I don’t count calories. I don’t look at how many grams of sugar is in a serving of any single food. I don’t generally pay attention to the amount of fat or the percent of my daily recommended amount of carbohydrates I will consume. There was a time in my life when I paid close … More I don’t count calories
{Disclaimer: I am not a registered dietician, but I play one on TV. No, not really. But I do play one at my house, does that count?} There are a lot of reasons to celebrate March in our house: our oldest has a birthday, it brings March Madness (basketball tournament time), and it holds the … More National Nutrition Month (R)
As we approach the end of month 2 of the breakfast project, I have realized just how much cereal is consumed in our house. It’s not surprising, given my husband’s proclivity for the food: he frequently reminds me that he used to creep downstairs after he had been put to bed, and his mom and … More What to look for in a cereal
Just before Christmas my dad sent me an email telling me that he had found a calendar perfect for someone like me. No, it was not a calendar that gave parents more sleep. No, not one that did your sit-ups and lunges for you. A calendar that highlighted the food and nutrition-related “holidays” each month. … More Hot tea. For my hotties.
An old friend of mine from high school founded and writes for the website Smart Eating For Kids, a website that believes that healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle, is attainable by anyone.

I can’t believe that the last time I posted was before Christmas. Seriously? I’ve been busy…but not that busy. Truth is, the free time I have had for thinking about writing – and actually writing – has been spend thinking about writing about food. And since I started writing about food elsewhere, this blog has … More food on the brain
Well, I put out the call and one person – yes, just one – answered. At least it was the person I was actually calling to by name. Thanks Rebecca. If you’re curious about what I actually ended up planning for Christmas dinner, you can read all about it here. If you could not care … More christmas plea
{Probably not my most poignant post, but taking the time to write again felt oh so good.} Prompted by a recent article in Time Magazine, I assert (again) at Just Add Spinach that there are more than just nutritional reasons to know your local farmers and buy what they are growing. With that said, for … More where to shop for food
There are many things that I am grateful for today. My husband and I have gainful employment, we can pay our bills, we have a roof over our heads and heat in our house. Tim likes his job – he is supported and affirmed every day. I have recently been given the opportunity to explore … More giving thanks
I’ve been wanting to put a recipe up over at Just Add Spinach for a while now (although it feels like I’ve been tossing ideas around for just a few days, it’s probably, realistically, closer to several weeks) but when it came time to put pen to paper {so to speak}, I couldn’t decide on … More tastes of fall
