    CRAP.  With a side of crap.

    I am so sorry friends for being the worst blogger ever for the past 6 months.  There are many reasons for this lapse in writing: a) I got married last month, yay for me. b) I have been extremely lazy, boo for me c) I have been slightly overwhelmed with life and feeling very distracted since this summer and d) I have been extremely lazy.

    To begin- the wedding was WONDERFUL. Read more »

    I’m back guys!  Since summer has unofficially begun, I thought it would be a good idea to start the season off right with a super healthy, super delicious meal before we let the burgers, hot dogs and potato salad take over for the next 3 months!

    One of my absolute FAVORITES this time of year is basil.  I can’t get enough of it, and luckily, Read more »

    Hello friends!  How’s everyone coming along with their start of the year healthy resolutions?  Need some motivation?  Just ask my sister, Liz, how much better she feels when she’s eating healthfully.  While she may live in another city, if I could see her walking I’m sure there’d be more of a bounce to her step, because there’s certainly more bounce to her voice.  In talking with her I can tell she actually FEELS HAPPIER when she’s eating well.  She just sounds more positive and optimistic.  She was...

    If you live somewhere where Food, Inc. is playing, GO.  It’s amazingly eye opening.  It’s at Film Forum in NYC, and I know it’s playing in Pittsburgh, too.  I think Squirrel Hill.  Go!!

    Don’t you just love Martha Stewart, the woman who does it all? Well, I’ve submitted my blog for review to hopefully be featured on her own blog. Her blog:The Martha Blog has pretty much everything you can think of, but hopefully my faithful readers will continue to turn to me for advice on being happy and healthy!

    Wish me luck!

    Welcome everyone as I enter the world of blogging! As I imagine, only my friends are reading this right now, and introducing myself would be a bit unnecessary. However, for those who may have stumbled upon this through some distant social networking connection, I will make my first post brief and to the point. My name is Caitlin Grater, and as a holistic nutritionist, and health world enthusiast, people are always asking for advice. Have I read this book and that?; how much fruit is too much?; what do I eat on a daily basis for breakfast,...
