I’m working as an ambassador for Child Hunger Ends Here this season, and was so pleased to see that ConAgra Foods was once again sponsoring Blissdom to help promote the cause. This year, for every tweet during the conference tagged with the #childhunger hashtag, two meals were donated (five during the ConAgra Foods sponsored Girl’s… [read more]
A few months ago, when I was on Accutane, I had to go vegan to control my rapidly rising cholesterol. I didn’t think it would work, but my cholesterol plummeted in my blood test just a few short weeks later. I ended the veganism when I went off Accutane, but a few habits remained, including… [read more]
I don’t have Celiac disease, and I haven’t been diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity. However, I am always concerned about my diet, and am always looking for ways to eat better for my body. When I was at BlogHer in NYC this past summer, I decided I’d try eating gluten free for a bit, and… [read more]
Before I had children, I imagined it would be pretty easy to feed my kids healthy foods. I assumed that all I needed to do was introduce healthy foods early, avoid buying junk food, and my kids would acquire a taste for only healthy foods. Of course, once I had children, I realized that what… [read more]
Last week, I wrote about how much we are loving Flatout Flatbreads. Although we’ve made lots of great pizzas with them, my kids are also loving sandwiches made on them. They are so sick of regular sandwiches, so these are a great alternative. I can’t wait until my Walmart gets them in stock, because I’ll… [read more]
We had a totally rainy weekend last weekend. Since I’d just received my shipment of Flatout Flatbreads, and we had some family visiting, I decided to go shopping and pull together some ingredients to have a make-your-own-flatbread-pizza party. My kids aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of fall flavors, so I selected some traditional materials alongside… [read more]
My kids, like many other kids, are extremely picky. As we go into this school year, I’m challenged to pack lunches that are filling, healthy, and appealing to my children. When I was at the Conversations with Coca-Cola Mom Blogger conference, I got some great ideas for healthy lunches from Randy Harris of ChefAdvantage (on… [read more]
I’m pretty obsessed with KIND Snacks – I eat a KIND Bar every single day for breakfast, and sometimes eat more than one per day. So, I was excited to try out their new KIND Healthy Grains. These bags of healthy snacks include flax seeds and whole grains (such as amaranth, quinoa, oats,… [read more]
Like most kids, mine are constantly grabbing snacks. They eat like we are generally told to eat – lots of grazing throughout the day. As most moms know, it can be difficult to find healthy snacks that are appealing to kids. Mine love fruit, but by the end of the week, we’re usually… [read more]
While I grew up eating fast food, I stopped eating it in my mid-20s when I learned just how unhealthy it is. I don’t feel well after eating it, and neither does my husband. My kids are now 7 and 6, and we’ve banned fast food in our home. It was easy… [read more]
It’s no surprise that I love good food. I especially love when I’m not the one responsible for cooking or cleaning that good food. That’s why I was one of the first in line to RSVP for the Boston Parent Blogger lunch at Maggiano’s Little Italy, located in Boston’s Theater District. I’ve lived… [read more]
I know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it’s still difficult to sit down and eat a healthy breakfast every day. I really do not like cereal, I’m avoiding dairy, and it’s just too much work to actually cook something just for myself. So, I usually end up… [read more]
