Russ and I headed to Tangerini’s Spring Street Farm today to pick up our winter share. We picked up butternut squash, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, fresh herbs and more. Here’s just a few of the treasures from our farm share. I always get inspired by fresh produce and today was no different. I […]

Last week I received some product samples from Udi’s. Udi’s is the maker of many very tasty gluten free breads, cereals, pizza crusts and more. Many of their products are not only gluten free but also #FODMAP friendly. As many of you are aware, as a registered dietitian, I work with people with digestive health […]

The sun is shining and that makes me happy.  This past week we had a quick run in with snow.  That made me a little unhappy.  I am just not quite ready. Thankfully, with the sun brightly shining, Russ, Lucy and I got in 2 nice long walks this weekend!  We took in some of […]

I thought I would experiment with a little gluten free baking since we are stuck inside with the arrival of Hurricane Sandy. On the menu…homemade graham crackers. Graham crackers are one of my most favorite comfort foods. I just love ’em. I was inspired by one of my colleagues, The Spicy RD who posted a […]

Well…Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful week.  My week was extremely busy.  My mom fell last Friday and ended up in the hospital.  She is recovering beautifully, thankfully.  She is an 87 years old, mother of nine and is extremely resilient.  But needless to say, it was a tough week for me.
