If you were a fly on my wall, you would hear a lot of laughing. And it would mostly be Joe laughing after I’ve said, “I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?” He isn’t really laughing at me (well, maybe a little), but he is definitely laughing at the fact I have …
I got up early today, just like I had planned. I tackled my To Do List, and I even took chicken broth to my Mom who has an ear infection, a sinus infection, and bronchitis. It made me ponder how thankful I am that I am not sick. And then I washed my hands. For …
My week is a chaotic mix of To Do Lists and Deadlines. I know, everyones’ lives are like that in their own ways (which is why I thought I’d mention it). In spite of the chaos, I’m realizing a few things about how I’ve changed over time. I don’t start my workdays in a frenzy …

In the winter, I’m not very enthusiastic about green smoothies or juice, but I do like to eat a lot of salads. See, since I dropped grains out of my diet, I’ve had some people pick on me about how all I’m eating is cheese and meat (lots of Atkins Diet jokes coming my way). …
I’ve been pretty boring in the kitchen lately—and when I’ve tried to get creative, all I end up with is a big mess. Since I decided to be “grain-free,” I’ve been using almond and coconut flours when I make things requiring flour (like waffles and….um, waffles). Almond and coconut flour are both pretty expensive, so …

Happy New Year, Friends! I had a great New Year’s Eve with Joe and some of his friends (they’re really our friends, but they started out as his). We went to Ithaca and drank, ate, and danced. Joe and I weren’t out the latest, and we didn’t drink the most, but we had a ton …

I love all things coconut. Coconut is super high in saturated fat. I’ve learned so much about saturated fat over the last few years—the nutritional scape goat villain of the last few decades turns out to be not at all what I thought. Did you know that saturated fat studies (you know, the ones that …
Every day of this week so far, I thought it was Friday. Eventually, I’ll be right, but time is crawling! I think it’s because I’m counting down–to this weekend (Matthew comes over), till the end of the semester and a break from teaching (online too) (the 19th-ish till Jan 2nd), till people start visiting for …
Good afternoon 🙂 I’m teaching 8 classes and I’ve been a big slacker in researching things for friends/clients (but I’ll admit, I’ve been researching the things that interest me the most…). Often, when I am trying to help someone improve their health, we have to find substitutions for “old” habits—without that, we’re bound to try …

Happy Saturday! I’m going to spend the remainder of the weekend in yoga teacher training (I wish there was wi-fi there—then I could be like my nutrition students and pretend I’m listening, but really be chatting and playing on the Internet…just kidding, I wouldn’t do that!). I want to tell you a few random things …
