Less scrolling. More living.
I had a conversation last week about why I don’t like pizza. People usually gasp when I admit this because – how American can you be not to like pizza, right? But just as I have learned culturally, my friends grew up with certain foods and items, one thing we didn’t eat on the farm was – pizza. We were mostly self-sustained out there (shocking right) with a bi-monthly trip… Keep Reading
The other day I was attending an event for Breast Cancer month with The Moms (one of the founders, Denise Albert is fighting the battle as we speak), and I ran into Shari Brooks. She started telling me about this amazing little campaign she started that’s gotten rather big, and I felt compelled to jump on the bandwagon. In honor of tragically losing her mother to breast cancer, she started the… Keep Reading
Ok so let’s be honest right off the bat. I don’t like breakfast or anything to do with it. I like breakfast food – like eggs and pancakes – but more around 6pm than 6am. I probably haven’t ate breakfast voluntarily in over 10 years at least – unless it was aspirin for a raging hangover. But when you now have a child in preschool that requires breakfast five days… Keep Reading
Boys will be boys. They love getting dirty, jumping off couches, laying around in their underwear and of course, eating – A LOT. So if they are going to be tossing back containers of ice cream, I’d prefer it to be something slightly better for them. As you know, we’re big fans of eliminating artificial ingredients and GMOs here, and they can sneak up on you in places you don’t… Keep Reading
Were you one of those people growing up that looked at your mom’s pot of coffee every morning and said, no way – I’ll never drink that sludge. I still remember her pulling out the tub of Maxwell House instant coffee and stirring and sipping on it throughout the day. (is that really coffee??). And the Mr. Coffee pot. Come on – you remember Mr. Coffee. It’s safe to say… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Jenny Craig as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central, and all opinions expressed are my own. If there’s one thing you need to know about me (if you don’t already), it’s that I like to eat! My whole life schedule is revolved around it. If it can’t be apart of the plans (because I ask in advance) then I’m not getting dressed. And… Keep Reading
One of my biggest guilty pleasures after coming home from a long day is not having to endure the tedious task of preparing and then cooking dinner. Frozen dinners and Seamless are my bad habit, especially after my train being delayed or when I didn’t have enough coffee that day. Lucky for our tiny NYC freezers (and wallets), some well-known companies like Healthy Choice have heard the cries of us trying… Keep Reading
There is a new trend on food out there and FINALLY it’s one I am more than happy to jump on the bandwagon. I have never been a fan of salads – unless they are “Pittsburgh style.” This means loading them with things like french fries, cheese, steak and Ranch dressing. So much for the healthy part of salad. So, I would eat them – reluctantly – knowing… Keep Reading
As a former farmer, I am very passionate about this cause. We never treated our animals inhumanely, we saw them as the source of food they provided and had an appreciation for that. We only had as many cows as we could manage – not trying to cram them into dirty pens. They grazed pastures and feasted on the feed all winter we worked so hard to stock up in the… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Meta Appetite Control as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. Summer is hard. Hard to balance health, self and parenting. Kids are off school so that means your daily workout routine is off, you’re traveling more, and let’s be honest – most of that traveling revolves around the kids and “kid food.” Meta Appetite Control has been a life saver for me these last couple… Keep Reading
150 years ago it was 1866. That’s when William A. Breyer hand-cranked his first gallon of ice cream with fresh cream and pure cane sugar (and now Breyers Ice Cream is the maker of Americas No. 1 Vanilla ice cream!). I just want to take a minute to thank this man – and for thinking that churning cream and sugar and then freezing it sounded like a delicious idea. First of all,… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Meta Appetite Control as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. May and June are always the most hectic months of the year for me. Basically, I spend more time traveling all over than in my own bed. And – traveling can be detrimental to your diet. Especially when you’re training for another upcoming half marathon in Memphis for St. Jude and traveling to… Keep Reading
