Has anyone ever asked you that question? No one has asked me that in a while, but I’ll admit that it has happened in the past. I suppose “normal” refers to “just like everyone else,” because I’m pretty normal compared to my own standards. I do find, however, that sometimes I forget that I can …
Creating a lifestyle routine of healthy habits is not only ongoing (as our understanding of what is healthy for us continues to evolve), but it also involves a lot of strategy. Often, I let people know that it’s not necessarily the plan of attack that is most important, but the plan of getting back on …

I don’t love green smoothies, even though I drink them and I promote drinking them to other people. The benefits of a green smoothie are indisputable—lower blood pressure, more energy, more fiber, more nutrients, chlorophyll, lower cholesterol….and lots more. But sometimes, green smoothies can be so…green. As you know, Kristina and I are in a …
Petra and I set out for Toronto yesterday morning. We were making the 3 hour drive on an expedition to visit two (of three) raw restaurants in that area. At 5pm, we hit the road for home…and at 10:30, after being stuck for a few hours at the border, we got home. The drive was …

One of the topics I commonly talk about with clients is food combining. People are generally curious about what things to eat together (and what not to eat together). It can be a very complicated topic, but the reason to combine properly is important—your body can digest food much more efficiently if your food is …

When my nephew, Matthew, visits me for the weekend, I try to offer him healthy food choices. This can be a challenge for me because I don’t like to keep “kid food” in my house—if it’s there, I eat it. I know what he likes, so I stock up before he comes over, and I …
One weekend when I was (probably) in middle school, my mom and I were going to be spending the evening alone together, and we decided our theme for the night would be “Life is uncertain, eat dessert first.” I have no idea what we ate for dessert, and I’m pretty sure we had dessert, dinner, …
I’ve been contemplating how to write about the food from my weekend trip to MA. I don’t think my friends that I visited read this blog, but I also don’t want to say anything that could be construed as an insult about the way they eat. I really do like to think I’m pretty sensitive …

As I was contemplating my exit route from MA on Sunday, I detoured southeast (I think) to my old neighborhood. When I lived in MA in the early 2000’s, I worked at Hanscom Air Force Base (Bedford) and had an apartment in Lexington. I was really young (22), and this was my first real job, …
I spent last weekend in Massachusetts visiting two of my college friends. Catie lives there and Beth was visiting her parents. Lucky for us, Beth’s parents have a permit for Duxbury Beach, which is just north of Plymouth (last time we were there Beth took us to see Plymouth Rock—how disappointing!). Duxbury Beach works in …
