From the editor:
Get all the fun you can out of the rest of summer
A
utumn is on its way. I repeat, autumn is on its way! The fall season — or sweatshirt weather, as I prefer to call it — will be here soon, and I for one am delighted. To be honest, I live like it’s fall all year round. I drink apple cider when it’s out of season and wear flannel when it’s out of style. Scarves are a staple in my wardrobe no matter how humid it is outside, and I don’t discriminate against fall vegetables when winter rolls around. With crisp air and the turning of the leaves on the way, my 91⁄2-month-long fantasy world will be a reality. This edition of You Magazine is filled with ideas to help you squeeze every last drop out of summer, while also getting you pumped up for what I would argue is the best season of the year. Sara Gruenke from the Stevens Point Area Convention and Visitors Bureau has great ideas for how to enjoy the final days of summer around Portage County.
Our fashion feature brings you the latest update on what clothes and jewelry will be big this fall, and our top 10 list features the best way to satisfy your appetite in the autumn months. You’ll also find plenty of tips to help you with your home-decorating projects from Home Furniture and Welling Cabinetry. In our partnership with Stevens Point-based Salon Envy, we also had the opportunity to give a local cancer survivor a brand-new look to take with her into the new season. Autumn and relaxation go hand-in-hand (except when you’re screaming at the TV during football games). Deb Adams, the woman we featured on the cover, shared her passion for helping people reconnect with the earth and achieve wellness. Even if you don’t share my enthusiasm for the fall season — although I don’t know who wouldn’t — we’ve got plenty in store to help you make the most of this year’s sweatshirt weather. FILE PHOTO

Take Action to Leave the Legacy You Desire August is What Will Be Your Legacy Month. If you knew this, you have an unusual knowledge of obscure celebrations. But even if you weren’t aware of this “month,” you can see that the idea behind it — the importance of leaving a legacy — is an important one. What should you do to help ensure you’ll leave the type of legacy you desire? To begin with, identify those people whom you’d like to directly benefit from your legacy. What can you leave behind to your children, grandchildren, other family members or even close friends? Then, think about those charitable organizations you support — can you leave something behind to them? Once you have decided what your legacy should look like, you can take steps to implement your ideas. Here are a few suggestions: Draw up your will. A will is probably the most essential legacy-related document. Essentially, you need a will to ensure that your assets and personal belongings will be distributed according to your wishes. If you die intestate (without a will), your belongings will be distributed to your “heirs” as defined by state laws — and these distributions may not be at all what you had in mind. Consider a living trust. Depending on your situation, you may need to go further than a will when creating the estate plans that help define your legacy. For example, you might want to create a living trust, which can allow your assets to go directly to your heirs, avoiding the public, time-consuming and potentially expensive process of probate. A living trust offers other benefits, too, so you may want to consult with a legal professional to learn more about this estate-planning tool. Plan for your charitable gifts. To leave the legacy you have envisioned, you might want to do more than provide your loved ones with needed financial resources — you may also want to provide lasting support to those charitable or Member SIPC educational organizations whose work you admire. Toward this end, you might want to consult with your tax and legal advisors about charitable gifting strategies that can provide tax benefits, both now and in the future. Give your family the power to act on your behalf. Like everyone else, you want to be in charge of your own destiny. Unfortunately, however, you may someday become mentally or physically incapacitated for a while. If this were to happen, you’ll want your family to be able to act on your behalf with regard to financial and health care decisions. To grant your loved ones this power, you may want to create a power of attorney and a health care directive. Communicate your wishes. You need to communicate to your loved ones the actions you have taken regarding your will, living trust and other estate-planning documents. By explaining your wishes in advance, you may be able to help your family members avoid disputes and unpleasant surprises — and that lack of “drama” can also be a key part of your legacy. What Will Be Your Legacy Month will come and go. But by definition, your legacy will last beyond your lifetime — so make it a good one.

