I hope you enjoy this guest post from Jessica, a NYC dietitian who loves blogging about “nutritioulicious” foods – delicious foods that are also nutritious for you! I love a good salad, one filled with colorful, fresh vegetables, some lean protein, and a serving of healthy fat. I especially like some crunch to my salad [...]

I’ve never been one of those humongo cheese lovers. I want it out of my sandwich, mac and cheese does not appeal to me, and I’m much happier with crackers and hummus than crackers and cheese. Maybe it’s because when I became lactose intolerant I had to give up cheese, and never really developed much [...]

Funk has been turning to big bowls of cereal lately for his midnight snack, and we blow through boxes of it like we’re feeding a small army of men. So we were both excited when the nice people at Dorset cereals offered to send us some samples of granola and muesli to try. We had [...]

  I just came back to earth after an amazing 5 days at the American Dietetic Association’s annual Food and Nutrition Conference. (Recap to come soon!) Contrary to what you might think about a food and nutrition conference, we’re not exactly fed meals. Instead, we’re invited to explore the football-sized expo hall with hundreds of [...]

Recently I was contacted by someone from Lucini Italia Co. about reviewing a product called Cinque e’ Cinque. I read the description: “Cinque is a simple Tuscan chickpea flour baking mix that, when prepared with extra virgin olive oil and water, bakes into a mouthwatering frittata. It is high in fiber, contains 9 grams of [...]

Last week I received a few packs of Arnold Sandwich Thins from the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program. Love food mail! And love Sandwich Thins. My mom bought them for us a few years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. When I make sandwiches, I don’t love using basic bread (bo-ring!). For me, wraps, tortillas, pitas, [...]

  I was contacted by the Food Should Taste Good chip people recently to taste their products. Asking me to taste these chips is like asking someone else to sample an all-you-can-eat ice cream buffet, or the best chocolate in the world. Tortilla chips are my food vice. More specifically, Food Should Taste Good chips [...]

Oh the perks of being a dietitian. I opened my front door to find a huge package on my doorstep. Did I order new furniture? A new grill? A bicycle? Nope. I received a complementary, massive 5’ tall box of World of Grains cookies. Cookies for life, I should say. (And yes I will be [...]

I’ll admit it: I’m partial to products that contain the word “Funk” or “Funky” and there’s a good chance it’s because my boyfriend’s last name (nope, not nickname) is Funk. So I was excited to be put in contact with the PR rep for Funky Monkey Snacks, who graciously offered to send me some samples [...]

Maybe you’ve never heard of Salba but surely you’ve heard of the cha-cha-cha-Chia! pet, right? The seeds used to grow those leafy green pets is called “Salba columbariae” and in that family of salba seeds is the “salba hispanica” variety. This little seed is sprouting up left and right in food products and on natural [...]
