Hey Lisa, great round up. You would be surprised how many of these posts I just sent to my wireless printer to print out for friends and family. Thank you for your work in 2016. Looking forward to a great 2017 ahead.

I really liked the Costco post. It gave me some great ideas as we do 98% of our shopping at Costco and do our best to eat real food for most of our meals. Also, I referenced the lunch ideas a lot. As well as the post about whether your kids eat enough protein during the day (I think that post was written in another year). We don't eat a lot of meat so it was encouraging to read your perspective on that topic.

Oh dear! I opened this after finishing off the last of the Chokotoffes (Belgian chocolate-caramel candies that are as addictive as crack) that I got for Christmas.
I like your rules and the cereal chart. Though in France, Cheerios are coated with sugar (honey? something sticky), which probably makes them very bad.
Did you see the NYT article about giving up added sugar for a month?

How to make a perfect green smoothie is my favourite.
