in category of Food & Drink, Lifestyle, Audra Rundle, GMOs

I’ve grown accustomed to looking past the fluorescent sale signs and instead seeking out the USDA Organic symbol on foods in the grocery aisle, but I’ve started seeing a new label out there, and it’s caught my attention. This new label depicts a simple abstract orange butterfly on a large blade of grass and a blue background.Read More »

Greek yogurt is everywhere. The yogurt cooler at the grocery store is quickly filling with this creamy treat, and ads featuring dreamboat John Stamos smiling over a cup of this dairy product are all over TV.

Navigating Organic Labeling

in category of Food & Drink, Lifestyle, Audra Rundle, Organic

Let’s face it. Trying to shop organically can be confusing. There are various interpretations of “organic,” and only slight word variations on the packaging help us differentiate them. Marketers are also working hard to make the food appear healthier than it is, such as coloring the packaging green and scrawling words like  “natural” and “fresh” all over a product, hoping we’ll automatically link that with “organic.” I know I’ve fallen for it, and it can be so frustrating to find out the product is not at all what you thought you were getting.Read More »

Watch Out for Diet Cocktails

in category of Food & Drink, Lifestyle, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, diet, drinks, weight loss

That low-calorie cocktail is going to end your night early and derail your diet, so why are you ordering one? Getting a cocktail made with a diet soda is kind of like ordering a combo at a fast food restaurant with that same diet soda; it seems like it’s too little, too late when you consider all of the calories in the other ingredients (alcohol is surprisingly heavy on the calories!).Read More »

Why don't more people shop organically?

The majority of people in the U.S. do not make a point to shop for organic and/or local food. Despite research and reports proving over and over how many unhealthy pesticides and other unnatural additives exist in non-organic food today, people keep buying it and eating it. Why? There are many reasons, but two seem to be most prevalent – cost and knowledge.Read More »

A Grocery Store Education

in category of Food & Drink, Lifestyle, Audra Rundle, Healthy living

Grocery shopping is a big deal in our house. Although my daughter and I could easily walk to a nearby Safeway any time, and my husband works at the largest natural foods co-op in the U.S., we opt to save our shopping lists for his days off and shop for our food as a family. It has become a beloved family activity and tradition that we look forward to each week.Read More »

Healthy Breakfast To-Go

in category of Food & Drink, Lifestyle, Abby Lee Hood, Healthy eating

As a college student, I’m constantly on the go. I’m never in one place for very long and I don’t usually spend the night in one place for more than two or three nights in a row. This makes breakfast really hard, because I’m constantly moving around.

So I’ve found some good choices for breakfast on the go – these are options I’ll eat almost everyday – and I’m going to share them with you. Whatever the reason for your hurry – whether it’s hitting the road or escaping your enemies – these foods will work for you. Read More »

Mexican Quiche with Samantha Bann

in category of Food & Drink, Chef Samantha Bann, recipes, Samantha Bann

One of my favorite breakfast meals is quiche. Now, breakfast has a tendency to become redundant. You eat scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes, and so on…but it gets old, right? There’s only so much you can do with the daily staples.

So here is a meal that is both a little bit different but always tasty. The best part of it is you can make it the night before let it cool and reheat in the morning while your coffee is brewing!Read More »

Introducing the Fruitarians

Yes, there are people out there who only eat fruit. No, this is not healthy.
Yes, there are people out there who only eat fruit. No, this is not healthy.

Moderation and balance are the two ideas that, if you live by them, will keep you on a healthy diet. You can eat just about anything in moderation and balance out your caloric intake with energy output. You’ll stay healthy as long as you get a balanced diet full of different foods that will give you all of the nutrients you need. Given that these two ideas are so important, it’s no surprise that a person can’t live on any one type of food alone.Read More »
