A few months ago I posted about the difference between a sweet potato and a regular white potato. CLICK HERE to check it out. The bonus with a sweet potato is that it does not spike your insulin levels the way a regular potato does partly because of the higher fiber content. Now, here is my issue [...]

It’s just coming to the end of blueberry season so we better take advantage of the few weeks we have left! Compared with over 20 other fruits including strawberries and cranberries, blueberries have shown to have the highest antioxidant activity. 1 Cup of Blueberries contains 14 mg of Vitamin C and .8 mg of Vitamin E. In addition to the high antioxidant [...]

I was recently on a trip visiting family where I was introduced to Bison! I can’t believe I have never had Bison before. Especially because it’s so lean and it tastes and looks just like beef! Here is the nutritional statistics on 4 ounces of lean ground Bison versus 4 ounces of lean ground Beef 4 ounces Calories Carbohydrates Protein Fat Cholesterol Bison 138 [...]

I know I sound like every health book out there when I tell you to eat almonds. Yup, they’re good for you and because of the fiber and protein in them, they are supposed to help keep you full. Of all the nuts, almonds have the highest amount of protein, fiber (over 10% of your RDA), Calcium (Just under 10% [...]

I’ve rediscovered something from childhood that I’m so excited about! When was the last time you had Yogen Fruz? My husband and I went to the movies the other night. Normally we grab an extra large hot tea to take into the theater with us so that we can avoid the snack bar all together. [...]

I really love it when I find products that make my life easier. Especially healthy ones! If you live in Canada, this post is for you! Loblaws has a line of products under the umbrella “Blue Menu”. They are apparently all healthy and light, although I’ve only tried one so far. A client recommended their chicken skewers to me and I [...]

I love, love, love the feedback, questions and concerns everyone writes in – so thank you and keep ‘em coming! Sometimes when I receive a comment, I think it’s worthy of it’s very own post. Having said that, this post is kind of a follow up to a previous post. Yesterday I wrote that I would rather grab [...]

Let me preface this post by saying that I always think real food (likea cheese string or an apple) is a better choice then reaching for a bar. But there are times when these things are not available and a bar is the next best option. There is so much crap out there that when I find [...]

I’m so excited to share this with you! I know, it’s silly to get excited about food, but I can’t help myself! Have you ever heard of a  Shirataki noodle ? They are a tofu based noodle that you can use as you would a pasta noodle. You can buy them in the States under the brand [...]

I feel kinda sad for corn on the cob. It’s so delicious and so easy to make, yet so many people avoid it. After the Atkins diet came, corn got a really bad wrap. And even though the Atkins Diet has gone away, for some reason the assumption that corn is a bad food has stayed around. [...]
