So, usually when my bananas get too many freckles, I peel them and freeze them and use them in smoothies. Yesterday, however, I had the urge to get a little more creative with them.
Tweaking a recipe I found online, I created a spongey, sweet, and delicious banana bread that even you gluten eaters would probably appreciate!
Here’s...
It seems to me that there are just too many nutrition “laws” out there these days. No wonder people are so confused. There are dozens of top-selling diet plans out there all claiming their method is the cure-all to losing weight and keeping it off. Atkins, Mediterranean-style, vegan, Zone, low-carb/high-protein, super cleanses….it can be exhausting! Then throw in excessive and extremely misleading marketing on top of that…”Whole Grains!” (tons of sugar!), “100 calories!” (tons of chemicals),...
Happy Monday everyone. Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
I am gradually getting healthier and healthier now that we’re getting more settled, and I’m able to get groceries regularly. My cravings for the starchy and sweet have been getting much better, and I credit this to the increased inclusion of one particularly healthy root vegetable into my weekly routine: the sweet potato.
Most health-conscious people probably have a myriad of misinformation on potatoes, thinking that because starches and carbs have been demonized,...
OK, I need to vent. I tried to casually dust off the recent news about Paula Deen’s admission to having Type 2 diabetes, but the more I think about it, the more it REALLY irks me. I mean, it should come as no surprise that she is afflicted, given the food she’s been justifying to Americans for years that it’s OK to make. However, now being faced with a serious – AND REVERSIBLE- disease, she signs an endorsement deal with a pharmaceutical company and vows to not change the way she cooks or eats. SERIOUSLY?!?!
I’m...
It’s a new week. A new start. A new opportunity to pick yourself up and try again (except for our poor Steelers who have to wait til next season 
)
How did your weekend go? Did you over-indulge? Drink too much, snack too much? I did alright this weekend, even with football festivities going on in our house yesterday. I made an organic turkey chili, fresh guacamole and served carrots and celery with hummus. Ameesh made...
I am really trying to live up to my resolution to blog more! And make good on my word to start moving more, which thankfully, I have done. Little by little, but something nonetheless…
I’ve put in a few rounds of push-ups over the last few days, took a streaming “CardioSalsa” class on Netflix yesterday, and did some weight exercises and a couple of ballet combos using my upstairs banister as a barre this morning. Not to mention, made myself go up and down the stairs multiple times! In addition, I have been stretching...
Two days in a row, I’m reaching out! Stumbled across this song today which is a nice, albiet, brief summation of some of the issues with GMO foods, an issue that is very important to me, not only for my own health, but for the implications it has in a host of world issues…
So sing along, and start doing your own research and be inspired to swap out your kitchen for GMO free foods!
Hello everyone! Long time no see. With the dawning of a new era in my life, I figured I should get back on track with the blog. The past few months have been a bit busy to say the least. The end of 2011 saw major life changes in the Grater/Kapoor household and it’s been quite a ride so far!
To recap: In early September we found out we’re having our first baby! Hooray! Then via a happenstance conversation at a wedding in Pittsburgh a month later, Ameesh landed a job with a pretty cool company back in my hometown. We quickly...
