Cheese: Back on the ‘Yes’ list?
Since booking my trip to Milan for this September, I've been thinking a lot about my last trip to Italy back in 2010. Thoughts: 1.) I can't believe that was 5 years ago. 2.) I'm glad I've since gotten into the habit of brushing my hair and wearing a bra on the...

What I Ate Wednesday #210
Happy What I Ate Wednesday. How's your week going? I'm loving the return of the spring weather. It's been hard to stay inside. I get a kick out of how many more steps my devices tell me I take when it's sunny and not freezing cold. I'm a weather wuss and I am not...

After Khloe Kardashian posted a photo of her extensive vitamin pill regimen, the Internet was buzzing over whether that degree of supplementation is appropriate or even safe. I was asked to weigh in on the topic for a Yahoo Health article. Rather than make a blanket...
Sweet Caramelized Carrots
Sick of baby carrots? Me too. When healthcare professionals start talking about easy ways to add veggies into your diet, baby carrots inevitably come up. I've been guilty of this myself, at times. If I ever told you to eat baby carrots and you were like, "Yeah,...
