04/02/2013 - Best Burger in Grand Rapids Mi

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:00:00 GMT

Who Makes the Best Hamburger in Grand Rapids Michigan?

This debate has been ongoing for years and will continue as new places continue to pop up and offer up new burgers for the title. We'll list a few ideas but really it would take a serious GRburger challenge to find a winner and all contestants would probably be separated by HALF a point.

So lets cover what exactly are the specs for the BEST Burger? Starting with Fresh, never frozen, beef(bison, ostrich, elk, whatever). Fresh ground if possible but if not, at least quality meat that has been lightly packed into a patty. It has to be seasoned and at least 1/3 pound to even be considered. Grilled/seared and cooked to the perfect temperature are mandatory. Then fresh toppings have to be used and creativity can be a plus. Lastly, do not SKIMP on the bun..this can ruin a great burger.

So here are just a few places around town that serve up great hamburgers.

Feel Free to Comment below and add any place you've visited that has an excellent burger!

Enjoy!

Mon, 25 Feb 2013 08:00:00 GMT

Are you looking for a Free Iphone or Droid app, for greater Grand Rapids Mi, that gives you local restaurant and drink specials, local band gigs, coupons, events and hotels? You can get all of that and more with the Grand Rapids Night Out app! It’s a small, lightweight app that is very fast and easy to use. You can quickly find daily specials with all the details such as business name, location, phone number, link to the business listing on GrandRapidsNightOut.com and distance away from your location (using your phone’s GPS if activated). In addition, if you are coming to Grand Rapids from Lansing, Kalamazoo, Muskegon or from out of state you can easily plan your night out while in Grand Rapids using the app. It will automatically load Grand Rapids specials by using your phone’s GPS.

Feel free to use your phone to go to this url- http://www.grandrapidsnightout.com/app

This will take you directly to the market to download the app depending on if you own an Iphone or Droid based smart phone. You’ll be up and running in just a few moments.

Our coverage area is from Hudsonville/Allendale to Lowell and from Rockford down to Byron Center/Caledonia. We are continuously working on improving our app and adding more and more content.

02/23/2013 - Best Breweries in Grand Rapids Mi

Best Breweries in Grand Rapids Michigan

Where are the best breweries in the greater Grand Rapids, Mi area? Now that GR has turned into the micro brewery capital of the world is seems, everybody now asks where are the best ones in the area.

Mitten Brewing Photo

With the opening of Osgood in Grandville (hopefully sometime before this summer), that will be 14 micro breweries in our coverage area! That really is amazing thinking back on the history of Grand Rapids. These brew pubs aren’t just doing decent, they are flourishing and many are spending money on expansion to keep up with demand. Not only do you get great drinks but excellent home-made dishes and live entertainment. We’d recommend doing a brewery tour and checking them all out especially if you are a beer enthusiast.

It’s really the massive success of each brewery that keeps flow of new ones opening. There is still plenty of space in and around Grand rapids for quite a few more. It’s very apparent that people in West Michigan love their brew and hopefully each new brew pub will continue to offer different unique flavors. You can see the excitement every single time a new location is announced and typically opening day means turning people away at the door.

The Grand Rapids Brewing company is Michigan’s First organic micro brewery. This is ground breaking but also challenging due to the selection of organic hops available. We really think that this is going to catch on and draw more organic brew masters AND local farmer producing organic supplies for these pubs. Both will be great for West Michigan and continue to boost the growth and activity in the area.

Some highly recommended places to visit in our coverage area are Hopcat, Mitten Brewing Co., Brewery Vivant and Harmony. You will be very happy with the offering from these pubs and they really aren’t that far from each other.

We salute you Professors of the Pint!

If you are planning on opening a micro brew pub, which is probably everybody reading this :) , contact us and let us know.

Look for coverage of new pubs coming that feature micro beers on GrandRapdidsNightOut.com. Check them all out, try all the different beers and food offerings and post up your thoughts below!

01/16/2013 - Big Brothers & Big Sisters Fundraiser in Grand Rapids

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMT

Local Doctor Offers $285 Worth of Services for $19 donation to:

The Big Brothers & Big Sisters of

Greater Grand Rapids

We are The Chiropractic Doctors and recently we decided to make a special offer to anyone in the area who is suffering from physical pain and would like fast, simple relief.

We have agreed to give away (to anybody who asks for it) $285.00 worth of our services for only a $19.00 donation to the Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Greater Grand Rapids. We are doing this as part of our Community outreach program, and it is our way of saying "thank-you" to the people of Wyoming-Kentwood for making our practice so successful since opening our doors 32 years ago.

To find out how to donate, click Here

We have helped hundreds of people in the greater Grand Rapids area to feel better and live healthier more productive lives through Chiropractic care, and now I would like to introduce more of the many benefits our profession has to offer. For instance Chiropractic care can likely help you if you are suffering from any of the following conditions:

· Migraine headaches

· Low back pain

· Neck pain/muscle stiffness

· Numbness or soreness in your arms or legs

· Constant fatigue/lack of energy

· Muscle spasms, sprains and strains

Fortunately if you are suffering from any of these problems right now, they may be relieved or eliminated by Chiropractic treatments (commonly called "adjustments")

So if you want to see what Chiropractic care can do for you, there is no better time than now, because this offer includes:

· An in depth consultation about your health and well being

· A complete spinal examination

· A set of specialized X-rays to determine if a misalignment in your spine is causing your pain or symptoms

· An analysis of your X-rays and spinal exam results so we can see what needs to be done to help relieve your problem

So now you can come in and find out for certain if you need Chiropractic care and how it can eliminate the pain you are feeling.

11/21/2012 - About Us- The Why behind GrandRapidsNightOut.com

Wed, 21 Nov 2012 08:00:00 GMT

The reason why GrandRapidsNightOut.com was started!

So, It was a few years ago and the kids were at the babysitter's for a few hours. It was a week day and the wife and I had to figure out what we were going to do with the limited time we had. We did NOT want to go to the same restaurant we usually go to, so I said that I'd hop on the internet and see what's going on...who has what food & drink specials, where we could go for entertainment afterwards and maybe find out where local music was playing. After 30 minutes, all I found was a Big Problem.

There are about 1,000 bars and restaurants in greater Grand Rapids, Mi. Some have websites and some have facebook pages. Some of THOSE 'some' are updated with current information. But, I would bet MOST bars & restaurants are running daily specials and occasional events. Do YOU want to spend hours trying to track down the information that you are looking for? That's when we said there should be something out there to fix this problem.

GrandRapidsNightOut.com was born shortly after! It's part of a massive network of "NightOut" sites through Michigan, The U.S. and couple other countries.

This site was designed from the ground up to give the user ALL of the information that he/she is looking for and do it in minutes or even seconds instead of hours. With all profiles sorted by type and location, you can quickly do a search by checking a few boxes and immediately narrow down your results. You can use the search box in the upper right hand corner to type in a name, part of a name or a feature like "Outdoor seating" or "pool tables". You can view the daily calendar for specials and events for today or any other day. You can even GET this calendar information on our FREE IPHONE/DROID APP!

The link is at the top for the APP or Click HERE for the APP PAGE!

View it anywhere & anytime. Businesses get their own login & password to have 24/7 access. There is no middle man so updates are instant and from the source.

We strive to be the most complete and up to date directory for our categories in Greater Grand Rapids. Unlike many other directories,

WE ARE LOCALLY OWNED!

This is not an owner out of California who couldn't care less about the city of G.R. We support local charities and help promote their events. We donate our time and resources to actively help raise money. We support local businesses.

We have over 50,000 total social media followers and we want to thank all of your for the support. We will continue to try to provide the best user experience possible and hope that you will spread the word to friends and family about GrandRapidsNightOut.com

NOW FOR THE FUN PART!

