Peanut Butter & Jelly Larabar

Bars.  There are so many out there how do you choose which ones to buy?  Do you look at the sugar, the protein, the carbs, the ingredient list?   When you start analyzing each ingredient list sometimes they look a little scary with so many ingredients and sugar alcohols and other weird names you may not [...]

Amazing Chocolate Biscotti!

I love chocolate, and there’s nothing wrong with indulging in some now and then.  I prefer having a small portion of the real thing, than larger portions of artificially sweetened “light” chocolaty foods.  The key to making this work is your portion size! It’s a good idea to keep a limited amount of sweet treats [...]

Vegetable Fried Rice

Kashi Does it Again!

All my clients know how much I love Kashi products (and no I am not paid by them!).  I really enjoy their cereal, granola bars, pilaf, and frozen meals.  Whenever I see a new Kashi product on the shelves you know I’m going to try it out! I recently noticed two new types of frozen [...]

The reasons healthy eating is usually sabotaged on [...]

Blackened Tilapia

Easy weekday night meals are always on my mind for me and my clients!  Clients often complain to me that their fish is always bland, and they don’t know how to make it flavorful.  All I can tell you is that blackened fish is so tasty!  This meal is incredibly simple and takes less than [...]

Prezza Review: The North End

Last weekend for our night out in Boston my husband and I decided to try the restaurant Prezza in the North End.  After reading great reviews on Chowhound and Zagat I made a reservation.

Healthy Lunches in Boston

This past weekend, as I mentioned in my previous post, I was in Boston for 2 days.  For me it works well to eat mostly healthy foods full of nutrients during the day so I feel my best and save some “indulgent” foods for the evening.  It’s usually rather easy to find healthy food, particularly [...]
