(Pasted from the New York Times) Nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden has created several lists of healthful foods people should be eating but aren’t. But some of his favorites, like purslane, guava and goji berries, aren’t always available at regular grocery stores. I asked Dr. Bowden, author of “The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth,” to […]

salad

Here is what I made for dinner tonight: Lentil & Couscous Salad, starring one of my favorite grains, Israeli couscous. I made a ton, so plenty to have for lunch the rest of this week.

pea soup

A fun activity to do when hungry: Grab a couple of good cookbooks and slowly read them cover to cover, marking the recipes you’d like to make, even if they sound a bit adventurous. I just did this with “Bold Italian” and “Barefoot Contessa at Home.” My surgery was two months ago today… and today […]

Today was busy and full. + took kona for a walk + vacuumed entire house + put laundry away + went to driving range with dad and Brian and watched Brian get a golfing lesson. The range is very small, north of our town, adjacent to a pasture full of black cattle, and uses the […]

what’s up doc

The “baby” carrot lie. I can’t stand “baby” carrots. They don’t even taste like real carrots, and they are not immature at all, rather they are chunks of unattractive full-grown carrots that have been cut to uniform size, peeled, rinsed, packaged, and sold at an incredibly high markup. Real carrots on the other hand, are […]

what’s for lunch

Last night I ate leftover brown rice with cheese on it for dinner. And some frozen blueberries. I felt pretty crummy about it, and found myself thinking about the lack of thought I’ve been putting into my diet. I’ve been working out more lately, but not really eating conscientiously. Like, earlier in the day I […]
