Read MoreHealthy Grab and Go Snacks PLUS a Giveaway!
Not until I was pregnant did I learn the real value of having healthy and portable snacks on hand at all times. Pregnancy, especially that wicked first trimester, was rife with hunger that struck suddenly and severely, and I quickly learned to never leave the house with at least one filling snack in my bag. Pregnant or not, it pays to have healthy nibbles within reach because your options are pathetically limited if you’re forced to rely on restaurants, convenience stores or the office vending machine. I’ve tried – more than once – to convince myself a McDonald’s...
Read MoreBody After Baby: What’s Working For Me
Now that my daughter is 12 weeks old and I’m fully back in the swing of a fitness routine, I thought I’d share a post-baby body update. There’s good news (I’ve lost all the baby weight!) and bad news (my body ain’t what it used to be), and I don’t want to brag about or bash my body.

Looking at my day of eating, I know I need to up my fruit and veggie intake, and I realize I used to eat a lot more protein before I got pregnant. That was mostly because I was lifting heavy – which I...
Read MorePecorino and Broccoli Frittata
This meal started out as me trying to make something halfway decent out of the few items we had on hand, and ended with me scrambling to remember exactly how I made it so I could get it down on paper; it was that good. Things like that don’t happen to me often, but when they do I can almost convince myself I have a real talent for cooking Like so many of my recipes, this one is easy to tailor to your tastes or the ingredients in your fridge; you could swap the broccoli for asparagus, try a shallot instead of an onion or use Parmesan instead of Pecorino (or, better yet,...
