This is an old post is from another blog.  I wrote it October 28, 2006.  Tomorrow it will make sense! At home*, we eat healthy or at least what I believe is healthy, basically an organic whole-food kosher diet. Actually, if you know me well, you know I can get a bit obsessive and annoying […]

Today for lunch my kids were going to eat taquitos when the $&*! hit the fan.  We were out of sour cream.  I was about to remind them that they are lucky to have food at all when I remembered I my sweet friend Rachel told me she used Greek Yogurt in place of sour […]

I love to make lists. All sorts of lists. Anytime I want to procrastinate, I procrastinate by writing of list of things I won’t get done because I’ll procrastinate again by making another list.

In case you are wondering. I thought I’d share a basic overview of what I eat. First of all, I eat 5-6 meals a day. It’s true. All those articles you’ve read in US about celebrities eating 5-6 small meals a day really DO work.  AS LONG as they consist of the right foods. What […]
