Goodbye 2020, It’s Been Real! December 29, 2020
If there is one year I think we can all agree that we want to be over is 2020. It's been a hell of a year indeed! It's been a year of changes; we've experienced things that we perhaps never quite saw coming. Many of us feel forever changed. And with the new year ahead hopefully we can all approach it in a slightly different way than we have before. Forget resolutions, forget setting huge, unrealistic goals, but rather start each day with gratitude and an open heart.

Thanksgiving has come and gone and for many of us it looked a lot different than last year. Personally I didn't even cook a turkey! Since it was just hubby and I (and yes, Cooper!!!) I roasted a chicken instead. I am sure the next few weeks will also present differently than past holiday seasons - but hopefully that won't stop most of us from still spreading holiday cheer!
Read MoreTo Scoop Or Not To Scoop? November 21, 2020
To scoop or not to scoop that is the question? I'm a die-hard scooper and the main reason is to make more room for all the goodness that goes into the sandwich. For example, one of my favorite sandwiches is tuna - classic tuna with regular mayo. If I didn't scoop this bagel (pictured above), all the veggies, such as, lettuce, onion, tomato and cucumber, wouldn't fit.

It's hard to think of anything today other than the election. I hope you voted early, mailed in your ballot, OR are voting in-person today! Each and everyone us needs to cast our vote more than ever!!! Inhale, exhale...repeat!

Thought it was time for a little call out to those of you who do not like to cook. You do NOT need to feel guilty. I have always believed you can still be healthy with never cooking a single meal. It comes down to choices!!! Lately with new little puppy I haven't had much time to spend in the kitchen so I've been doing a lot of taking-in and ordering-in. I just think of it as if I was preparing a home-made meal: Do I have a veggie? Do I have a protein? And do I have a healthy carb?
Read MoreCan Candy Actually Kill You? October 6, 2020
Let's be honest - sometimes life is difficult. Even when you expect nothing but joy from something or someone - that joy can actually bring difficulty. At the end of the day, it's about how you manage expectations, how you react to unexpected outcomes, and ultimately find balance and sanity. Squeezing a little leg stretch while trying to train Cooper is definitely an example of me trying to find balance AND yes, simply trying to stay sane!

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!
Read MoreIs Your Diet Making You Gain Weight? August 25, 2020
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!
Read MoreMargarita’s Anyone? August 11, 2020
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!