Planning for your kitchen remodel ARIEL WELLING FOR YOU MAGAZINE
Y
ou are preparing to remodel your kitchen. There are so many details to work out, so much planning to do, that the task ahead of you feels like a trek into the wilderness without a map. Making your kitchen your own is an exciting adventure, and a big investment that you need to approach with a solid game plan. Follow these steps to create a remodel map, so that you follow the smoothest path, and the destination at the end of your remodel journey is the kitchen you’ve always dreamed of! 1. Decide how you want to use your kitchen. Are you an entertainer? An elaborate chef? Will your kitchen host a mob of messy children? Do you prefer to use prepared foods to free up your time for other aspects of your busy life? It is important to have a vision for how you will utilize your new space in order to create a design that supports your lifestyle. Your ideas about design and style may still be fuzzy, but when you complete

An experienced kitchen designer can pull together your abstract thoughts, and turn them into a concrete plan.
this step, you will clearly see the lifestyle you want your kitchen to support. 2. Decide the overall scope for your project. Are you touching-up your existing kitchen, or creating an entirely new space? You could replace only your countertops. You could take another step and reface your existing cabinetry. You may change the layout of your cabinetry and countertops, using the existing floor plan of your home, or you may decide to change the entire structure of your walls to create new paths through the kitchen. Determine your budget. It isn’t necessary
yet to know all the details and design, however, when you complete this step, you should know the overall changes you want to make, and the steps you are willing to take to make them. 3. Discover what feels right to you. You know now what you want to do in your kitchen, but how do you want it to feel? The design choices you make during your remodel dictate the atmosphere of the heart of your home. Set aside some time to look through pictures, and make a collection of designs that jump out at you. 4. Get help. Now that you’ve done your homework, and you have a general idea of the aim, scope, and desired feel of your kitchen remodel, it’s time to start piecing together all the details, and there are A LOT of details. An experienced kitchen designer can pull together your abstract thoughts, and turn
them into a concrete plan. Many businesses that supply cabinetry or countertops have design teams to help you create a plan. 5. Prepare yourself mentally and logistically for your remodel. There’s no way around it — remodels are inconvenient. If you’ll live in your home during your project, you need to plan for how you’ll go about your daily life without a fully functional kitchen. 6. Expect the unexpected. Be prepared for bumps in the road. It is not uncommon for the structures of existing houses to contain surprises. Follow these steps to prepare for your project, and to gain control of the final result. For more information, give us a call at Welling Kitchen & Bath. We’d love the opportunity to help you make your dream kitchen a reality.

Jill Livernash says people decorating a home should create a floor plan for furniture before they buy to make sure it will all fit.

aving trouble deciding what size furniture to buy for your living room? Sofa and loveseat or a sectional? One chair or two? Then there are occasional tables!
SIZE AND LAYOUT
Of course, you need to evaluate your needs first, but here are some pointers: » Make sure the pieces will actually fit in the space. Try outlining the dimensions of the furniture on the floor with blue painter's tape. If you measure accurately, you'll avoid buying anything that won't fit in your room. » After you know the layout of the furni-

ture, make sure that any larger pieces have a clear path into the room. They need to fit through the doorways and be able to turn any corners or maneuver any staircases. » Think about scale. Don't overpower a small space or under fill a great room. » Your salesperson can help you work through all of this. An interior designer can also be of assistance with these projects. Don't feel like you have to figure it out all on your own!
COLOR 101
Although it can be a challenge, choosing a color scheme is simpler than you might think. Color sets the tone for the atmosphere of a space.
fall 2015
Predominantly light, cool colors give a space an airy, open feeling. But don't ignore deep, dark colors for making walls and ceilings "disappear." Cool colors (blues, blue-violets and blue-greens) recede and can evoke a calming effect. Warm colors (reds, oranges and yellows) stand out more and create excitement. There's even a psychology behind color. Red/burgundy and yellow can increase appetites (think about the color schemes in fast food restaurants). Soft greens, spa colors and blues relax and invite rest. Soft golds and yellows stimulate the memory. Colors can be associated with places too. Maybe you love to travel to Italy, so paint your walls an earthy gold and use a terra cotta and
deep rust for accents. If you like to vacation in the Caribbean, try combinations of light blue and green with some splashes of a fun teal, green or orange. Find some point of inspiration and run with it! There are a lot of resources you can go to for inspiration. Flip through some magazines and tear out the pictures of rooms that make you happy. Try using a color wheel and researching the various color schemes. Colors directly opposite each other are called complementary colors (red and green, yellow and violet, blue and orange). You can use them to create a subtle contrast or a bold energy. A monochromatic color scheme uses tints and shades of the same color. This can be overwhelming or incredibly calming, depending on the color you pick. And don't forget you can use neutrals (beige, cream, gray, black and brown) with any color scheme. Whatever you do, be consistent throughout open and adjoining spaces. You want the atmosphere in your home to flow.

