I subscribe to a fair share of food and nutrition magazines: Vegetarian Times, Eating Well, Prevention, Shape, Fitness, and Nutrition Action Health Letter to name a few. But the other day I received a new nutrition magazine in the mail, ChopChop, and it’s content, pictures, and colors blew me away. ChopChop is a quarterly food [...]

I have exciting news! I was invited by Oldways to blog (and eat) my way through the Whole Grains conference in Portland, Oregon on January 31 – February 2nd. The Whole Grains Council holds a major international conference about every year and a half. I’ll be there with chefs, health professionals, food scientists/writers, and one [...]

The other day I told Funk that if a day went by when he didn’t talk about a new podcast he downloaded, or use a baseball analogy in conversation, I’d know something was wrong. Funk looooooves listening to podcasts (and even more so, podcasts about baseball!). He downloads them daily and listens on the commute [...]

I just spent five days at an exhilarating, exhausting, inspiring, and exciting conference. This was my fifth time attending the American Dietetic Association’s Food and Nutrition Conference (FNCE), and as much as I love traveling to this conference (Chicago! Denver!)

Despite my lack of posting, a lot has been going on! Here are a few of my latest food and fitness happenings: Funk and I won two tickets from Red White Boston on Twitter to the Pan Mass Challenge Ride, Wine, and Dine Tastes of the World event at the Boston Harbor Hotel. It was [...]

Back to school is in full swing in our home! Funk is back to school for his MBA and I’m back to school teaching college freshman nutrition (for the first time!) and counseling for the school’s health services. A dream job of mine! Whether you’re back to school too, have kids in school, or are [...]

This past weekend, Elizabeth and I packed our (day) bags and headed out to visit Jess for a little Stay-cation day of R & R & Food. Obviously. What do 2 dietitians and 1 RD-to-be like to do for fun? Hit up Chili and Salsa festivals in New Hampshire, of course. We went to a hoppin’ [...]

If you’re a healthy living blogger, chances are you were glued to the Today Show Thursday morning at 8:35am to watch Caitlin Boyle’s interview on Operation Beautiful, and it was well worth it – she was fabulous! Caitlin started the Operation Beautiful movement, inspiring people to end negative thoughts and fat talk, and transform the [...]
