Healthnuttxo

I'm lisa and I loooove healthy food! The lifestyle I chose to live is eating only natural or organic food products, minimally processed whenever possible. What I can't stand is that people may automatically assume all "health food" that I eat isn't flavorful or tasty.

THIS IS NOT TRUE! Why would I eat stuff that doesn't taste good? So my mission is to spread the word that "healthy" does not mean "tasteless". Healthy food can be just as yummy as the not-so healthy types!

I'll let you know what foods are good, and which ones aren't so good. :)

I eat too much

I have tried every diet out there, Weight Watchers, South Beach, Jenny Craig and Spark People. And it's always the same thing...I diet, I lose, I diet, I lose and even now I am munching on some Riceworks Brown Rice crisps. So I decided, VERY PUBLICLY, to post my food journal, one more to log my journey. And I also decided to try natural food, because it's like, maybe there is something to all those preservatives that are making me gain weight? (well, it's a thought).

So, a little about me: I am fortyish (the ish can swing either way) and weighh, OK, enough to lose 10 or 20 lbs. I know it's not the biggest thing to want to lose 10 pounds, but you know what? I used to weight 120. So it seems with every year, I gain 1 or 2, which means more and more and yes, guessed it MORE. I ain't getting any younger, so it's MY time now baby!

Laura Dean

I am a writer, blogger, kvetcher, single mom but mostly eater! Sometimes it's fine dining, sometimes it's cooking in-- but living in Manhattan, that's a rare treat. I mean, if you lived surrounded by more restaurants than apartment buildings, wouldn't you be tempted to never cook? I admit at the end of the month when VISA arrives my bank account is none too happy. But my tummy sure is! Anyway, since I'm always trying to lose those 10 pounds (who isn't?) and trying to eat healthy at the same time, I figured I'd share my trials and tribulations, my ups my downs, my recipes and my great food finds with all you out there who are in the same boat as I am. A journey to find great foods, great recipes and great wines!

Peanut Butter and Jenny

Just a small town girl living in a nutty world.

In a few short words: I am a 19 year old English major at Sacred Heart University with a passion for family, love, creativity, yoga, and i kind of like peanut butter too ;). Sure, those are just a few tidbits about me but what is the story of the girl behind the jar?

Gluten Free is Life

I am a gluten-free wife, runner & blogger with two children in Columbus, Ohio. After my celiac diagnosis in 2006, I have made it my mission to embrace an entirely new approach to nutrition in a gluten-free world, exploring options that run the gamut from “made from scratch” homemade bread to sampling and reviewing the gluten-free prepared foods that are continuously being introduced to the market. While navigating the waters of becoming gluten-free, I share my experiences and pass along valuable product reviews in addition to helping other moms of celiac kids develop healthy menus that are kid-friendly and palatable. I feel that I am a valuable resource for those who are newly diagnosed, as well as for the more seasoned gluten-free veterans?

In addition to this blog, my baby, I also write for the Examiner and Celiac-Disease.com. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. I am happy to help.
