Get 2010 off to a great start with these helpful comments from our readers. On this week’s list: Thai take-out from your own kitchen, plus resolutions for a healthy new year.

From Dining Out: Thai:
“I really love my pad thai. I also know how bad it can be for you when you let restaurants make it for you, which is why I often make a substitute of my own. For the dressing, I mix 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp soy sauce and rice vinegar, garlic, cilantro, and curry powder, and toss that with 2 oz of cooked pasta.” –Food Makes Fun Fuel

From Coconut Water: Is It Worth The Hype?:
