Global hit "Riverdance" takes over Atlanta’s Fox Theatre: 

How do you even begin to describe the phenomenon that is "Riverdance?"

For more than 25 years, audiences around the world have sat spellbound by the live theatrical event, thanks to its high-powered original score and breathtaking Irish and international dancing. And this weekend, it’s Atlanta’s turn to once again experience the global hit.

The 25th anniversary tour of "Riverdance" takes over the Fox Theatre stage for a five-show engagement starting tonight and continuing with two shows each on Saturday and Sunday. The tour was mounted to commemorate the anniversary of the show’s premiere at The Point Theatre in Dublin back in 1995, and features a complete re-recording of the original Grammy-winning score by composer Bill Whelan along with new costume and stage designs.

Showtimes at the Fox Theatre are 8 p.m. tonight, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets range from $34 to $99, and are available online — click here for more information on the show.

No Sugar Baker Jayne Jones gives tips on making yummy treats without sugar: The holiday season might be over, but there’s some big events coming up and they all involve food. From the Super Bowl to Valentine’s Day, how can you make some of your favorites minus all the unhealthy sugar? Jayne’s got the inside scoop. Added sugar has taken the spotlight as the ingredient to avoid in the modern diet. On average, Americans eat about 17 teaspoons of added sugar each day.  10% of the American population is either diabetic or pre-diabetic. Most sugars are hidden within processed foods, so people don’t even realize they’re eating it. All this sugar may be a key factor in several major illnesses, including heart disease and diabetes. Sugar goes by many different names, so it can be difficult to figure out how much of it a food actually contains. During processing, sugar is added to food to enhance flavor, texture, shelf life, or other properties. Added sugar is usually a mixture of simple sugars such as sucrose, glucose, or fructose. Other types, such as galactose, lactose, and maltose, are less common. Checkout the recipe below:
