There was a time when clients would ask my advice about protein bars and I would steer them the other direction.

However, protein bars are experiencing a comeback (from… Read More
If you’re a wine-lover, you’re going to want to read this. As a social drinker who appreciates a good glass – or two – of wine, but couldn’t shake the guilt I felt when drinking said glass – or two – of wine, I started to dig into how I could enjoy alcohol within the confines of my healthy lifestyle….

Today is National Protein Day (yes, there really is a day for everything!) so what better time to shed light on this oh-so-important-but-often-overlooked macronutrient. According to a recent survey, 37% of Americans don’t get enough protein and I believe that! The USDA recommendation is 45 grams of protein for women, but for most people that’s far too low!

It seems like ages ago now, but on New Year’s Day we headed to Vermont for a Winter ski getaway in Stowe. Skiing in the Northeast can always be a little icy, but I love going to Vermont for a Winter ski getaway because there’s so much natural beauty and always lots of good food.
