By now you’ve heard it a million times. New lists, it seems, are constantly compiled and are often full of foods we’ve never heard of, can’t pronounce, or can’t find in the grocery store. (Like this list from Shape Magazine) And lately they’ve been showing up as dietary supplements in convenient juice or pill form. … Continue reading How Super Is Your Food?
Prosciutto and Spinach Egg Cups
This weekend my CrossFit Route 1 team and I competed in the NorthEast CrossFit Regionals at Reebok Headquarters in Canton, MA.

Inside this care package was one of the most delicious, … Continue reading Prosciutto and Spinach Egg Cups
Heirloom Eggs
We consume a lot of eggs at my house and sometimes we run out. Often this dilemma is solved with Evan taking an impromptu trip to the store. Usually when this occurs, he comes home with some unusual treat...this trip was no exception. When Evan set the Pete & Gerry’s egg carton on the counter … Continue reading Heirloom Eggs
Why I Love Coconuts (and You Should, Too!): Part 2

This weekend my husband ran the Tough Mudder on Mt. Snow in VT. As a result of his expedition I have far too many bananas in my kitchen. Since they are going bad fast after traveling to and from VT without being eaten, I need to use them - PRONTO! I've been craving baked goods lately...and … Continue reading This Bread is Bananas
Money in Your Pocket
This intrigues me...there are now websites designed to help you keep track of your exercise habits and reward you (in some cases monetarily) for doing what you set out to do. When we first seek to get (back) in shape starting is the hardest thing. We can't believe how out of shape we are and … Continue reading Money in Your Pocket

Pretty Little Fiddleheads
Yesterday Evan (my husband) came home with a treat you can only get this time of year, a bag full of fiddleheads. A fiddlehead is the very young, and yet unfurled, frond of a fern. For about 3 weeks each year, between the end of April and the middle of May here in the Northeast, … Continue reading Pretty Little Fiddleheads
