garlic cloves and some avocado. Eat a couple of those bad boys in a taco shell and you are good to go.
Flat out wraps are a great tool for easy meals. Grill up some chicken. Chop it up and put it in the center of the wrap. Throw in some of your favorite veggies like: shredded romaine lettuce, peppers, tomatoes and onions. Cheese is an option. Now its time to wrap this meal up and eat.

When you are exercising it is important to not over do it. This simple talk test helps you check to see if you are in the right work out intensity zone. If you don’t have a heart rate monitor you can just start talking aloud as you run or workout. You should be able to recite a nursery rhyme of speak pretty conversationally as you exercise. If you can’t speak without feeling winded then you might5 want to lower the intensity of your workout a bit until you can.
Eczema is a painful skin disorder that presents itself with dry flaky skin. Causes include environmental toxins, allergens, harsh detergents and maybe gluten.

Coconut water products are popping up everywhere these days. Dr Fitness experienced fresh coconut water after a long run in Mexico – a guy took a chilled coconut out of a barrel and with a machete cut it open and Dr Fitness drank the water straight from the coconut. The Fat Guy is from Miami so he too is no stranger to the delicious tasting coconut water. Now is it really good for you – that is the question. Good news – it really is healthy. It is high in potassium so it is a good fluid replacement drink. Now is it worth the high price you pay for it – that is another question that only your wallet can answer.
Italian sausage is a spicy treat great once in a while – I’d avoid it for daily consumption. Dr Fitness goes with the soy sausage. But he’s weird that way. After you’ve grilled up your sausage put it aside for a bit. Now grill up some veggies like tomatoes, and onions – they cook quickly – so watch them. Now make your salad with spinach and all your favorite salad ingredients then toss in the cut up sausage and those grilled veggies and eat up.
