AppId is over the quota

Whether you're excited or less-than-stoked for the reported Real Housewives of New Jersey spin-off featuring Caroline Manzo and her family, there is no arguing that the Manzos are an interesting bunch. You have Albie who is arguably the most handsome son to emerge out of the Housewives franchise and then the whole situation with them owning the Brownstone. But my favorite player of the Manzo clan? Lauren Manzo.
Struggling with her weight on national television can't be an easy thing. Lauren's been battling to drop pounds ever since she underwent lap band surgery in September 2011 and recently posted a photo of her diet efforts on Twitter (right). Looks like Lauren Manzo's weight loss efforts have been kicked into HIGH gear.
Let's get real: We could look at a zillion bikini body photos, but something like this is much more impressive. I like to see celebs work hard to get a great bod. This intense portion control, this is something that you and I normal folk can appreciate.
... and it works, too. Back when I was really trying to shed pounds, I always found putting things into small Tupperware and planning for the day to be tedious (because it is). The truth, though, is that although planning takes effort, that effort pays off. Look at all of the awesome options that Lauren has laid out up there. You can see just by looking at her array of treats that she's prepared, and she most definitely won't go hungry.
Just think about what could happen if she didn't prepare. Instead of having ALL of those things to nosh on over the course of a full day, lady could have opted for a horribly "healthy" salad that's actually 1,200 calories alone at a nearby bodega. I don't know about you all, but I'd rather munch the whole day through for 1,200 calories than eat it all within 12 minutes.
Kudos to Lauren on putting the work in. Now, excuse me while I go satisfy my raspberry craving. Thanks, Laur.
Are you good at planning ahead when you're on a diet, or do you find it to be tedious?

Is it just me, or is everyone else's Facebook feed dominated with posts about drinking tumeric tea? I'm not kidding, my friends are REALLY into the stuff. The way people talk about it, you'd think turmeric had superpowers that help you fly and poo rainbows. That's a lot to ask of a spice -- but turmeric has a big personality. It's hella yellow, as those of you who've cooked with it can tell you. But what else? I looked into the secrets of tumeric, and now I can tell you what all the fuss is about.

Ready for a secret? Actress Sara Gilbert hopes so. The Talk co-host was spilling them this week in a special week of letting the cat out of the bag, and her's has as much to do with her one-time Roseanne star Johnny Galecki as it does herself.
On tonight's one-hour season finale of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, we'll get to witness Mama June and Sugar Bear finally say "I do" in a commitment ceremony that is months in the making. Judging by the sneak peek trailers, shiny pink lip gloss will be worn, Honey Boo Boo will look absolutely adorable in a totally age-appropriate fuchsia flower girl dress, and Mama June will demonstrate for us all

Despite the rumors running rampant the past few days, saying Lamar Odom was missing and likely on some sort of drug bender, 
Honestly, it would take a pretty big uh-oh to mess up the perfection that is a brownie. Throw some chocolate and sugar in there (and, you know, some of those other vital ingredients), and you've got yourself a crowd-pleaser.
Let me start by saying kimchi is for the brave. You've probably heard of it by now. Most people know kimchi as spicy, Korean-style fermented cabbage. But actually, kimchi can be made with all kinds of vegetables, like radish, cucumber, or even pumpkin. Now that kimchi has hit the mainstream, you'll see it topping everything from ramen to hot dogs. It adds a pungent heat to whatever you're eating. But did you also know it's mad healthy, too? You may not want to face another cold season without kimchi.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you probably don't love working out every day all the time. It's OK, neither do I. Half the time when it's time to workout, I'd SO much rather be lying on the couch catching the tail-end of Hoda and Kathie Lee gabbing during the fourth hour of Today. So when I do work out, I want that sweaty commitment to really count. Right? Right.
I have a confession to make. I have sort of been pulling for Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers to stay together, if for no other reason than to piss off her fellow housewives and family. I really can't stand the way they tell her how to live her life, while they aren't such great partner pickers themselves. On the show's finale, it started to become apparent to everyone that Vicki's son-in-law didn't have her best interests at heart as he bossed her around her own home and

Let's face it, most of us with kids have way too many chicken nuggets in our lives. Be they from your freezer or ordered from a restaurant menu, there's never a shortage of nuggets. And for good reason -- kids love them. But enough is enough. 
Have you taken a close look at Wendy's new logo? It's been out for almost a year, and there's one little detail that's got people arguing: The ruffles in Wendy's collar seem to spell out "MOM." Is this a secret message to moms and kids or just a crazy coincidence?
