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 …

We’re at Disney World. It’s great, but honestly, the food sucks. SUCKS. I suppose if we made reservations at some of the nicer places we could come up with some food that is not out of the freezer and processed (or drenched) beyond recognition—but that’s not on the itinerary this trip because it’s not really …
Several months ago, I went to a yoga class where the theme was “CSI Yoga.” The whole point of the class was to discover what body parts, joints, and muscles were tight and/or had other challenges. We slowly made our way through the body, putting ourselves in different poses and testing things out. The instructor …
A quick backstory to clue you in as to how exciting this adventure was for us- when we, Lisa and Kyle, were maybe 11 or 12, we frequently found ourselves hungry after school… and for some reason we were always craving grilled cheese. Patience was not a virtue of ours at the time and our …
If you’ve seen Food, Inc. or read any books by Michael Pollan, you’ve probably heard about the concept of casting your vote. One of the most common reasons or barriers I hear from people for why they don’t buy healthier food at the grocery store or why they don’t stop buying fast food is that …
Every time I crave tabbouleh I go to Aladdins Natural Eatery in Schoen Place and purchase two orders for carry out… and then gobble it all up as soon as I get home. I’ve tried finding it in local grocery stores- I’ve searched and asked and begged some stores to carry it. I never took …
(This is a duplicate to my post on my own blog; Lisa asked that I share it with all of you. Enjoy!) I’ve been desperate to make hummus in my new food processor since the moment I arrived home with it. I’ve had two recipes (both raw, vegan and gluten free) that I’ve tried previously, …
A new friend at RIT shared this very interesting story with me the other day. I highly recommend listening to the recording describing this study that looked into why we make certain food choices. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122781981&sc=emaf “The brain is anatomically organized into different systems….. You have a rational deliberative system which is sort of more to …
I’m not a fan of resolutions, possibly because I am terrible at upholding them. I think it’s a common issue with our society for us to choose something to improve about ourselves and then to do it all at once….only to fail all at once shortly thereafter. In the past, I’ve tried this all-or-nothing approach …
Did you ever have a Chia Pet? My bro-in-law (before he was my bro-in-law) gave one to me for Christmas one year. It was a weird concept—spread seed goo over a ceramic animal (not sure what kind of animal), and then let it sprout and grow. Result: pointless, weird-looking, primarily non-functional clutter–sort of a plant! …