eborah Adams’ spa is in the business of makeovers, but they’re not aimed at outer beauty. “We’re making people over from the inside out,” Adams said. “Beauty comes from the inside, and I feel like the world misses that sometimes.” Adams, 49, owns Stevens Point-based The Wellness Spa, which provides services including massages and nail ther-
apy, facial care, Tai Chi classes, waxing services and more. The spa aims to help people achieve wellness, as the name implies, Adams said. The word is all encompassing, she said, and doesn’t limit her business to only massages. Rather, she can help people achieve a connection between their body and mind through a variety of avenues. “Wellness is about bringing people together with their own selves, or connecting them to their own self and teaching them skills to live better, health-
ier lives,” she said. The Wellness Spa has been in business for 21 years, and Adams has been a licensed massage therapist for 25. The central Wisconsin-native has three daughters and two step-daughters. One of her daughters, Emma, has worked at The Wellness Spa for five years at the front desk. She said she grew up around the spa and has seen the clients’ lives change as a result of the services. “(My mom) has given me the values of how to deal with peo-

Adams teaches people how to take care of themselves and heal themselves from within. She’s also working on selfpublishing a children’s book due out later this year, to teach children about managing stress. “It’s hard being a kid nowadays,” she said. “There’s a lot of influences from peers and drugs and confusion and their hormones are all going crazy.” Adams said people can help themselves by taking time to take a deep breath and connect with nature. “Look up instead of forward or down,” she said. “There is a gorgeous sky above, and it just kind of, all of a sudden, calms people’s spirit. It makes them feel connected to something.”

After Linda Landowki’s 2010 diagnosis with triple negative breast cancer, she lost her three feet of soft, blond hair that blanketed her back. Five years later, the Custer woman’s hair has returned, but because of financial hardship, she can’t afford to have it styled or seek professional help maintaining it. Although the 54-year-old mother and grandmother has her 36 inches of hair back, it looks and feels different than before chemotherapy took its toll. Her hair came back in different shades of blond and in a new texture that was frizzy and dry. It tangled and matted easily. When Landowski saw the chance to win a makeover from Salon Envy, 1314 Third St., in downtown Stevens Point, she saw the opportunity to have a fun outing and learn some tips on how to manage her mane. “(I’m looking to do) something different and new, because you just get stuck into the same old, same old,” she said. In the talented hands of Salon Envy’s stylists, Landowski was treated to a makeover that upgraded her hair, nails and makeup. fall 2015

Landowski worked with Salon Envy owner Jessica Richie and stylist Lauren Karaliunas to select highlights and lowlights that would complement her light blond locks. They selected shades to blend with her natural color and add richness to the overall look. After Richie foiled the new colors into Landowski’s hair, Karaliunas rinsed the excess dye and set about creating a new hair style. Karaliunas decided to part Landowski’s hair on the left, rather than straight down the middle. She then worked on adding layers, while honoring Landowski’s request to keep most of the length. Karaliunas snipped a few inches off the longest pieces of Landowski’s hair, then cut some sections shorter into layers that would giver her hair more shape and volume. As a finishing touch, Karaliunas used a flat-iron to straighten Landowski’s tresses, giving her blond head a silky, polished look. “It just feels silky and nice, it doesn’t feel as heavy,” Landowski said.

TWO COATS OF LUCKY LUCKY LAVENDER KEEP NAIL COLOR STRONG
Salon Envy stylist and manicurist Michelle Hetzel gave Landowki’s hands and nails a spa day. After examining wheels of nail colors, Landowski selected OPI’s Lucky Lucky Lavender to take the place of her pale pink polish. Hetzel removed the polish from Landowski’s nails and then prepared her hands and nails for their new color. She trimmed Landowski’s nails using a clipper on the sides of her nail, following the natural curve of their tips. Hetzel softened Landowski’s cuticles using oil so she could push them back and stop them from growing up her nails. Then, using a sugar scrub, Hetzel exfoliated her hands to remove dead skin and make Landowski’s skin brighter. To apply the new color, Hetzel started with a base coat, then two coats of Landowski’s selected polish, followed by top coat. The second coat of Lucky Lucky Lavender would help the polish appear the same color on Landowski’s nails as it does in the bottle, Hetzel said.