We'd love it if you'd mention us to local businesses relevant to the site, that you would like to see them on GrandRapidsNightOut.com

You can even tell them that we're very inexpensive and offer the best bang for the buck. We feel every biz should have the opportunity to be on this site, not just those with deep pockets.

For a LIMITED TIME, if you refer a business to us and they sign up & mention you as the referrer...We'll give you a gift card for 20% of what they spend with us(prepaid visa card). You can use the gift card wherever you want. This promo is open until January 5th 2013, so if you're interested, DON'T WAIT!

Thanks to Everyone,

11/17/2012 - Mitten Brewing Company Grand Rapids, Mi Review

Sat, 17 Nov 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Grand Opening of the Mitten Brewing Co. in GR, Michigan.

Who doesn’t like a repurposed building? Old factories are being turned into office space and apartments, old missile silos are being turned into homes, and the most recent local convert is the old fire station at 527 West Leonard was turned into The Mitten Brewing Company. The Mitten Brewing Company is essentially a new local brewery that also serves pizza as their primary food of choice.

Although I always try to support local food and local business as much as possible, I have found myself becoming tired of what I perceive as trendy, pretentious, overpriced breweries/restaurants popping up all over town that seem all the rage. Some of these places have earned their hype, while I find that others just leave me scratching my head as to why they are so popular. With that in mind, I admit to walking into the Mitten Brewing Company with a chip on my shoulder.

Since I am a foodie, the pizza was the most important thing to me and the beer was secondary. I went ahead and ordered a pepperoni pizza.

So, my initial complaint was that you could only order a 12”pizza. If I was alone this would have been too much to eat and with my wife and son with me on this excursion it was really too little. I wish that I had more size choices and, to be honest, I do find a one item 12” pizza for $11 to be a tiny bit more than I would be excited to pay for it.
While we were waiting for the pizza, I realized that we would all be dying of the munchies afterward. I decided to order an appetizer of peanuts to fill the inevitable void that the small pizza would not. I also ordered a beer called “The Grand Pumpkin” as I also thought that it was fair to give the beer (their specialty) a fair try.

I would describe the beer as good but, given its’ name, I was expecting a stronger taste of pumpkin. The beer was interesting in the respect that there was virtually no aftertaste. For my wife, who is not a fan of beer, this was a positive feature of its’ flavor profile. The taste of this particular beer was a little lighter than I was hoping for, and I admit a curiosity of wanting to try one of their stout beers on another visit. By the time I had nearly finished the beer, the pizza had arrived. As it turns out, the pizza was better than I had hoped.
The pizza crust was extremely thin, which I prefer and they had achieved a perfect char on the bottom. The sauce, which is the most important part of the pizza for me, was fairly good. Unlike many pizzas, that lack a sufficient quantity of sauce, this one had the perfect amount of sauce and only a little more garlic would have made this savory concoction perfect. The cheese was both tasty, and just the right quantity to balance with the sauce. The pepperoni…well, it’s hard to go wrong with pepperoni.

So, what are my overall impressions of Mitten Brewing? The atmosphere was excellent because of its’ unique nature. The pizza was small and a little overpriced, but better than most of the pizza places in Grand Rapids, and the beer was good enough to warrant additional visits to try a wider variety of their offerings. Overall, I would give them a good solid “B” for a grade. It is certainly worth checking out, and I can easily see how this bar could become somebody’s local favorite.

10/11/2012 - Who has the Best Pizza in greater Grand Rapids, Mi?

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 08:00:00 GMT

So, Who Does have the Best, #1 Most Delicious Pizza in the Grand Rapids Michigan area?

With more than 150 pizza places in our coverage area, it's incredibly difficult to try them all and rate them in order. First we have to agree on some basic rules.

The crust has to be fresh made with their own recipe. Sauce has to be home made recipe also. Toppings have to be fresh (NOT CANNED MUSHROOMS!). And of course it has to be cooked to perfection. If your pizzas are coming out undercooked, STOP IT!! (check your pizza right now).

One of the best, and agreed upon by many is Brick Road Pizza in eastown. The crust is fantastic and does NOT give you the pizza gut bomb after you eat it. It's light and slightly crispy. Their sauce is excellent so feel free to order a side of it with your pizza.

Georgio's pizza downtown is another excellent choice. All you have to do is walk in and smell. They do have a large selection of different pies to choose from. We definitely have to try more of what they have to offer.

Vitale's gets alot of votes. They've been around forever and for good reason. If you ever have a party and want to order out. Feel free to grab a bunch of pies from there, you won't be disappointed.

Peppino's is another place that is very popular for their tomato pies. They've always been cooked perfectly and full of toppings. Another place where you can just walk in and you'll know right away what we're talking about.

Another place that we're looking forward to is the Mitten Brewing company. After speaking with the owners there, I believe they are going to have some great pizza available when they open.

Here is the full list of places on GrandRapidsNightOut.com

10/01/2012 - Brick Road Pizza in Eastown Grand Rapids Mi, Best Pizza pies

Mon, 01 Oct 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Brick Road Pizza Co. serves up amazing, some of the BEST Pizza in Greater Grand Rapids Michigan.

Took a trip to Brick Road Pizza Co. recently and found it was NOT your typical pizza joint! When we opened the door the aroma of the fresh baked pizza dough drew us inside. It’s a quaint place, with a lot of hustle & bustle going on. After looking over the all the options from gourmet pizzas to vegan dishes; they even have gluten free crust (upon request), we decided to “build your own” w/ mushrooms, chicken & basil.

We got our pizza & it looked delicious. First bite and all I could say was “I’m in pizza heaven!” a little cheesy (no pun intended), but true. I actually ate four whole pieces crust and all! That’s a lot of pizza for me. The crust had was light, had amazing flavor & just the right crisp to it. You can taste the freshness of the tomatoes in the pizza sauce; it was out of this world. I highly recommend ordering a side of the pizza sauce to dip your left over pizza crust in! After devouring our pizza we went for a walk with absolutely no post pizza gut bomb. I was actually considering a 2nd pizza for the road from Brick Road!

The owner also noted that they are expanding the restaurant and adding a bar.

They serve beer and wine, also have a Sunday brunch with bloody mary and mimosa bars!

-Emmitt Smith

"I've been seeing a chiropractor and he's really been helping me out a lot. Chiropractic's been a big part of my game."

02/13/2012 - Mexican Restaurants in greater Grand Rapids, Mi

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Mexican Restaurants in Grand Rapids, Michigan area

Here are some ideas of places to go for Mexican food in the greater Grand Rapids area. These are places that we've been to and have some authentic south of the border style cooking. Several places you may never think to visit because they are so small or they don't do a ton of advertising because they are "mom & pop" type dining places. But we always recommend trying new places and new foods because you never know when you'll find a new dish that you absolutely love!

These are by FAR not the only places to go in our coverage area but some ideas that may get you to seek out even more places to visit.

Click on any of the blue links below to goto their profile on GRNO

El Granjero Mexican Grill - Located near downtown Grand Rapids and not too far from the John Ball Zoo. This restaurant features REAL authentic mexican food recipes. Fresh and tasty is what you will receive here and don't be afraid to ask about what you see on the menu. There are alot of unique items and the food here is Very Good!

Cafe San Juan- Located in Wyoming near 36th st and Burlingame. This small family owned restaurant features Mexican AND Cuban dishes. I have to mention that their wet burritos, home-made salsa & home-made chips are a favorite of ours. You'll find more of a familiar mexican menu and great weekly specials.

Beltline Bar- Located near 28th and Division very close to US131. They are known for Great, Huge wet burritos but also have excellent chimichangas! They have a full bar so PLAN on ordering Margaritas with your meal! Also, if you don't get the fried ice cream for dessert..then you're crazy..just an FYI.

