Weight be damned, I love this photo. Your family has such expressive faces, beautiful skin and you all look so happy. This is generations of women and their love.

Beautiful photo! You’ll be so glad you have this some day. My grandmother passed away the year before I got pregnant with my first daughter and I often think about how much joy my girls would have brought to her.

you could substitue with honey. the important thing is to cut the sour from the lemon juice. it might take more than one or two TBS though, usually equal amts. I poured a little of the sauce over the baked chicken (if you do it in the hot baking dish, the sauce glazes abit) and served the rest in a gravy boat.

I wouldn’t worry too much. Both sides of my family have various weight and health issues brought on by the extra pounds. Though fighting genetics is ridiculous, it is a motivation for me to eat mostly right and get up off the couch more often than not. That’s something my relatives didn’t do.

I’m a new reader! Hi there!

I know what you mean about heavy genes. My family is a bit overweight, (except my mother who has recently gone all anorexic!), but my hsuband’s family is filled with obese women. I fear that my kids will inherit those genes, and have the weight problems that they do.

Nice to know someone else thinks like i do!

I love that picture – not only have you got 4 generations (!!) but it is a lovely photo to boot.
Thanks from me as well to your Auntie Keren for revealing the yummy secret lemon sauce. I just have one question: could you subsitute honey for the Splenda? If so, how much do you think would work – maybe 1 or 2 Tbsp?

Wow! 4 generations. You’re so lucky to get that picture.

My body is starting to look more and more like my Mom’s. I would rather not go in that direction. I’m also starting to sound more like her, and that’s scarier than the body thing.

I absolutely love photos like this. It is so beautiful to see four generations of women together – the strength and grace represented. The history and the future. Thanks for sharing! And you all look beautiful too.

I love seeing generation pictures like this! I know what you mean about genetics, we all have something in our family history we’re struggling against. I know at some point I’ll probably develop glaucoma but there isn’t anything I can do about that so I try not to think about it. At least with weight you have a chance, there is something you can do!

ps. you look fantastic
