Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

In honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday today, Dining is offering special Seuss-themed treats:
  • Thing 1 and Thing 2 cupcakes for $2.25
  • 
    Thing 1 & Thing 2 cupcakes - red velvet cake and blue icing
    
  • Cat in the Hat cookies for $1.35
Why are cookies and cupcakes on a healthy eating blog?  There is a reason - all foods can fit into a healthy lifestyle.  If you try to completely avoid ALL sugary dessert-type foods, you'll be a real drag at parties. (Ok, that's not my real take on this situation.) Seriously, being overly rigid or restrictive in your eating habits is an unhealthy approach to nutrition and can lead to over-indulging when you "give in" or "give up" on your strict dietary rules.  It's better to have a cookie or cupcake when the mood strikes.  If you include these items here and there in your intake, your desire for these types of treats is less likely to build up and overwhelm you later.

So if you're into red velvet cupcakes and cookies shaped like a beloved Seuss character, today is your day to have a little something fun!

In honor of the wonderfully creative Theodor Seuss Geisel, I plan to read Green Eggs and Ham to my baby tonight.  What is your favorite Dr. Seuss story?
