Detox Soup
Yes, I said it. The *D* word: Detox. Gah! Let it be known that I’m totally against any form of trendy diet detox (restricting food, cleanses, liquid diets and other extreme measures). Our lungs, kidneys and liver are the body’s major detoxification system and work far better than any kooky crash diet. I believe if [...]
Eat Simply
When it comes to healthy eating, I believe that the simpler, the better. I look for foods that have simple ingredient lists that I can understand. I follow recipes with simple instructions, since I’m terrible at following instructions anyway. And I choose foods that are as close to their original state as possible, and were [...]
Museum of Science: What I Eat Around the World
On Sunday Funk and I headed to the Museum of Science to check out a special exhibit: What I Eat Around the World in 25 Diets. I planned ahead by picking up two (significantly reduced) tickets from our library and we headed over there just as the museum opened, which was awesome because we didn’t [...]
Where You’ve Seen Me
My blog has been pretty out of commission this week (as in – pictures are not showing up and I have no idea why but I’m working on it). Frustrating!!! So isntead of my regular posting, I thought I’d share some things I’ve contributed to outside of my little blogiverse: On the Food Network’s Healthy [...]
The Simpsons Food Blog Episode
I haven’t watched The Simpsons since…ever. Seriously, when a cartoon comes on TV my eyes just glaze over. But Funk DVRs new episodes and kept telling me about the latest Food Blog episode where Marge, Lisa and Bart start a food blog. I laughed out loud. A lot. And then found it funny (and sad?) [...]

Wegman’s in Massachusetts!
Over the weekend, my friend Toni and I took a highly anticipated trip about an hour away to Northborough, MA where the first Massachusetts Wegman’s grocery store opened last month! I hold a special place in my heart for Wegman’s: spending four years in Syracuse, NY for college, I grew to love the supermarket that [...]
My Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead Review
Almost two weeks ago I hopped on a plane to vacation with three of my very best friends from grad school for a long weekend in Sedona, Arizona. Of course, amidst hiking in the red rocks, wine tasting in the vineyards, and browsing the shops in town, we talked nutrition. Of course we talk nutrition. [...]
Attune Brunch with my Dietitian Pals
As an Attune brand ambassador, I’ve been charged with spreading the good word about Attune foods, from the Erewhon cereals to Attune chocolate bars and New Morning graham crackers. They’re all products I eat and support as a dietitian, so I’m always more than happy to spread the food love to others. Over the weekend [...]
