Best Soy, Worst Soy, Should You Eat Soy?
Um, not the most appetizing selection of foods, would you agree? I could write about my friends coming over to cook Friday. We made delicious red lentil soup and I learned the most efficient way to cut cauliflower. I also could write about the NYC marathon yesterday...
Post Halloween Baked Apple "Methadone"
For those of you having trouble saying goodbye to the Halloween candy, we’ve passed the 48-hour point and it’s time for your stash to go. We realize this may be traumatizing and so, as a healthy consolation prize, we’re offering up one of our fall favorites. ...
Reunion Diet
I had my 20th high school reunion this past Saturday (which makes me 38 years old, I’ll save you the math). Between Facebook and the fact that my high school is local, there wasn’t a great deal of suspense. Nonetheless, emails circulated among a few of my good...
Ignore Candy Calories this Halloween
This is a repost BUT when I last posted it I think only 3 people (myself included) read this blog. It sums up how I feel about Halloween and leaves me a little more time to get ready for the Halloween with my ghostbuster and stay puff marshmallow man. Is it in poor...
Meeting Dr Oz and What he Eats for Breakfast
I am not easily impressed and rarely star struck. To me, people are people and famous or professionally successful are not attributes that will wow me at face value. It’s only when meeting someone that I can really get a real sense. Is their eye contact or...
Cooking Homework
I am jealous of my kids. It's not because they get to play sports every day or can take three bites of ice cream and feel full or even their ten hours of sleep each night. Nope, I am jealous of their homework. I covet their list of assignments, their notebooks with...
Bore Yourself Thin
"Variety's the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor."William Cowper, British Poet Much of the resounding nutrition advice hinges on variety. Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables or eat a variety foods as you’re more likely to meet your nutritional needs...
A Second Slice of Pie (for Charity)
Wednesday, I was about to get on a call with a writer for Oxygen Magazine about, of all things, whether or not to eat before exercise. As I sat at my desk reviewing my notes, I received an email from a client. She forwarded something she received from The Leukemia...
Reference Jeans and Fat Clothes
I couldn't find a photo of the gold dress. I am not one of those people who can tell you what I weighed at various milestones in my life. I could tell you what I wore. Growing up, my mother delighted in helping me select clothing for special occasions. In rare moments...
Michael Pollan, Gluten and our Favorite New Snack
This morning we sent out our monthly morsels newsletter entitled “Gluten Free You and Me?” Gluten seems to be on many of our minds. Market Melissa is going to tell you more about our take on the GF scene. Not so long ago gluten free was reserved solely for those...
Coffee Talk: Is it good or bad and should you give it up?
I am biased. When I read a study with conclusions in favor of something I like, I am sucked in. Headlines such as “good news for social drinkers”, “how cheese may save your life“ or “the benefits of being glued to your laptop” would get me to read and possibly hunt...
Holding It
As I mentioned in Friday’s post, last week I attended an event for Mom Energy at the original Organic Avenue location. On our way down, after the “bite size” incident, Melissa and I spoke. I told Melissa that I feel I walk away from Ashley’s talks learning...