Cinco de Mayo Downtown- Located downtown Grand Rapids right on the Monroe Center. This is another place that serves great mexican dishes with daily food & drink specials(they do serve alcohol). Their food is excellent and you can expect to clear your plate no matter what you decide to order. BUT save ROOM FOR FRIED ICE CREAM! (seeing a recurring theme?)

Little Mexico Cafe- Located near NW downtown GR. A very popular restaurant that has been around for MANY years. They actually serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have a familiar mexican food menu with a full bar. Their food is very good and quite frankly, you don't stay open as long as this place has unless you're doing something Right. They do have live music once in awhile.

Obviously we have over 60 mexican restaurants listed on our site so feel free to comment on other places also!

Thank You & Enjoy,

Chang’s introduced Triple Happiness Happy Hours offering Asian-inspired dim sum, street fare and premium cocktails from 3PM - 6PM* daily at the bar, dining room or patio.

Surviving the Desk Job: How to Stay Healthy at Work

By Stephanie S. Saunders

When we started school, oh so many years ago, no one had to explain to us that the human body was not designed to sit in a chair for 8 hours at a time. Somehow, we inherently knew that we needed recess, physical education, lunch, and even naptime. Even that walk uphill, both ways, in the snow, barefoot, was just part of what we needed to do. So we worked all of those years, graduated to our dream job, and ended up sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours without moving. Sure, we use the facilities, maybe go out to lunch, but mostly we sit on our backsides with horrible posture and stare at a computer screen. At around 4 PM, we begin to search for a pick-me-up, and end up eating candy and soda from the break room. Sure, at age 12, we thought free junk food was like winning the lottery. But as adults, we end up feeling flat-out yucky. We vow that tomorrow will be different, but we are so exhausted from a sedentary lifestyle, that change seems impossible.

The good news is that a desk job does not have to be so stagnant. If something in motion stays in motion, then we need to find ways to keep moving. And with a bit of food preparation, we can actually avoid the Snickers^Ã�Â® bar. Let's look at some ways to stay healthy at work.

Get Out of that Chair

Sometimes it seems impossible to step away from your desk. People in Hollywood get fired for missing a call, an email, or taking too long a lunch. Here is the deal: They cannot fire you for standing up, going to the bathroom, or getting more water from the cooler. If your workplace is not completely rigid, switching your chair out for a Swiss ball a few times a day can make a huge difference in your posture. Even just standing up next to your desk can give your back the break from compressing that it desperately needs. So stand up, roll your shoulders back a few times, and breathe deeply. Go fill up a water bottle, which will give you even more reasons to stand up, as you will need the restroom. And set a timer to go off once an hour, so that you remember to do it. Sometimes that Excel^® spreadsheet is so fascinating, we forget about everything else. (Yeah, right.)

Speaker or Tweaker?

Did you realize your phone can be dangerous? No, this is not a lecture on driving with cell phones. Cradling a phone to your shoulder for extended periods of time can actually lead to misalignment, strains, and slipped discs. They still make fancy phones with a cradle for your shoulder, but they don't extend quite high enough. Try a wireless or corded variety of headset, which sometimes can be less expensive than their Bluetooth^Ã�Â® cousins. Forty bucks on a headset is better than multiple trips to the chiropractor. Or if what you are discussing is not sensitive, put the person on speakerphone. The coworker next to you might not appreciate it, but your neck will.

Stretch

You can stretch your entire body in a cubicle - a lot of it while sitting down. Here are some stretching options, which will release lactic acid buildup and help with structural alignment.

Neck: Lean right ear to right shoulder until you feel a stretch along the left side of your neck, hold for 10 seconds, switch to the other side. Lower chin to chest until you feel a stretch along the back of your neck, hold for 10 seconds. Lift chin toward ceiling, until you feel a stretch along the front of your throat, hold for 10 seconds. Look over your right shoulder, hold for 10 seconds and then over your left.

