There are some people in this world, namely my husband and mother-in-law, who don't really care about dessert. They don't like cake, are impartial to ice cream, and only eat cookies on occasion. I think they're crazy and I'm definitely not one of those people.

Let’s talk barbecues. Memorial Day is right around the corner and with it comes a summer filled with outdoor eating. Barbecues, picnics, and pitch-ins can be a scary foodscape to navigate when you’re trying to eat healthy. My suggestion is to take your diet into your own hands! Bring your own healthified dish for everyone to enjoy. Not only will it ensure you have something to nosh on, but it may convince a few fellow party-goers that healthy eating isn’t such a bad way of life.

Summer is on its way, and it’s time for cookouts, parties, music festivals, and baseball! And although you guys tend to keep busy with softball leauges, outdoor treks, and general shenanigans, your love handles can still find a way to affix themselves to your newly sun-kissed statures.

What’s a fella to do? The good news is that you don’t have to eat salad every day. Your favorite foods can be prepared in a way that makes them delicious AND nom-worthy. So, good sirs, put down your Sam Adams and read on.

Memorial Day is one of my favorite holidays, not only because America remembers the heroes who have served our country, but because it's a tradition that I spend it with my family. The weekend also kicks summer into high gear, and that calls for refreshing, fruity drinks! My fam gets together to make good food, drink, and have a good time!

As we go through life, we're constantly categorizing (whether consciously or subconsciously) everything that crosses our path. He is this. She is that. These are different. That's the same. Yet, where does this lead us? No day is ever the same. And it’s this sense of variety that most of us thrive on and live for. So, why is that when it comes to analyzing our eating habits, we feel the need to categorize them as either “good” or “bad”? Let's dig into this a bit further.

It's hard to believe that strawberry season is right around the corner. We’re all quite familiar with these sweet, tangy, and bright red berries. But did you know that on top of being naturally delicious, they’re also a rockstar superfood?

I have a confession to make—I'm one of those people who sneaks food into the movie theatre. I know, I know, bad girl! It's not about the money, in fact, I'd happily pony up some of my hard-earned cash if the movie theatre concession stands provided healthier snack options. All that I've seen is buttered popcorn, soda, candy, and hot dogs. Until they get on the healthy eating bandwagon, I'm going to keep on keeping on with my large snack-filled purse.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I had just got the notice that my divorce was final and I knew I was ready for change. I don’t remember if I saw a picture of myself, heard a comment from someone, or what exactly “clicked," but Gary (my new personal trainer) must have noticed something.

The expectation for college students is to eat whatever you can, whenever you can, as long as it's cheap. But I didn't. I started meal planning sophomore year. Sundays were spent seeking out deals in the local ads, creating a meal plan and shopping list, grocery shopping, and finally, preparing food for the week. Meal planning may seem like a hassle, but it actually comes with a lot of benefits.
