Lifestyle changes are hard, especially when it comes to food. About two months ago, my husband and I decided to make a change in our diets. Since he doesn’t like it when I talk about him in my columns, I’ll focus on what we’re doing and why I took the leap. In a nutshell, it’s the Wobbema low-carb diet. We simply eat more grams of protein, and fewer simple sugars and carbohydrates. I’m doing it because it makes me feel better. I don’t need all that bread, baked goods, pasta and potatoes. I...

For the next few weeks, I’ll watch the palette change. In North Dakota, it’s a lot of yellow. You have to search for the reds and oranges, an...
