Grocery Shopping Tours are a great hands-on way to learn about good nutrition. With a nutritionist as your guide, nutrition 101 is made simple as together you explore the store – learn how to choose healthy, whole food options for meals and snacks. Be a better consumer by learning to read and understand food labels. A personalized grocery tour is tailored just for you, giving you the tips and information you need to help you meet your health and wellness goals.
Read the this article in the Seattle Times. It gives you a sneak peak at a grocery tour we led last week!

Yes, it’s true, I am learning to play the piano. And I am loving it. I experience pure delight, appreciation of the moment, mindful yet relaxed focus, and surprising patience. While that may not seem to have anything at all to do with good nutrition, it does have everything to do with embracing change, loving life, and making choices that nourish and sustain your mind, body, and spirit. I encourage you to welcome opportunities for new experiences, try new skills, challenge yourself…and keep moving in the direction of your vision of your very best self!
I am also learning how to record, edit, and post audio podcasts (look for upcoming “living well” audio podcasts!). This post is a sampling of both of my budding skills.
Just for fun…here is a sample of my rendition of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Minuet in G Major (No. 1).
To life!

Garlic has a colorful history. It has been used for everything from enhancing one’s love life as an aphrodisiac, to an object 
of worship by the Egyptians, to warding off vampires and protecting against the “evil eye.” It was used by Grecian athletes as a strength enhancer, and given to soldiers before they went off to war. All of that aside, garlic does offer cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral benefits, and may protect against some forms of cancer. Read more
Dear Jess, Thanks for your last post on home made nutrition bars. I usually avoid buying snack bars for my kids because of the cost. On Sunday, my 2 daughters (ages 9 and 11) and I tried out the recipe for “Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Bars”. It was an easy, fun activity and the girls love the bars. And so do I! They have been enjoying them as after-school snacks (and sometimes bedtime snacks). Thanks for the good idea! DC
I am so happy to hear you like the bars; thanks for sharing your experience with me!
Let me also include my own review of the nutritional bar recipes that I tested last Saturday. The goal was to provide you with a healthy, tasty snack alternative to expensive commercial bars. Having tested a few batches of different recipes in a morning, I, also, attest to the fact that they are, indeed, fun and easy to make. And, in comparison with commercial bars going for upwards of $2.50 for organic, whole food bars, the homemade variety are much less expensive. I used all organic ingredients for my bars and my rough estimate for the Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice bars was less than 50 cents a serving. Be forewarned though…they are so good that it would be easy to eat $2.50 worth! Read more
