The good news is there are more healthy snack options in convenience stores, airports, train stations and big-box stores than ever before. When I’m on-the-go, however, I like to make sure I have my “go-to” options tucked safely in my handbag/tote bag/carry-on. I admit it – I’m picky. I want gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free snacks, but […]
“Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.” ~Yogi Berra Whatever you’re trying to achieve in life, state of mind matters. The mental game can be the difference between success and failure. This is true for sports, lifestyle changes and any other goals you set for yourself. A Win 108 Years in […]
McDonald’s for weight loss. Stop the presses!! Can this really be true? Sounds like a miracle for some people. It’s so bothersome, really, that this story got so much press, including coverage on The Today Show, when, in reality, there was nothing newsworthy about it. And, quite the opposite, it could actually be spreading false […]
I have to travel with food. I can’t leave it to chance that I will find something to eat at an airport. Times are certainly changing and there are more healthy options available now than in the past, but finding gluten-free, vegan food can be challenging (other than a salad with iceberg lettuce). Whether I […]
Yesterday’s New York Times reported data that didn’t really surprise me, but did sadden me. According to Certify, a maker of expense management software, fast food outlets appeared on reports more than other restaurants in 2012. Starbucks topped the list with more than 20,000 transactions averaging $7.54 each. McDonald’s was second with 12,419 transactions averaging […]
The first Friday night of the new year. It’s been a mellow one for me. Early dinner at a Chinese restaurant; steamed veggies and brown rice. When I got home I rested for a bit and digested dinner, then got on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I was going to work out earlier today but […]
I know you are busy, so trust me when I say there is no judgment in this question: how often do you read product labels when food shopping? I completely understand that it becomes one more thing to do, and how many of us want to spend more time in the grocery store? The problem […]
The food court at Woodbury Commons doesn’t offer many options for a gluten-free, vegan like me. I did have a Pure Bar to eat as a backup, but thought I was safe with a plate of black beans and vegetables (what I ate a year ago while taking a break from shopping). As I approached […]
My husband, Keith, and I enjoyed a great Memorial Day Weekend. We went up to the Berkshires for a couple of days. We relaxed and spent quality time together. We were in the car a lot, with a three hour drive to the Berkshires on Friday and home on Sunday evening, and on Saturday we […]
Yesterday, I was walking in the pouring rain across 23rd Street. I couldn’t wait to get to the subway. I thought, “No stops, just keep walking and you’ll be home soon.” And then something stopped me – a big sign that read, “Gluten-free Pizza.” I had come to Mozzarelli’s Catering Company at 38 East 23rd […]
