Did you know that the Greek have the most healthy diet of the entire world? After having visited Greece myself in 2010, it’s not hard for me to see why. While most of us here, in Boston at least, associate Greek restaurants with lamb gyros, french fries, and baklava, the country itself has a much…
About 3 months ago, I casually Instagramed some chicken nuggets that I made for dinner. Really didn’t think much of it actually. I’ve done this several times, you know, health up a chicken nugget. But to be honest, I neither grew up on nuggets, nor really cared much about them. Any instance I can remember…
I’m not sure exactly when I made the breakfast mind change. I suspect it was right after the cleanse I did in 2011. Either way, I used to absolutely detest breakfast…I mean haaaated it! I remember getting in trouble with my trainer several times for not eating breakfast before a morning workout. He may have…
There are various parts of me and my personality that scream out my part Irish blood. Mostly I can drink like a man. But I blame that mostly on tons of practice with my former boss when I was in law, who is much more Irish than I am! However, if you know me, you…
I am a Whole Foods shopper for several reasons. The biggest reason is because I like good produce and getting into the best local store for produce, Market Basket, is a nightmare. If you live in Somerville, you’ve likely been stuck in the traffic on Somerville Ave. created by people going into their ridiculously large…
I can’t even tell you how many of my friends have insisted that I buy a zucchini noodle “zoodle” making machine. A whole ton of my friends here are Paleo and hopefully reading my blog week to week. Those friends that are Paleo have insisted that I try this since I love eating spaghetti squash.…
I am a crazed burger eater. Ask my husband. I legit suggest Boston Burger Company nearly every single time he asks if I want to go out to eat! In fact, I’ve spent substantial time coming up with ways to justify it. My first justification was post tabata class when I started taking it last…
My whole life I’ve been a mayonnaise eater. My dad is too, so I guess it’s in my DNA. I basically put it on everything. And for all those non-mayo eaters out there, ask yourself this. Do you eat aioli? Yeah? Well, if ya do, you’re my husband. And you’re also being tricked into believing…
One of the things that Josh and I missed most about Kentucky when we first moved to Somerville was the accessibility to outdoor dining. Because there are so many months that you can eat outside there, most of the restaurants have patios. So one night many years ago, Josh and I went on a search…
I cook stir fry every once in a blue moon. The reason? Because it’s quick and simple. Well, I say simple, but I don’t actually mean it. Yes, sautéing vegetables and protein is easy. However, the truth is, I think it’s extraordinarily difficult to get the sauce right. Especially if you’re not drowning it in…