Shoulders: Extend both arms over head, interlace fingers, turn palms, and push up. Then interlace fingers with palms up behind back, lean forward slightly from waist, and lift arms away from your body.

Arms: Extend arm straight across your body, grasp forearm, and pull extended arm toward your body. Repeat with other arm. Then sit up in your chair, open your knees, and place your palms flat on the chair between them, with your fingertips facing you, and thumbs toward your knees. Push down on your flat palms.

Chest: Lift both arms out to the side, creating a "T" with them. Bend at the elbows, so your hands are going straight up to the ceiling, and you resemble a football goalpost. Pull your elbows back and hold.

Back: Sit up as tall as you can, and pull in your stomach muscles to your spine. Extend one arm across to the opposite arm of the chair, and twist. Hold for 10 seconds, and switch to the other side.

Calves: Stand arms' length away from your desk, both toes facing the desk. Step forward with one foot, and bending the knee, keeping the back knee straight and pushing down in the heel. Switch.

Feet: Remove shoes if possible. Stand in front of desk. Form a "V" with your feet, heels together and toes pointed out at slight angles. Bend knees first, then lift up your heels, and hold for 5 seconds. Straighten knees and lower heels. Repeat 5 times.

Exercise Your Options

The following office exercise options are chair-based exercises for our more modest readers. If you are less aware of the stare, try adding some push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, dips, and squats to this routine. If you have an office with a door that closes, get yourself INSANITY^Ã�Â® right now and skip this entire section. For the following exercises, you'll need an exercise band, like the flat Thera-Band^Ã�Â® variety, which can easily be stored in your desk. And if your chair wheels easily, put the brake on now.

Chest press: Place band around back of chair, looping the ends of the band in each hand. Sit on the edge of your chair with abs pulled in tight, and straight posture. Press arms straight out in front of you, keeping them parallel to the ground. Hold for 2 counts. Fold elbows in and bring back of hands to chest. Repeat 10 times. Can also be used as chest fly, by slightly bending elbows and bringing hands together in front of you, like you are hugging a tree.

Row: Wrap resistance band around the leg of your desk. Sit facing it, both feet on ground, and abs pulled in. Grab one end of band in each hand; bend your arms and slide your elbows back, grazing the sides of your body. Hold for 2 counts, and return your arms to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.

Lateral raises: Sit on the edge of your chair, place both feet on the center of the band, and take an end of the band in each hand. Keeping a very slight bend in the elbow joint, bring both arms out to your sides creating a "T" with them. Hold for 2 counts, and lower your arms back to the sides of your legs. Repeat 10 times.

Posterior deltoid exercise: Hold band, hands 9 to 12 inches apart. Extend arms straight out in front of you, chest level, rolling shoulders back and down, keeping elbows as straight as possible. Open up arms to your sides, hold for 2 counts, and return your arms to the straight position. Repeat 10 times.

Curls: Sit on edge of chair and place both feet in center of band, or wrap band under the legs of the chair. Grab one end of band in each hand. Keeping elbows glued to your sides, bend both elbows and bring hands up toward shoulders. Hold for 2 counts, and lower your hands. Repeat 10 times.

Tricep extensions: Wrap band low around desk leg, and face away from it. Reach behind you, grab ends of band in each hand, and extend both hands to ceiling, with thumbs facing behind you. Hold for 2 counts. Keeping your elbows exactly where they are, let elbows bend slowly until hands reach ears. Extend arms straight toward ceiling again. Repeat 10 times.

Knee abs: Sit on edge of chair, tuck pelvis under slightly, and draw abs deeply into your spine. Lift your heels off the ground, and lift one knee at a time. For a super challenge, lift both knees at the same time, making sure to maintain a C-curve in your spine (keep your abs firmly tucked in). Repeat 10 times.

