It always an eye-opening experience for me to open the fridge at Mom's house. Coming home and visiting my Mom in New York is always an opportunity to sharpen my nutrition education skills. Mom has healthy intentions, but like most people, she falls prey to the confusing marketing tactics used by food companies. I woke up at a leisurely hour today and Mom had made some coffee for us. She

If you’re like most Americans, you are consuming an average of 2 servings or 8 ounces of meat each day. That is almost double the amount that is recommended by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. It’s no surprise that most of us eat meat nearly everyday. Think about it…What’s in your lunch bag? …A turkey sandwich? What’s for dinner? …Leftover spaghetti and meatballs? The challenge here is to

Believe it or not, I had never used an iPod prior to moving to Phoenix. Prior to moving here, I lived in a quiet, little neighborhood nestled in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I commuted to work on my bicycle. I LOVED commuting to work because it was my time to soak up the fresh air along the Charles river and watch the crews get in their morning workouts. Thinking about this makes me miss Boston...a

Recently the American Dietetic Association (ADA) announced a partnership with Hershey's Center for Health & Nutrition (yes the candy folks). As a dietitian and member of ADA, I belong to a few Dietetic Practice Groups. These are sub-groups of the ADA that focus on specific issues dietitians are interested in. So, I belong to the Food and Culinary Professionals (FCP) DPG and the Hunger &

This past month, October, was Celiac Awareness Month. In celebration, here at Bashas' we focused our healthy eating messages around gluten-free all month. I was surprised at the response from these ads...I received email after email requesting the listing of our gluten-free products. This was the largest response from customers that I have received so far in 1.5 years. I've decided to do this

The Biggest Loser on NBC has certainly inspired thousands of viewers across the country to get motivated about weight loss, getting fit, and eating healthier. As a supermarket dietitian I bartered my services with a local version of the Biggest Loser for recognition for my company as a sponsor. I wanted to share with you one of many emails that I have received from contestants...basically, they
