Wednesdays are always busy days for me, so my meals have to be something I can grab-on-the-go or prepare in 10 minutes or less. Enter my bowl of eggs, quinoa, and kale. Like I mentioned in my whole grains post, I make big batches of grains on one day, and then eat off them for [...]

As you know, I’m lovin’ the fruits and veggies in season this Fall. I picked up a spaghetti squash yesterday and have been looking around for something fun to do with it (besides eating it plain with a fork and some salt and pepper).
Thanks to my school’s twitter page (@NutritionSchool), I just found a delightful [...]

A study from the Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal found that cruciferous vegetables have the best cancer-fighting potential out of 34 vegetables tested (Self.com, May 2009, p. 112). The reason?

Update: The following post was featured on the FitBuff Total Mind and Body Fitness Carnival 97.
These days I’m on a mission to whip up cheap, healthy meals. I found a bag of 15 bean soup at the grocery store and decided to try it out. Beans are one of the best food purchases because they [...]

Thursday nights are usually a crash-and-burn night for me because it’s the end of my regular work week, and I’m always looking for something easy and comforting when I get home. That’s a recipe for disaster unless you have healthy foods stocked up in the house! So, last night I tried cooking a big pan [...]