LIGHT MAKEUP PERFECT FOR WARM WEATHER
Landowski worked with Salon Envy stylist Monica McCovery to learn how to put on light makeup perfect for everyday activities and comfortable for warm weather. McCovery started by using concealer under Landowski’s eyes and on her eyelids, which would then allow her to apply a smooth layer of pink and mauve eye shadow. After adding false lashes to Landowski’s natural lashes, McCovery finished making up her eyes with mascara, black liner on her top lid and brown on her bottom lid. McCovery then worked on the rest of Landowski’s face, using a blush-bronzer combination on her cheeks and neck. The combination works well because it’s blended and goes on smoothly, McCovery said. She finished off the look with pale pink lipstick. “This is totally what I had in mind, but I didn’t know if it was possible,” Landowski said. “I hope someone sees me today before I go home.”

ary McComb said she has dreamed of opening her own shop in the downtown Stevens Point area since 1983. In 2011, that dream became a reality. in the form of Sugar Doll, a local shop that specializes in chocolates and stationary. McComb had a shop called Paper Doll previously, but merged it with a next-door chocolate shop called Sugar Cubed when its owners decided to sell. The new shop, Sugar Doll, carries influence from McComb’s mother, who loved chocolates and whose silhouette is the business logo. Sugar Doll specializes in chocolates and stationary, but carries other hard-to-find items like specialty pens, socks and jewelry. Sugar Doll’s main boast, McComb said, is the merchandise people can’t find anywhere else nearby. “In some instances, you won’t find some of these items anywhere closer than Madison or Milwaukee,” McComb said. Sugar Doll pulls its merchandise from distant places like Japan, France and Italy, as well as right here in Portage County. Visitors will find stationary and cards from across the Atlantic Ocean, as well as stationary and cards designed by local artists. Half of Sugar Doll’s chocolates hail from Portland, Oregon, and half of them come from a commercial kitchen in a Portage County home. Jo-Ellen Fairbanks runs Melt Chocolat’, the business that contributes chocolates to Sugar Doll, and said aside from independently filling orders, Sugar Doll is the only local shop she collaborates with. “I appreciate the fact that an

In addition to providing products not available anywhere else nearby, McComb said she wants Sugar Doll to add fresh energy to the downtown Stevens Point area. McComb grew up in Stevens Point, and she said the downtown of her youth looked a lot different than it does now. McComb reminisced that downtown Stevens Point used to truly be the place to shop, before big name stores drew locals off to the edge of town. “What we’re trying to do, and I think we’re succeeding,” McComb said, “is getting a downtown that buzzes again with ener-

BIOHAZARD
ach spring, people look forward to warmer weather so they can do their spring cleaning — but what about “fall” clean? In the cleaning industry, spring and fall are typically the busiest. People are anxious in the spring to open windows to let the fresh air in after a long winter. They look in the fall to freshen up their space before they, again, close up for the winter. Cleaning of windows, cabinets, closets and more consume time throughout our community. But what about carpets? As one of the most costly investments you make, they deserve the same tender loving care as the rest of your space. Carpet provides warmth and comfort to your home or office space while at the same time, adding beauty and style. You can choose from many thousands of carpet designs and colors to create an environment that reflects your personal or business style. It is ideal for cushioning footsteps and reducing slips and falls; and when falls do occur, carpet helps minimize injuries. It also filters out allergens, dirt, dust and pollen. Take care of your carpets. Home rental units are not as effective as a professional carpet cleaning machine. A combination of operator errors like the wrong amounts of soap and water, inadequate suction and water temperature are just a few reasons home units and rental units do not offer the deep down clean like a professional carpet cleaning. Depending on the level of activity in your home, it is recommended to have your carpets professionally cleaned every 18 to 24 months. Have you read the fine print on your new carpet investment? Top carpet manufactures like Shaw and Mohawk now require professional cleaning in order to maintain your warranty.
fall 2015
People have some misconceptions about carpet cleaning. For example, despite popular belief, you should not wait as long as possible before cleaning your carpet. Dirt is abrasive, like sandpaper. Every time you step on the carpet, you grind dirt into your carpet fibers. This cuts your carpet, just as if you had used a knife, causing it to wear out faster. A dirty carpet will not last nearly as long as a clean carpet. And, while vacuuming helps, by itself, it’s simply not enough. Heavy traffic areas show damaged fibers. After a professional clean, these areas may still look gray and worn, likely because the fibers are damaged and now reflect light differently, causing it to look dirty. This is called “apparent soiling.” It looks dirty when it’s not because the damage is done. People also think the only reason to clean carpet it to remove dirt . Outdoor air contains pollens, fungus, bacteria, air pollution, cigarette smoke, car exhaust, plus hundreds of other chemicals. When people come into your home, they carry those pollens, bacteria and chemicals in their hair and on their skin, clothing and shoes. Not surprisingly, they all wind up — yep, you guessed it — in your carpet. If you have allergies, asthma, emphysema or other respiratory problems, one major source of your problem could be what’s trapped in your carpet. In addition, tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 different chemical compounds. Even if you don’t smoke, those chemicals get on your shoes, you track them into your home and you leave them in your carpet. If you’re sensitive to cigarette smoke, you might find that you’ll breathe easier after you hire a company to get those harmful chemicals out of your carpet.

