Remember when I asked you to sign an important petition to stop junk food companies from taking over nutrition programs? Well, you supported us in a big way. Thank you. At this point, we have over 22,000 signatures and the backing of important food politics experts such as Mark Bittman, Michele Simon and Marion Nestle. Today, we launch our new website IntegrityDietitians.org. (We tried to get the domain name IntegrityRDs.com,…
It’s pouring rain right now. POURING. We keep looking out the window, mouths wide open, “It’s still raining. Can you believe it? It’s still raining!“ Rain means a break from the heat. Rain means a preview of fall temperatures. Rain means chili. This is an older recipe, which means I haven’t updated it for our paleo low-FODMAP month, but this would be easy to tweak. I’ll just take out the…
Since it’s Labor Day, I thought I would give myself the day off and let you write a blog post for me. (Thanks!) A few days ago on Facebook I posed the question, “What tips do you have for eating healthy on a budget?” Here’s what you’ve given me so far. Add your tip in the comment section.

This past month has been more down than up in terms of my health, and the worse I felt, the more lazy I became in my eating (which I’m sure made me feel even worse). I was grabbing a bar for breakfast, maybe even a bar for lunch, scrounging for a dinner I wouldn’t…
Eating food out of a mason jar seems to be quite the trend these days. When I saw this month’s Recipe ReDux theme of “Raising the Bar on Food in a Jar” I thought it would be the perfect time to try out a new spin on overnight oats. As someone who has very little time to eat in the morning, I prefer a quick grab-n-go breakfast. Overnight cereal is…
With Joe back in school, I went into full preparation mode a few weeks ago, stocking up on healthy snacks to pack each day. Because he doesn’t have lunch at school (just a short snack time), I want to get something filling in his tummy. After a Costco run and a visit to Sprouts, we were all set. But I forgot one important thing: most classrooms are now peanut and…
One week of school is in the books, and I’m still alive. Turns out waking up early isn’t so hard if you make it to bed on time. (I know, duh.) Joe and I have about 20 minutes for breakfast, so I’m getting back into the mode of making something quick and filling. Quick so we don’t have to cram it down our throats in 2 minutes, and filling so…