Leg extensions: Tie one end of band around the base of your chair. Tie the opposing end around your ankle. Sit firmly on chair, keeping backs of legs pressed into the chair. Extend wrapped leg out in front of you until knee is straight. Hold for 2 counts, and lower your leg. Repeat 10 times for each leg.

Hamstring curl: Wrap one end of band under leg of desk, up as high as it can go with other end of band tied to your ankle. Sit facing desk, on edge of chair, and extend leg toward desk. Bend knee and pull foot underneath you. Hold for 2 counts, and return to straight leg position. Repeat 10 times, and switch to other leg.

Chew on This

An ounce of prevention might be a pound of cure, but 4 ounces of carrot sticks will never be as tempting as that bowl of M&M's^Ã�Â® on your coworker's desk. So how do we avoid it? A handful of nuts, a protein bar, or some low-fat trail mix might not remove the craving, but they'll make your hunger dissipate until your next meal, and they don't require refrigeration. You can keep them in your desk at all times. So instead of the bowl, five M&M's might be enough.

Keep Water on Desk

Besides the previously mentioned reason to drink water (getting you out of your chair), hydration in an office setting is sorely overlooked. Your body requires a lot of water, even if you're stuck in a chair. Being well hydrated keeps you mentally alert, flushes out toxins from air conditioning, and will sometimes help with food cravings. So drink up.

Get out

This next tip totally depends on your employer. Most offices have at least a few smokers in them. How come they get to go outside and talk about their weekend, in the sunshine, several times a day? Just because you don't spend 8 dollars a day on cigarettes doesn't mean you can't take a moment and get some fresh air in your lungs. If your boss complains, scream discrimination against nonsmokers. Or you could pick up some candy cigarettes and pretend, as long as you avoid eating them.

It is no surprise that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports 67 percent of the population as being unhappy with their career choices. Is this because we all have chosen the wrong careers? Or is it simply that most office workers would rather be outside playing tetherball? As you are well aware, it's difficult to pay the mortgage unless you go to work. But there are many things you can do, while remaining at work, that will keep you feeling better than a Snickers will. Maybe if we all take a few minutes a day to take care of ourselves, that workplace contentment statistic might drop a little. And if that doesn't work, at least we can avoid the horizontal spread of our back ends. Now that is something to be happy about.

09/29/2011 - Eating Healthy on the Road!

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 08:00:00 GMT

How to eat healthy on the road in this crazy, busy world today? This is something that millions of people are faced with day in and day out due to life styles that don't allow us to stop or slow down! People are on the go from morning till night! So what pops into our head first? Of course, fast food!

So let's start there! Re-think what you would normally order! Say a burger, fries and soft drink! If you must have that burger, go bun-less (yes I said bun-less), no cheese, no mayo, no ketchup, pile the lettuce, tomato & onion on for taste. Mustard is OK in small amounts (high in sodium). Next, go for the baked potato w/ chives for flavor (no cheese, butter, etc.) instead of fries. No baked potato on the menu you say, then ask for extra veggies on your burger to fill you up! Last, the drink! Sugar in the soft drink will cause you to crash later and adds unnecessary calories that you could be eating, don't drink your calories! This goes for the soft drinks in disguise as well, sweet tea, dessert coffees, etc.! Your alternatives: natural tea w/ a slice of lemon or lime. I have found that it never hurts to ask for things like lemon or lime slices. You'll be surprised, they just might have it! If you must have it sweet, try buying some packets of Stevia in the raw (I like this since it is not a man made product, flavors pretty good too), store them in a baggie in your car or bag to have on hand when you need them! Of course there's always plain old black coffee too. Don't want the caffeine; try ice water w/ lemon or lime & a dash of salt (not too much)! Most people do not get enough water throughout the day, so here is a great chance to up your water intake for the day!

How about those salads! They're very good, healthy alternatives to sandwiches & burgers. Just make sure you pass on the creamy dressings, & toppings like cheddar cheese, blue cheese, candied pecans, salty crisps that are cracker like, etc. Ask for extra chicken or veggies instead!

