Hey there. Heidi here. Are you happy with your weight? As a fifty-something woman, for me it’s now a daily battle. I don’t know about you but fitting into my pants is super high on my list. I can’t afford to buy a new wardrobe every year. With a 5’3” petite frame, a 5 pound […]

A New Way To Fight Belly Fat
Well, hello belly fat. Who invited you to the party? Sometime between the ages of 40 and 50, ever so slowly, a new body part had appeared on my waistline. I noticed it one day when I attempted to zip up an old pair of jeans. What happened to that “relaxed fit?” Enter my new […]
Greek Quinoa Chop Salad
Yummy alert! This simple Greek Quinoa Chop Salad is a meal. Sure you can serve it as a side dish which I did a few days ago at Sherie and Michael’s BBQ. But in reality, this salad can hold its own as a main dish. How’s that you ask? Where’s the meat? Well, here’s the […]

Warm Roasted Potato and Kale Salad
I am in love with side dishes that include leafy greens. This is because I have a vegetable garden abounding with kale. I had a New Years Resolution this year to make this the best garden ever! Is twelve kale plants too many? LOL. I may sound like an overachiever but I love kale so […]
Become a Mindful Eater
I just ate a container of yogurt but I don’t remember eating it. I was reading the newspaper at the same time. Have you ever done that? How about sitting down in front of the TV with a bag of chips and eating half the bag or that tub of popcorn at the movies or […]
Improve Your Wellbeing
We often measure our well-being based on our health and our wealth, usually because its so easily measured. I came to this conclusion one day after a conversation with a close friend. “How are you?” I asked. “Well, I’m feeling good – no complaints and I still have a job” she said. And when she […]
Can Food Help Keep Our Memory Strong?
Today I forgot my neighbor’s name. Oh, sure I could give myself an out and say “That’s okay—I haven’t lived here long” but it doesn’t make me feel any better. I see her all the time. Memory is a precious gift. We take it for granted when we are young and laugh about “losing it” […]
