I don’t watch much TV. As such, I don’t see many ads. Today, however, I was spinning the flight from yesterday out of my legs on a bike at the gym and, of course, the TVs were on. I saw an ad for a product which is supposed to ‘make you regular’ as well as […]
Read More ›Comfort Food. What does the phrase bring to mind? I suppose it’s different for everyone. For some, it’s a warm cup of soup when they’re feeling under the weather physically, and for others, it’s a trip down memory lane to a childhood treat of having an ice cream cone in the summer after winning a […]
Read More ›I heard a piece this morning on the news about those who suffer terribly from migraine headaches. Fortunately, I have never experienced one myself but have certainly had close friends who also faced the challenge of this temporarily debilitating and painful health issue. Naturally, there was an interview with a doctor who spoke about some […]
Read More ›It’s Kraft’s new shredded cheese and breadcrumb mix, ironically named Fresh Take. I find this almost laughable in a sad way. You can now purchase a lovely plastic package of processed cheese, already mixed with some refined grain products along with some stabilizing additives to increase shelf life. Just what we need!

Read More ›And I do not have super human will power. However, I have been asked this very question on much more than one occasion. “Nell, what is your one cheat food?” or “Nell, how often do you go off the Paleo wagon?” and “Nell, what do you do when you have one of those sugar cravings?” […]
Read More ›Sweet Potato Chips, Carrot Chips, Yam Chips… and, of course, Kale Chips. Why must we do this to so many veggies? Ok, not a huge deal if you’re making your own kale chips in the oven, baking with some olive oil or coconut oil and a pinch of salt for the athletes out there, and, […]
Read More ›Really? Lovely article in one of my running magazines last month, indeed, which discussed: Why things like candy corn are fine to eat before a run (because, and I quote, “Candy, which is mostly sugar, supplies easily digested carbs which is your muscles’ preferred fuel”, although it might behoove you to eat a meal with […]
Read More ›We’ve cut out soy and all its derivatives, including soy sauce, so when a reader recently sent me an email asking for something to use in its proxy when preparing an Asian soup dish, he wondered if fish sauce might be a good option.
