buy Lyrica medicine Can Probiotics Help You Lose Weight? June 19, 2018

"I can see for miles and miles".......some of you might not know these lyrics from The Who; but, for some reason this song just pops into my head when I see all these berries! Anyway, I LOVE berries, actually any kind of berry, I don't discriminate. And every year when they first arrive at the farmers market I get really excited. For me, this marks the beginning of summer and for all the other yummy summer foods that lie ahead! #TheLittleThings

Did You Say Cockroach Milk? June 5, 2018

In case you forgot, portion size matters! And not just in unhealthy foods, but believe it or not also in some of the healthiest of foods. Take salmon for example; it's packed with good-for-you nutrients, but calories WILL add up if your portion is too large. Pictured above is a piece of salmon that weighed 6 ounces UN-cooked; and that is even a little bit more than the recommended standard of 4 ounces.

Bad Eating Habits Even Nutritionists Have! May 22, 2018

I feel the need to quickly clear something up. This is for all the naysayers out there who think that canned foods are "bad" for you. That couldn't be further from the truth. Just like anything you buy that is in any type of packaging you need to read the nutrition facts panel and ingredient list and see what it provides. If it hadn't been for me keeping canned foods in the house I would of never been able to create the delicious and nutritious pasta meal featured above in less than 15 minutes flat.

Do You Need A Multivitamin? May 18, 2018

This past week in NYC the temps sky rocketed. Now I for one, am NOT complaining; love the heat!!! But living in a not so large NYC apartment with a not so large kitchen - makes you not want to turn the oven on when it hits anything over 80 degrees. So the other night I decided to go for take-out! Gasp! What many people don't realize is that takeout food doesn't have to be synonymous with disaster. You can actually choose healthy foods and that is exactly what I did: shrimp cocktail, black bean salad, barley salad, and a little mozzarella with tomatoes.

Spring Is In The Air May 4, 2018

Yep, it's that time of year again. My annual street photo of NYC in bloom. Ohhhhh SPRING, how I have missed you!!! And just like clockwork, all my clients start revving up their fitness and healthy eating to get ready for Memorial Day Weekend. The more things change, the more things stay the same! Sound familiar? Anyway, I won't bore you with my usual rant of why wasn't everyone focused ALL year round on their personal health goals, and why just get focused today, blah, blah, blah; BUT instead I am just going to be thankful that a light bulb went off in their head and they want to be on track NOW.

9 Unusual Ways to Eat Hummus April 24, 2018

My husband was recently in the hospital for spinal surgery and whenever this happens (unfortunately he has had previous surgeries) I am reminded of the importance of self-care. While trying to be the best possible "nurse", I can easily wind up forgoing exercise and letting my refrigerator wind up empty. And that my friends, is a mistake! You can only be a helpful caregiver if you first take care of yourself. It's like being on an airplane, when you should put your oxygen mask on before your child.

Collagen Madness April 10, 2018

I just got back from sunny Scottsdale, AZ, from a sponsored trip to the Produce for Better Health Consumer Connection conference. The main focus of the conference is to get together all stakeholders in the country with a common mission of getting consumers to eat more fruits and veggies. You might wonder why a conference like that is needed, but perhaps wonder more why is it that only 1 in 10 Americans are eating enough fruits and veggies daily.

Bad Nutrition Advise, Oh MY! April 2, 2018

For years I stopped eating salmon. I don't really know why, it just seems I woke up one morning and lost my taste for it. But fast forward to today, and I eat it all the time. If I recall I went to an event, where there was nothing else I liked, ordered the salmon and was like, hmmm, this taste good! And just like that our relationship was mended. The funny thing is I have had this happen with other foods, some that I am now eating and others that I still have no desire for.

How Trendy Are You? March 21, 2018

Typically I never order a salad for lunch. I am by far a sandwich lover - love my carbs! So if I am going to order a salad it has to really call my name. This past weekend I was in Florida visiting with the fam and Sunday we all went to an Italian restaurant for brunch and my name was called by the Tuscan salad. Hello, white beans, feta and avocado! I noticed a hard-boiled egg on another salad so I asked for one as well; wanted extra protein.

Less Sugar, But Not Less Desserts! March 9, 2018

The above picture was taken this past week at a cocktail making course. As many of you already know I am a die-hard vodka martini lover. And not just any martini, technically it's not even a martini since there is NO vermouth, but Kettle One up with olives. So, when I decided to join my pal, Jackie, to learn to make other types of cocktails I was really stepping out. Rum? Bourbon? Gin? Are you kidding me?