Breakfast to go anyone: order plain eggs, scrambled or whole, no cheese. You can even order just egg whites at some fast food places! At McDonald's I pass on the hash browns and pair my eggs w/ an order of oatmeal made w/ water (not milk), hold the brown sugar and keep the fruit in it! A much better carbohydrate that won't spike your blood sugar; which means you won't get that tired groggy feeling or get hungry before lunch!

What I have found even at fast food restaurants is that you can order anything the way you want it, most of the time. I just order what I want and let them take care of how to order it! Most of the time it's less expensive to get just the eggs or just the chicken w/ a few extra veggies. Take for instance the grilled chicken sandwich at McDonalds; a good alternative to your burger. However, that white flour bun is full of empty calories that you don't need! Here's what I order instead and it costs less than a sandwich: two grilled chicken patties cut up, w/ lettuce & tomato, no mayo or dressing!

09/28/2010 - ArtPrize pics and info

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 08:00:00 GMT

Artprize is having another successful year in Grand Rapids.

I think it's nearly impossible for everyone to see every piece of art that has been entered and it's only going to get worse as this grows.

Which is bad for the artists who enter because you may see an entry after that competition is done that you would have voted for.

I'm going to post a bunch of pics that we took downtown on this site and create an ArtPrize 2010 video to post on the main page like the 2009 vid.

I can't even decide which one is my favorite yet...the stakes are high and I can't wait to see who ends up Winning.

photos will be in the album area

08/31/2010 - Need a GOOD PC game 4 the KIDS? Wizard 101 may be it

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 08:00:00 GMT

Just as a side note...
From a recommendation, I checked out wizard101.com which is an online MMORPG for kids. It's an online role playing game where you can find tons of other players.

The game is very easy to figure out and fun to play. My 5 year old and 8 year old are currently playing and enjoying it. It's visually entertaining, fun to upgrade and build your own character and it's FREE (to a certain point).

You can pretty much play and build your character up to level 10 without spending any money. Then you can't really do any more quests or goto new areas until you buy a subscription or 'CROWNS'.

Right now we are buying crowns and purchasing new areas just to see how it goes.

So if you have kids and they need something fun to do on a rainy day or in the evening, check out www.Wizard101.com and try it for FREE. See what they think

Wizard 101

I have checked out so called similar FREE online games but they just don't STICK like this one does with the kids.

Feel free to leave any comments or recommendations for other games

06/07/2010 - Reviews for Best Hair Replacement Restoration in Grand Rapids Mi

Mon, 07 Jun 2010 08:00:00 GMT

What is the best hair restoration replacement office in Grand Rapids Michigan?

The real truth about Hair Replacement and restoration and the alternatives.
Can you really use restoration for large balding areas on your head? Non surgical hair replacement hairpieces and wigs are readily available on the market and are also the most common system for hiding thinning hair. If you have a large bald spot on your head or are completely bald, then this is the only alternative. You can get a full head of hair or just a little more and you'd be surprised at how natural it really looks.

Surgical hair replacement also know as hair transplants are another route for correcting the problem but obviously this is a surgical procedure. This system requires you to use your existing hair to fill in the areas that are balding. So you do need healthy thick hair on the sides and back of your head for use as donor

areas. If you want a smaller change in hair coverage on your head, this may be a great idea for you.

Of course you can use chemicals such as minoxidil or propecia but they may not give you the results you are looking for or you may not like the side effects. Then there is the cost of using the products because you have to take them regularly.

There are also methods you may not be aware of such as laser light therapy, Sensi-Graft and NEW products & services are being introduced to the market constantly.

Feel free to fill in the contact form below for a FREE Consultation about your hair loss. We work with only the best restoration offices in West Michigan so you don't have to spend TONS of time trying to research all of them.

Don't wait! It's FREE and you only live once!
