With all the interest in easy green smoothie recipes these days, I finally tried one. Funny that a registered dietitian waited so long but I just did.

Or, a meal-worthy salad full of colors and flavors might be your choice. Here are 5 tips for making lunch the midday fuel you need to meet the … [Read more...] about Featuring Lunch Options & Panini Sandwich Recipes!

Citrus Fruits, Vitamin C & A Fun Recipe!

September 17, 2024 By Cindy Silver

Citrus Fruits & Vitamin C! In the winter, I recommend we all pump-up our intake of vitamin C from citrus fruits. There are so many choices like sweet & seedless Clementines, grapefruit, tangerines, oranges, lemons, limes, and the list goes on. The great thing about getting your daily dose of vitamin C from citrus fruits is that you get a nutrient-rich package deal of vitamin C along with fiber, potassium, antioxidants, healthy carbs and a really sweet flavor! Here are all the details about vitamin C. Grow Your Own Citrus Tree! It is super easy to grow a lemon or lime tree at … [Read more...] about Citrus Fruits, Vitamin C & A Fun Recipe!

If you have decided to take up a fitness routine, here are some tips for fueling your body for optimal performance. Before a workout, it is important to eat carbohydrates.

Eat Like Your Grandmother Did

September 17, 2024 By Cindy Silver

Strawberries

Eat with the Season My grandmothers both loved to eat whatever was 'in season.' One grandmother was a backyard gardener and she grew tasty vegetables as well as beautiful flowers. Along with my grandfather, she set up their yard as a neat kitchen garden. My other grandmother didn't grow her own food, but she was particular about choosing what was freshest and fit the season. In May-June, both my grandmothers ate strawberries grown very locally. When we visited, we gobbled them up! Cook with a Simple Recipe My grandmothers learned to cook from their mothers. Many of the recipes they … [Read more...] about Eat Like Your Grandmother Did
