Hooray for a three-day weekend that is especially meaningful for our little military family. Last year, we visited the Arlington National Cemetery, and this year we are thinking about going to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific on Monday. For the next couple days, though, I’ll be relaxing just a short (short for me, that is) plane ride away in Tahoe, CA at a girls’ weekend. My friend Amber is getting married in a couple months, so we’re all gathering up to celebrate with activities including a wine tasting and a gourmet cooking class. Obviously, Amber is one of my nutrition friends.

This weekend is not historically the healthiest for most people, but here are some less egregious and very delicious sounding picnic ideas. Also, for your reading pleasure, some coverage of the omega-3 deficiency I mentioned a couple days ago. Have a fantastic weekend!
