6 Fun Ways To Enjoy Watermelon! July 28, 2020

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!

Why YOU Should Be Eating MORE Veggies! July 14, 2020

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?

8 Unusual Ways To Enjoy berries June 30, 2020

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?

Sirtfood Diet, Again??!! June 16, 2020

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!

Snack Time! June 2, 2020

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!

Maximize Your Food During Quarantine May 19, 2020

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!

Can You Eat Expired Yogurt? May 5, 2020

Saw this old picture recently and it brought me back to a time when I was riding the subway, getting my hair done (and make-up!), grabbing drinks and dining out with friends, etc. - the NYC I know and love! I'd be lying to you if I felt that my old life will be back shortly, because honestly I don't. AND who knows what that life will even look like when we emerge?

Can You Eat Expired Eggs? April 21, 2020

Thought I would share a quote this week that one of my yoga teachers shared that resonated with me: "We are billions of caterpillars forced into our cocoons, being called on to change from the inside out, to metamorphose, to rest, and reflect and sprout our wings." ~Unknown

Is The Dirty Dozen Legit? March 31, 2020

Well I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since I last wrote to you all and what a crazy 2 weeks it's been. I have been trying to settle into a "new normal" but some days are definitely easier than others. My main problem is focus - too often I just rather have coffee hangouts or cocktail hour with my friends and family - ALL virtual of course! The truth is we will all experience this a little differently, yet there will also be that common thread.

4 Ways To Deal With Social Distancing March 17, 2020

At first I thought I wasn't going to send out a Keri Report this week. With all the craziness in the world right now it was hard for me to wrap my head around sharing my usual content with you. You know what I mean? We want news on COVID-19 not "How Many Calories are in....". BUT then I thought, maybe Keri Report stuff is just what we need OR maybe what I need to share.
