Spring Cleaning the Fridge and Pantry

In Dimensions of Wellness, Nutrition and Eats  •  by Melissa, April 30, 2019  •  
Where my Wellness Warriors at? Today I thought I’d talk a bit about cleaning out and restocking the fridge and pantry. This topic provides a veritable smorgasbord (see what I did there?) of wellness goodness. Nutrition? Check. Self care? Check. Mindfulness? Double check.

Counting Calories versus Counting Macros

In Dimensions of Wellness, Nutrition and Eats  •  by Melissa, March 12, 2019  •  
We have been hearing a lot about macros and the benefit to counting and tracking these versus standard calorie tracking. And it looks like this trend might have some staying power. Many of the most popular eating paradigms right now rely on macronutrient tracking. Macro...

Berry Overnight Oats

In Nutrition and Eats, Recipes  •  by Melissa, February 12, 2019  •  
For the longest time in my teens and early twenties, I didn’t eat breakfast. And I also didn’t feel my best during the day. At some point during my undergrad education, all those nutrition classes took hold and I got wise to the breakfast game....

Post Holiday Reset

In Nutrition and Eats, Planning and Programming  •  by Melissa, January 8, 2019  •  
Here we are a bit more than a week removed from the new year and the holiday season. Hopefully routines are returning to normal, or new normal as the case may be with workouts and eating habits. Sometimes the sluggishness that we acquire with all...

As the holiday season swings into high gear, I am hoping that you guys are finding at least a bit of time for wellness and self care. It’s getting to be time, at least in my house, to think about holiday baking. For the record,...

Veggie Scrap Stock

In Nutrition and Eats  •  by Melissa, September 26, 2018  •  
I am always amazed at the number of people who buy stock at the grocery store. I’m sure we have Rachael Ray to thank for the huge variety now available. And she’s right; it definitely takes something plain, like rice, and jazzes it up. But...

Good and Bad

In Dimensions of Wellness, Nutrition and Eats  •  by Melissa, August 29, 2018  •  
How many of you out there in internetland saw this? And how many of you then saw this? Ah, claims and backlash, the bread and butter (coconut oil?!?!) of the internet. The health claims about coconut oil are nothing particularly new. For several years now,...

Roasted (Freezer) Tomatoes Two Ways

In Nutrition and Eats, Uncategorized  •  by Melissa, August 22, 2018  •  
Tomatoes. They scream late summer to me. My guess is if you’ve seen a farmer’s market or stand lately, some of the bins are starting to overflow with tomatoes. While I profess myself to be a fairly healthful eater, raw tomatoes are something I have...

Zoats

In Nutrition and Eats, Uncategorized  •  by Melissa, June 13, 2018  •  
I try to be pretty positive on this blog. I think it helps in motivating people. I mean, sometimes exercising hurts and eating healthfully is hard, so a little bit of cheerleader mixed with some sarcastic humor is, I feel, a good thing. Today, though….

Sweet Potato Toast

In Nutrition and Eats, Uncategorized  •  by Melissa, May 30, 2018  •  
I am waaaaay late to the party on this. That’s what happens when you have a kid. Everything sort of stops in your little bubble of the universe for a bit. I could not tell you where my favorite baseball team finished in the standings...
