You may love to take your family to the movies, but you’ll want to shield their eyes from the concession stand. Buttery popcorn, pizza, nachos, french fries, hot dogs, slushies, ice cream and gobs of candy sound appealing, but chow down on a couple of these and you might gobble up two days worth of calories in two hours.
So what’s a movie-goer to do?
What’s not to love at those all-you-can-eat buffets? Well, the calorie overload, for one. I enjoy a big buffet as much as the next gal (especially in Vegas!), but there’s nothing good about walking away overstuffed. Here are some tips for your next trip up to the table.
With lots of spices and fresh ingredients, Thai can be a great choice, but as with any cuisine, there are some high-calorie dishes to avoid. Next time you’re craving Thai, check out our tips before you place your order.
I’m no stranger to long-distance flying. Every summer I travel with my family on a 12-hour flight to Israel.

Buffets are everywhere these days — Sunday brunch, wedding receptions or the local chain restaurant. I just got back from a trip to Israel, and our hotel even offered breakfast and dinner buffets. Now, I’ve seen some clean and well-managed buffets before, but this place’s spread was definitely not one of them. Of course, it’s not all the restaurant’s fault. We diners can be beastly.
The classic steakhouse menu is full of gigantic mains and sides loaded up with butter, cheese and sour cream. Here are some basic tips for enjoying a full feast while keeping it sensible.

The last time the girls and I went out for tapas it took us forever to pick our dishes (and then determine what exactly was in them). The food was all delicious, but I realized that I should’ve done more homework before I sat down to order. Here’s what I learned and what you should know before going out for a meal of Spanish small plates.
I love and recommend Barilla Plus pasta. I sometimes buy the whole wheat variety but the Plus is well accepted by my kids so that's my go-to brand.
