Cannot believe it is November 1st! Personally, I am trying to wrap my head around the temperatures dropping and that I soon must start wearing my winter coat. This week however, brings the typical non-weather conversation that occurs immediately after Halloween. My...

Last week I spent four days in Boston at my national convention. It's where all the registered dietitians from across the country get together to go to nutrition lectures and find out about new products. It is also a time to visit with old friends, as well make new...

"No matter how much time you spend in the kitchen; there is always something new to learn!" These were my thoughts last week while I was cooking in a kitchen at Barilla in Chicago. Teamed up with 3 other amazing registered dietitians, we were part of a pasta cooking...

To know me, is to know I dine out a lot. Ask any patient I've had over the years and they could probably recite this quote of mine by heart: "You can eat out 365 days a year and still maintain a healthy body weight!" YES - that is my mantra (well, at least one of...

Today in yoga I tried a variation of a pose that I haven't done before. Well - that isn't exactly true. I tried it 3 days before for the first time but couldn't get my legs up. Yet today - up they went and it felt so good. Still need to work on raising my chin, but...

Goodbye summer. Hello fall. Goodbye warm weather. Hello chill in the air. Labor Day is the official end to the summer and with that everything I had planned to do these last couple of months. For example, didn't clean out my basement. (I know crazy thing to even put...

"All good things must come to an end." Really? Not sure who originally said this - but I think there needs to be a second sentence; such as, "to make room for more good things!". And that is how I have decided to deal with the end of summer. Instead of thinking about...

My family visited this past weekend and as you can imagine when you get a group of siblings together with their spouses and our mother heated discussions can ensue. In many families a common topic of banter is politics, but oddly enough with this upcoming election we...
