Is Coconut Oil Healthy? September 22, 2020
Say hello to Cooper Hank, named after his 4-legged brother Henry, the newest addition to my family!!! I've learned some very important things from having him this past week: 1. There is definitely something wrong with people who don't smile at puppies (Yes, I can tell through their mask!), 2. Patience is BEYOND a virtue. and 3. LOVE can happen very quickly!

Goodbye summer! Can't say you were like any others I've ever had before! Must of it was spent in NYC adapting to a new lifestyle. Not sure what the fall will bring, but I promise I am ready for you!

The other day I was out for dinner with a friend! We ate outside and met at 5:30pm to avoid any potential for crowds (and truthfully, I like starting early!). As we ate (and drank) we spoke about how special it is these days to actually meet a friend in person; something that perhaps pre-pandemic life we took a little for granted. This night I did everything I could to not cancel (something last minute came up and I still made it work), be ON-TIME, and already set up our next dinner date. We can definitely learn a lot from this virus, and one of those things should be how important friendships are!

I enjoy a hamburger without a bun. Not that I don't LOVE bread because I do and eat it practically daily, but a doughy bun does nothing for me! I also LOVE fries, but don't always need to have along side a hamburger; for example, in this case I was craving pasta and salad. Many of you always ask though it is OK to eat beef to begin with? My answer is always yes, but thought it would be helpful to dedicate a podcast episode examining the facts. Take a listen here: "Can Does Beef Fit Into a Health Diet and Our Planet?. Let me know your thoughts!

It's officially corn season!!! For YEARS, I have dehusked, rubbed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper, wrapped in foil, then threw onto a hot grill, turning every couple of minutes. This year, I only dream about it! BUT, just because I don't have a grill to use doesn't mean I am not enjoying corn! It's just different. Now, I dehusk, wrap in saran wrap, and microwave for @3 minutes per ear. I also enjoy in pasta dishes by slicing it off the cob raw, sautéing with garlic & oil and other veggies. Sometimes it's just a matter of shifting gears, not totally giving up!

I did it - took my first subway ride since March. And guess what? People wore masks, the subway was NOT crowded and social distancing was in order. Can't say how it will be another time, but on this day I felt safe. Phew! It's definitely the little things we do now that can bring some sense of normalcy to our lives. In other news - still have not gotten a pedicure and am kinda getting use to this whole no polish thing! Who am I?

SO, this was a first. My first outside eating and drinking experience with a friend since March. We chose a place with no waiter or waitress, no menu, order at the takeout window and just help yourself to a table. Our table was on the sidewalk, socially distanced from other tables, and it seemed like all pedestrians walking by had masks on. It felt GOOD. It also felt WEIRD. Who knows how long any of this will last?

Just thought I'd take a quick moment here and remind everyone that even though COVID-19 numbers are going down, they are also going up! I know it seems like a lifetime that we've been practicing social distancing and wearing masks, etc. BUT this virus is NOT over. I know it's hard, especially as the weather warms up and we want to visit with our friends and family. But please be smart, be patient, and remember to think of others. We've come so far, I would hate to see us back to square one!

Right now our world might seem a little crazy. AND that couldn't even be an understatement. But during times of stress it is really important to try your best to take of yourself. Being active, eating well and getting a good night's sleep might seem overwhelming, but even striving for a little more of it versus a little less can be a step in the right direction!

Hope everyone is staying safe, healthy and sane during this unprecedented time. I know I am trying my best. Just remember, go easy on yourself. If you're not eating as healthy as you think you should, or becoming this amazing home chef, or not exercising as much as you want, now is not the time to indulge in self-hate. AND just because it seems others around you might be, who really cares!
