I love cereal. A lot. I try not to buy it because I have been known to eat an entire box throughout the course of a day–once I start, I just can’t stop. As a result, I am trying to find good alternatives to cereal that contain real healthy and satisfying ingredients. Today, this is …
Hemp is a plant protein, which is good for you because it provides you with amino acids you need without other junk or the need for breaking down in the body. The benefit to this is that if your body doesn’t have to break down protein into amino acids, it can (1) use the amino acids …
I’m not a fan of resolutions, possibly because I am terrible at upholding them.

Matthew and I had a great day yesterday—we stayed inside except for a quick trip to Wegmans for a piece of haddock and some ranch dressing. Matthew really wanted fish for lunch, and since I refused to take him to McDonald’s (which would be his first choice for a fish sandwich), I had to talk him into …
My nephew is spending a couple days with me, and this always presents a fun food challenge. He ate a big salad for dinner last night, and that was great. But, in general, we face some challenges about how to compromise on my priorities (healthy) and his (tasting and looking good). We stopped at Wegmans …