Tax-related identity theft a rising problem By Attorney Amy A. Jahnke FOR YOU MAGAZINE
W
hen you hear “identity theft,� you probably think of a thief stealing another person’s Social Security number, obtaining a credit card and charging the maximum possible until the credit card is in default and is deactivated by the creditor due to nonpayment. Unfortunately, there are many types of identity theft. Taxrelated identity theft is the No. 1 complaint from consumers during tax season. From 2011 to October 2014, the IRS estimates that it has stopped over 19 million suspicious tax returns. The most common form of tax-related identity theft occurs when fraudsters use a person’s stolen Social Security number to file a tax return and claim a fraudulent refund. Fraudsters obtain the names and Social Security numbers often with the help of corrupt insiders with access to this personal data, including tax preparers, health care billing clerks, state employees and debt collectors. The fraudsters file the phony returns by themselves electronically or even with the help of crooked tax preparers. Often, the taxpayer will discover that he or she is a victim of tax fraud when an IRS notice is received stating that more than one tax return was filed with the taxpayer’s Social Security number, additional tax is owed, or that the already-filed tax return reports wages from an employer who did not file a W-2 for the taxpayer. In the event of a tax-related identity theft scam, the IRS urges taxpayers to immediately do the following: 1) File an FTC complaint 2) File a police report 3) File the IRS Identity Theft Affidavit Form 14039 4) Follow state-related procedures to report identity theft 5) Contact one of the three credit reporting bureaus to
place a fraud alert on the taxpayer’s account 6) Close any financial accounts opened without the taxpayer’s permission 7) Respond to all IRS notices and continue to file the correct tax return. The IRS also urges taxpayers to respond promptly to any IRS correspondence in order to facilitate resolving the situation. However, a typical tax-related identity theft scam may take roughly 180 days to resolve. If questions arise during the process, the IRS recommends calling its Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1-800-908-4490 to assist. Once identity theft is reported to the IRS, it will assign a unique six-digit number – an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) – to the victim each year in December by U.S. mail. The victim may create an account and user profile at http://www.irs.gov/ Individuals/Get-An-IdentityProtection-PIN to monitor his or her IP PIN. The IP PIN is required for a victim to file all future tax returns to prove that he or she is the rightful filer of the return. If the IP PIN is ever lost, the victim can log on to his or her IRS account or can call the Identity Protection Specialized Unit. The IP PIN is not required or valid on state tax returns. For a final note of caution, the IRS never contacts taxpayers by email or social media, and it asks taxpayers to forward any fraudulent communication purporting to be from the IRS to phishing@irs.gov. The IRS warns also that an unexpected phone call from someone claiming to be an IRS agent, either threatening a taxpayer with arrest or deportation if he or she fails to pay immediately, is a scam. Another scam variation includes the caller requesting a taxpayer’s financial information in order to send a refund. The IRS requests that any information regarding these telephone

scams be reported at 1-800-3664484 or at http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml so that the

In May, the Department of Transportation closed down the intersection of Highway 54 and Maple Drive — located just down the street from Alimi’s restaurant — as part of a $2 million project to transform the space into a single-lane roundabout.
The project, which is scheduled to be completed by September, has required customers to follow signs posted near the intersection to the restaurant. Alimi, however, said he’s grateful to the village of Plover and his customers from throughout the area for supporting his family-run business during this time. “We’ve been OK. People are

