Crispy Coconut Sole with Jalapeño Raspberry Sauce
I grew up on the East Coast, by the ocean, and I was also raised Catholic (No meat on Fridays during Lent!), so I am no stranger to weekly meals including fish. My husband, however, hates fish. This recipe is an attempt to mask that “fishy flavor” and serve up something everyone will enjoy.

I’m so happy that sweet treat options are ever-expanding. To be sure, no candy is really HEALTHY, but if you’re going to have a treat, have one without a bunch of junky ingredients.

Read MoreHealthier Eating: It Ain’t Always Simple
I giggle a little when people step onto dietary soapboxes and tout their particular eating style as the healthiest, or the best, or the simplest, or the quickest way to poop like a caveman. Don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly guilty of the food claims, and most of my writing is directed towards making changes in the dietary health arena. But I think some Americans are a bit out of touch with food issues in this country, and certainly how difficult it may be for their peers to make fitting changes. A few weeks ago, a guest blogger posted this infographic on my site. It brings up the...
Read MoreWhat Does “In Moderation” Mean to You?
We hear these phrases often: “Everything in moderation,” “It’s fine in moderation,” “It’s safe–in moderation.”. “Moderation” is such a relative term, though, no? What does “in moderation” mean to you? I’ve always known my version of “in moderation” is quite different from most, but it wasn’t until recently that I realized it’s FAR different from the definition with which I grew up.

Read MoreMan Up! Take the Macho Out of Nachos & Find Strength in #Health
When my husband and I first started dating, we began a mutual journey into veganism. He made the change for health reasons, and I did it because I loved him madly. The first family function he attended with me was my large, Catholic, kielbasa-gorged family’s annual Christmas party. I knew I had to marry this man when he braved the meat gauntlet (I’m pretty sure there was an entire roasted pig at this particular event) and side-eyes from those who didn’t understand when he said, “I don’t eat meat.” Also impressive: his agility at leaping aside when a large...
