By stacy, on January 18th, 2011 I was completely shocked when I read that America’s top weight loss coach, best-selling author and nationally known expert on weight loss, nutrition and health – Dr. Jonny Bowden said that sardines are “health food in a can.” I was even more shocked to learn that sardines can not only help with overwhelming fatigue, but [...]
By stacy, on January 16th, 2011 This is for all of my friends who asked for this Chunky Caramel-Apple Pumpkin Spice Dip recipe after I posted on Facebook last night. I made one mistake on my Facebook post though – this dip doesn’t have 80 calories a serving, it only has 52 calories a serving! This pumpkin apple spice dip is [...]
By stacy, on November 16th, 2010 I ran a half-marathon last weekend in preparation for my full Disney Marathon in January. As my reward, I baked a homemade loaf of raisin bread. The bread was delicious, but it was a little too good. I fell into the trap that I was warned about, but swore I would never do: I justified [...]
By stacy, on November 3rd, 2010 I was thrilled when Hungry Girl released her first cookbook with tons of butternut squash recipes. My favorite is the butternut squash fries. Yum! My kids don’t like butternut squash, but they LOVE butternut squash fries. Don’t get me wrong, they aren’t fooled into thinking they are “French fries,” but any recipe that gets my [...]
By stacy, on September 21st, 2010 “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” How many times have you heard that little rhyme? I guess the cliché is so popular because it’s true. I could write a new blog post everyday with the health benefits of apples, but if I had to boil it down to the top ten headlines, it [...]
By stacy, on June 2nd, 2010 Watermelon has three key elements that create a “perfect storm” for making it one of the healthiest foods on the planet: high water content, high levels of lycopene and high levels of vitamin A.
Let’s start with the high water content. Study after study shows that high volume foods are one of your best allies [...]
By stacy, on April 20th, 2010 Bee Pollen. Yeah, that is right, bee pollen made the list of the 150 of the Healthiest Foods on Earth. Have you ever even heard of ingesting bee pollen before? I hadn’t. The first time I read about the health benefits of bee pollen was in Tosca Reno’s “The Eat Clean Diet” book. Tosca said [...]
By stacy, on April 15th, 2010 In general I don’t like spicy food or hot peppers, but jalapeños are the exception. I find jalapeños to have a great flavor, mild heat, but not an overwhelming spiciness. My husband on the other hand, loves spicy food. The hotter the better!
I wish that I enjoyed more hot peppers because they are extremely [...]
By stacy, on February 22nd, 2010 Today is my birthday, so it gives me great pleasure to blog about a food that is not only decadent and delicious, but will completely shock and appall you.
Like me, this food is often misunderstood. It has received a bad rep over the past several years, but it used to be a superstar. Just [...]
By stacy, on February 11th, 2010 My husband bought me an iPod touch for Christmas and it is one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. Before I received my iPod touch, I thought that it was just a glorified iPod with WiFi. Little did I know that you could download applications “apps” for everything from games to grocery list organizers [...]