selection of desserts are also available. Sherri Alimi, Matthew’s wife who also works in the kitchen, said the all-you-can-eat fish fry on Friday is popular, and the restaurant offers breakfast specials Monday through Friday along with specials for senior citizens every day. The menu has a heavy dose of Mediterranean influence, leading off with the gyro — a mix of beef and lamb meat carved off a spindle to order, nestled into a pita then loaded with onions, tomatoes and the traditional tzatziki sauce — which Alimi said is one of their most popular items. Customers can also get the gyro western-style with onions, green peppers, mushrooms and black olives. There’s also the Athenian burger with gyro meat, sauteed onions, spinach and feta cheese; the Grecian salad with gyro meat, tomato, onions, feta, hardboiled egg and Grecian dressing;
and the Athens wrap with gyro meat, tomato, onions, feta, lettuce and tzatziki. The variety of food on the menu comes from the family’s nearly four decades of experience in the restaurant business. After opening the Sunshine Family Restaurant in Kenosha back in 1978, the Alimis operated restaurants in South Beloit, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin Rapids, Amherst and Plainfield before settling finally in Plover, where they had also previously operated a Sunshine Restaurant. “We cook everything fresh with no preservatives, and we don’t want anyone to leave hungry,” Alimi said. “That’s how we’ve always run our restaurants, and I think it’s why people come back.” Nathan Vine can be reached at 715-345-2252.

The fall season is nearly upon us, and that means it’s time to raid those closets to ditch what’s out and find what’s in. You magazine talked with local boutique owners Margaret O'Connor-Govett of Girls In Pearls and Christine Abbott of Catori to find out what should stay and what should go.

This fall will see some familiar favorites, including leggings and denim jackets. Denim jackets never seem to go out of style, Abbot said.
For a more dressed up look, O’Conner-Govett suggests channeling your inner Diane Von Furstenburg with a wrap dress. She said she sells wrap dresses to people with a variety of body types.
“It seems like it’s gotten cuter and more comfortable,” Abbott said. “They’re very soft, almost like the material of a shirt but the look of a jean jacket.”
“It’s one of those [dresses] that just looks good on every body,” O’Conner-Govett said of a faux-wrap dress in her shop.
O’Connor-Govett said transitional pieces are a staple for any closet. A sleeveless tank in the summer can pair with a scarf and a jacket in the fall, and even into winter.

Lunch in ten minutes or less For You Magazine
A
s far as important meals go, breakfast typically gets all the glory. Although it certainly is important, we can’t overlook the importance of other meals.
Think about lunch: it breaks up the day, powers us through the afternoon and hopefully prevents us from feeling famished by dinner time. By making healthy choices at lunch, we can maximize these benefits. However, eating a healthy lunch or packing one for work can often present a challenge. Follow these tips for creating a healthy, easy lunch: Keep it balanced: Aim for a balance of protein-rich foods, healthy fats, and quality carbohydrates. The combination of fiber, protein and fat from foods like nuts, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, and lean meats and fish can keep you full until dinner. As a rule of thumb, make half your lunch fruits and veggies, and round out your meal with healthy protein and grains. Bulk it up: Eating too small of a lunch may set you up for a not-so-healthy afternoon snack. One common mini-meal offender, frozen microwaveable entrees, is popular both at home and in the office. Although they are convenient, their portion-controlled nature can sometimes be a downfall. The “healthy” or “light” meals may have some positive nutritional qualities, but usually offer only about 250 calories. These dainty meals do little for satiety. If you do choose a frozen dinner, bulk it up with extra veggies or a side with some staying-power, like Greek yogurt topped with nuts. But don’t overdo it: Conversely, eating too large of a lunch may leave you feeling sluggish. Especially for those in an office setting, venturing out to a restaurant for lunch may be tempting. In fact, Americans eat out for lunch an average of two times a week and spend about $10 each time. Not only is eating out hard on our budget; it can be hard on waistlines as well. A typical lunch eaten at a fast food or sit-down restaurant packs between 850 and 1,000 calories. Before

eating out, make it a point to check the restaurant’s website for nutrition facts. This allows you to plan your meal choices ahead of time and to factor nutrition into the decision. Following these principles, here are some quick lunch ideas that come together in 10 minutes or less: Leftovers: If you make a healthy dinner, eating a healthy lunch is easy. Consider doubling the recipe at dinner, so that you can eat the leftovers throughout the week. Loaded potato: Pierce a white or sweet potato with a fork and microwave for 5-6 minutes, or until soft. Try topping it with Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream),
fall 2015
broccoli, or diced low-sodium ham, or a sprinkle of cheese. Wraps: Whole grain wraps and tortillas are a versatile ingredient. Wrap up lunch meat, cheese and veggies, or try a peanut butter and fruit wrap. Protein-packed salad: Using canned tuna or salmon is an easy way to increase healthy fish intake. Mix a can with light mayonnaise, chopped celery and onions, and your favorite seasonings. Eat the tuna or salmon salad on whole wheat bread or with crackers. Super soup: Give canned soup a protein and fiber boost by adding a can of rinsed beans or extra frozen vegetables.
