I’ve been reading quite a bit recently since my foray into the food as medicine world, and one of themes that keeps hitting home to me is how we are all biochemically unique. Yet when many of us set out to clean up our eating, we often try to follow guidelines that may not work for us. Take low carbohydrate […] read more »
The day before Thanksgiving, I received an email that gleefully encouraged me to stuff myself the next day, as that was the American way. It gave me pause, wondering how we came to this point. Surely the Pilgrims didn’t approach their day of giving thanks with the idea that they’d walk away from the table so full they were miserable.
You’d think after a month of not writing posts, I’d be bursting at the seams with things to say. But I’m not. Maybe it’s just a matter of getting going again. But it also may be that my mind is forward focused, and I’m just not too sure what to say about things at the moment. It has been a […] read more »

Debunks popular myths, explains science and exposes fraud that affects your health.” Like us at Green Mountain at Fox Run, Sandy is an advocate of Health at Every […] read more »
Opinions — everybody has one, right? Among the opinionated, falls the reformed exerciser. You recognize them, the ones who enjoy sharing what exercise regime works best. And somewhere mixed in all that enthusiasm, can be a lot of unsolicited advice about what they think might work better — for you. Sometimes ’the reformed’ can be a little too quick to forget that it wasn’t that long […] read more »
This is a short post today because if everything goes as planned, I’m flying back from an all-too-rare, all-too-short family vacation at my sister’s home where I got to see my daughter and spend time with the whole family together. With the son off to college in a few weeks, and daughter off a few years ago, these times are […] read more »
No, it isn’t Thursday (our usual day to post recipes). It’s just that I love this picture and I love the recipe even more! It’s called Mussels Saganaki and is featured on Kalofagas.ca. Kalofagas means “gourmet” in Greek. So now you also know the blog is about Greek food, which is one of my favorites for healthy Mediterranean-style cooking. Curious? […] read more »
My husband Alan laughs now at his introduction to beans as a regular part of his meals. And by regular, I do mean regular. I grew up in Texas, where we ate beans all the time. He grew up in New York City; I’m not sure he ever had a bean beyond the canned beans that his mom sometimes mixed […] read more »
