This week I cover food label­ing, how to read the nutri­tion facts, FDA guide­lines on some things that can and can’t be said on food pack­ag­ing, the food pyra­mid and more!

Again, I am […]

ez cheese, no spray can required

On March 28, 2011 By

Dairy cheese in Amer­ica can really be split into two cat­e­gories– actual cheese and then cheese “food prod­uct”. I remem­ber grow­ing up and think­ing that peo­ple who could afford the spray cheese in the can were really liv­ing large because that, my friends, showed both class and success.

From the minds of babes. Blorch.

My nutri­tion videos, along with other cook­ing show videos, are now avail­able in iTunes as a video pod­cast! Just search for “nom blog” and there they are! Higher res­o­lu­tion videos are always avail­able here on the blog.

I live and cre­ate recipes by 2 rules:

a jolly good breakfast

On March 24, 2011 By

Eng­lish muffins are some­thing I have taken a lik­ing to more recently than the more pop­u­lar Amer­i­can break­fast sta­ple, the bagel. Yet they are lovely on their own account, ten­der with a hint of yeast, and I find them much more fun to dress up.

Even bet­ter, they are far eas­ier to make at home than […]

Isn’t sac­ri­fice just the pits?

Sup­pose you need some­thing gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free… how are you sup­posed to live? I mean, what are you sup­posed to eat?

Hmm… it’s not look­ing so shabby, actually.

seussical st. patty’s soup

On March 17, 2011 By

Green eggs and ham not only sounds dis­gust­ing, but is also likely to induce stom­ach aches if you’ve indulged in too much green beer. But some refresh­ing and nat­u­rally green soup, chocked full of roasted gar­lic, white beans and greens, is sure to help detox that liver and perk you up.
