And we are already half-way through November! I’ve been remiss again on posting my menu plans. I’ve had a loose plan in my head the past few weeks, but jam-packed weekend activities, time with family, and lots of work testing out recipes for My Menutrition have put my blogging on the back burner a bit along […]
Still Time for Summer Fun in the Kitchen
July 15, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Here in Georgia, school is starting back in 3 short weeks. It is hard to believe school is so close, which makes it feel like the end of summer is at hand, which it clearly isn’t. There is still plenty of time for summer adventures, and of course I love those that involve the kitchen. These […]
Is Fresh Produce Always Best?

How many servings of fruits and vegetables do you eat each day? What about your children? It’s probably not surprising that according to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Americans are not eating enough fruits and vegetables; and, there are a number of reasons why. There is also a great deal […]
Menu Plan Monday – October 28
October 28, 2013 by 1 Comment
I apologize for not posting a new menu plan last week. I thought I would have time to get it up either before I left for my conference or during the conference. Obviously neither happened. I was away for five days at the annual Food and Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE) for the Academy of […]
Recipe Redux – Fig Preserves
August 21, 2013 by 13 Comments
This month’s Recipe Redux theme is Raising the Bar on Food in a Jar. I’m sure you may have noticed on Pinterest that meals in a mason jar are all the rage from Overnight Oats (which I should probably try but my bowl works just fine) to Salads. I guess if I didn’t work from […]

Have Snacks. Will Travel. This month’s Recipe Redux theme is all about packing healthy snacks for the road. This couldn’t have come at a better time as I was in the airport when I saw the theme with some of my favorite snacks already packed in my bag, as you see in the picture above. […]

March is National Nutrition Month and this year is the 40th anniversary of the observation. Each year is a different theme helping people focus on different aspects of eating a healthy diet. This year’s theme is “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day.” I was on Better Mornings Atlanta this morning showcasing this year’s theme as […]
Chocolate Cherry Avocado Muffin Recipe
March 10, 2013 by Leave a Comment
I created this recipe for Primrose Schools’ blog, 360 Parenting, in honor of American Heart Month, which is February. While it is no longer February, eating heart healthy should be done year-round. Lucky for us that dark chocolate, avocados and tart cherries contribute to a heart healthy diet. And really, how could you possibly resist these delicious […]
Are Organic Foods Better For You?
February 25, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Organic food is a controversial subject that brings up many emotions, particularly when it comes to feeding children. There is a “halo effect” around organic foods: people automatically assume if something is organic, it is inherently healthier. But is that really the case? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently conducted an extensive review of […]
Menu Plan Monday – October 8

Yesterday we did my favorite fall activity – apple picking at Mercier Orchards! We went last year for the first time and it will always be an annual event for our family. It was pretty chilly and overcast, but that did not deter us from our fun. The apples are not sprayed with pesticides so […]
