Stuff I Love: Otria® Greek Yogurt Dips

Since I "keep it real" on this blog, I will tell you honestly that I am not a huge fan of fresh fruit or raw vegetables.  I know, I know... as a dietitian, I should be raving about how wonderful fruits and veggies are.  Don't get me wrong, they ARE super good for you, but… Continue reading Stuff I Love: Otria® Greek Yogurt Dips

Keeping It Real: Why My Body Is Awesome!

I like many people out there, I'm sure, am completely guilty of bashing my body.  There are days when I say critical things about myself and I get down on myself for not eating right or exercising enough.  And as a dietitian I should be a better role model to the world... but lately life… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Why My Body Is Awesome!

Keeping It Real: The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades!

So much has been happening in my life and the lives of people around me.  Really, so much is happening in the world.  There's a lot of people out there that are fearful for the future.  Healthcare is scary, government is scary, growing up is scary.  And while there are a LOT of times I… Continue reading Keeping It Real: The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades!

Pinterest Recipe Success: Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup & Pumpkin Spice Krispie Treats

I have a terrible habit of pinning a bunch of recipes to Pinterest that sound amazing and never EVER making them.  I pointed this out when my niece posted on Facebook that she was making a cookbook of her favorite Pinterest recipes - she has tried almost all of her recipes that she's pinned, and… Continue reading Pinterest Recipe Success: Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup & Pumpkin Spice Krispie Treats

A Goal Accomplished!

When I woke up this morning, I wasn't sure what my day would bring.  It was cold outside, cold enough for snow.  I hadn't gotten in any running in the last week because of work circumstances way beyond my control - more on that some other time.  I wasn't completely sure of myself... but I… Continue reading A Goal Accomplished!

Stuff I Love: Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressing

So I am a big fan of Hungry Girl.  I have a few of her recipe books and I get her almost daily emails.  I have discovered a lot of delicious swaps for foods and ingredients that might be less than healthy for you through Hungry Girl.  My latest, and probably BEST discovery, are the… Continue reading Stuff I Love: Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressing
