San Francisco is a foodie city with more than enough restaurants to satisfy any craving. The last few times I've made reservations at places that usually require them, I've looked around thinking that I didn't need to bother calling ahead. The one exception was when I dined at the Italian restaurant
that changed its pricing scheme to offer cheaper portions of the same quality dishes.

Weight is one of those topics that makes almost everyone feel uncomfortable. Calling out a person's weight gain or loss not only puts them on the spot, but it can easily do a number on their self-esteem. If Thanksgiving is the holiday that brings your family together, chances are you'll be seeing some relatives you haven't seen for a while, so if they comment on your weight, here are some ways to hold your own.

This vegetarian cranberry-pear wild rice stuffing is made with whole grain bread instead of the usual white or sourdough, and does not call for even a dab of butter.

I'll give you the name of a food and a calorie amount and you tell me if it contains more or less calories.

Thanksgiving is a gluttonous holiday, and when sharing a table with others it is easy to lose your moderate ways and over indulge in a foodie version of keeping up with the Joneses. I am here to remind you to stick to your guns and remember your willpower. I have a few tricks to share, just in case you feel yourself succumbing to the chow down peer pressure.

When we talk about food rich in antioxidants — disease-fighting nutrients — all sorts of Summer berries come to mind. Even though these berries may be hard to come by in cooler months, there are still plenty of Winter foods chock full of antioxidants. To see if you are already enjoying these foods, start the slideshow to learn what they are.

Oops! Nestlé did it again. In July, Nestlé
recalled some Lean Pockets for having plastic bits in them, and now the company has announced it is
recalling 879,565 pounds of Lean Cuisine frozen chicken meals for the same reason.

Parsnips are more than just craggy looking albino carrots. They are tasty tubers that are worth learning to love, and I don't think you will have to work hard to love them. Nutritionally speaking,
parnips are like a cross between carrots and potatoes.
