It’s so easy! And homemade croutons taste SO good. Mostly because they’re homemade – all that focused effort and TLC just makes homemade food taste delicious. What to put them on: throw them on salads, toss them in soups. They’re great for adding texture to any dish. You can even throw them in your food […]
Back in July I wrote about about Wholesome Wave’s Fruit and Vegetable Prescriptipn Program, an initiative designed to connect low income folks with nutrition related medical issues (overweight, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, etc.) to more fresh produce. Doctors write and refill their patients’ produce perscriptions which can be filled at the local farmers market. I mentioned: I […]
One of my goals in life is to get people cooking more. Not only will healthy home cooking lead to a healthier being, cooking is a basic human skill that can and should be carried throughout life. There are many reasons that people don’t cook more – and believe me, I’ve heard them all. But […]
Inspired by the Meatless Monday movement, I thought it would be great to equally promote a Workout Wednesday crusade, encouraging any and everyone to either start exercising or exercise more. David – a great runner and athlete in general–and I’m not just saying that because he’s my boyfriend – checks out FloTrack often. FloTrack is a […]
Last night I had the opportunity to create my own spread for 13 people. George and Colleen had some friends over for drinks and dinner, and gave me free reign to tear up their (once) beautiful kitchen. Not to worry, the kitchen is making its way back to some sense of order – slowly, but […]

A bit overdue, I think. But great, nonetheless. Initiated by the non-profit Wholesome Wave, The Fruit & Vegetable Prescription Program was launched this past Tuesday in NYC in an effort to expose overweight and obese families to more locally grown fruits and vegetables. Through this 4-6 month program, each person in the family earns $1 […]
You may have heard – for quite some time now – that those oh so tasty char marks on your grilled food contains cancer-causing properties. It’s sad, but true, according to a large growing body of evidence. When high heat temperatures come into contact with specific amino acids and creatine on meat, carcinogenic compounds, called […]
Holidays come and go, but your healthy eating habits most certainly should not. No, I’m not saying you should pass up the all American blueberry pie or the creamy potato salad. But skimping down on your portion sizes of all your favorite July 4th dishes will prevent you from feeling the pains of overeating and […]
During my daily nutrition reads, I stumbled upon this great new study: Carcinoma of the Breast: Risk Reduction Through Dietary Modification in Pubertal and Adolescent Females Nicole Lazarri MS, RD is Founder and Chief Nutrition Officer at Nourish Our Girls, an educational campaign which raises awareness about young girls’ food choices may increase or decrease […]
