It’s that time again. Time to review the year that is ending and make plans of how to make next year better. I’ve posted many ideas for setting goals in the past (here, here, and here). This year, I have two thoughts for you. First, I recently started listening to Gretchen Rubin’s podcast “Happier“. Highly …
Breakfast is a nutritionally important meal of the day. But I also find it to be an emotionally important meal. When I wake up on the wrong side of the bed, I need a good breakfast to help me turn my day around. And it really works. No bowls of cold cereal. I need warm …
I have been hearing about Blue Apron for a couple years now. It is one of several meal delivery services available these days. They send you ingredients and recipes for you to cook yourself. They offer a variety of meal plans – vegetarian. Most advertise sustainability in some form or other. The ingredients are fresh …

As an update to my previous post about the Kids Eat Right logo appearing on the Kraft Singles packaging, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is negotiating with Kraft to terminate their contract allowing this logo to appear. Unfortunately, the packaging roles out on April 1, but efforts are being made to limit the amount of …
I have been working on some changes around the site that I’m really excited about. I have updated the recipe index. Rather than a long, alphabetical list, it is now sorted into categories. Recipes are under multiple categories, so you hopefully shouldn’t be guessing where to find something. I’m very excited to have enough recipes …
