Bingeing On Healthy Food
Some of us, sometimes, binge. I know I do. I recently met a cookbook author who was hell bent on sharing the info that if we just make a slight mental shift, we can binge but not necessarily set ourselves into a tailspin of eating garbage for the rest of the day, night, week or […]
Coffee Buzz
Hi everyone! There is so much conflicting information out there when it comes to the health benefits of different items we consume and it can be very frustrating as well as a deterrent to cooking.

Because I’m The God DAMN Boss! No more Juice!
Hi everyone! Guess what? I have made yet another in-the-moment decree in my household, like the other ones that my husband can’t stand because I didn’t discuss it with him first: there will be no more eff-ing juice in this house.

Swiss Chard and Banana Shake and A Celebrity is Drinking My Shake!!
Hi everyone! Yeah, I don’t really want to brag, but Roscoe Orman, AKA Gordon from Sesame Street, really did like my Green Shake. When I asked if he thought Cookie Monster would try it instead of cookies, he said “maybe Oscar the Grouch”. Thanks to my friend Michael Reitman for the great photo and be […]
Kale Fruit Shake and are You a Virgin?
Hi everyone! I am feeling so inspired to spread the healthy cooking message. I just got back from a great workshop at the Sarah Ward Daycare Center in Newark where we learned about healthy foods, meal planning, modeling cooking for our kids and identifying our own individual obstacles to cooking to provide more healthful meals […]
