Lard's fat is mostly monounsaturated

The news of the day for me has to be the Lard article in the news below. It states:

'Now you could even argue that lard is the better choice. As Jennifer McLagan points out in her celebrated book Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, With Recipes, lard's fat is also mostly monounsaturated, which is healthier than saturated fat. And even the saturated fat in lard has a neutral effect on blood cholesterol.'

Continuing on with the food topic, have you ever tried celery sticks with peanut butter? It's our delicious, healthy snack of the moment.

Remembering Paris is running Inch by Inch art Tuesday and it will be a treat stopping by all the participating blogs to check out their creativity.
