Sustainable Food 101

4 Comments

Food connects us with our world view, our taste buds, and our wallets. It is an expression of our culture. Today, I am going to expand on my food philosophy. While my foundational knowledge of food comes from my science background, not all of my food choices are based on the nutrition they provide.

The Oat: A Tribute

11 Comments

There you are, looking out the window at a cold winter morning. The air has a chill you can’t shake. Enter my best winter breakfast friend: oatmeal. Pour the grains in a bowl, add liquid, pop in the microwave, sprinkle with a favorite topping. In a few minutes, you have a warm, chewy mouthful of comforting oatmeal. Goodbye chilly, hello cozy!

17 Simple Switches to Save you up to 57 Pounds this New Year

2 Comments

Let’s make this message simple: weight loss is complicated. In order to reach and keep a healthy weight, you must make changes that you can commit to for life. And you must at least consider food, exercise, sleep, emotional health, stress, occupation, and your environment.

Without further adieu, here are 17 swaps you can make this year that when combined, save up to 57 pounds worth of calories! 1

Notes:

  1. What do I mean by “saving” pounds? In a perfect world, if you lived the same life this year as you did last year (ate the same, slept the same, exercised the same, etc) and ONLY switched this one item, you would lose the “saved” pounds. Because we don’t live in a perfect world, these calculations are not a guarantee. Remember: this is meant to illustrate the big impact one simple swap could have! ↩

What my 90-year-old Grandpa has taught me about purposeful living

Leave a comment

During the week of his 90th birthday, my grandpa played 18 holes of golf, 8 days in a row, with his sons. One score was lower than his age.
