Creating Balance
Research indicates that many of us establish new goals or resolutions for the New Year but don’t get to starting those goals until months later (March or April).

Have a Healthy Heart
The Mediterranean Diet is the perfect blend of heart healthy food full of flavor, easy to prepare, and has been prescribed as the “diet” to live a long and healthy life.

Not only does the Mediterranean diet contribute to a decreased risk for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease; but the Mediterranean lifestyle also plays a major role in one’s quality of life and longevity. The lifestyle includes slowing down to enjoy and savor the food that is served , sharing meals as a family in both the preparation and while eating, and engaging in regular physical activity.

Farmers Mkt: Rhubarb Concentrate
If you think the only thing you can do with rhubarb is add it to fruit pies…
think again. This past weekend I returned from a trip to Lake Placid, NY and drove through Keene Valley (45 min south of Placid). I enjoyed stopping at a large Farmer’s Market and noticed a vendor dedicated to selling Rhubarb Concentrate. As a “foodie” I had to buy some. Adirondack Rhubarb Traditions rhubarb concentrate is make in Bloomingdale, NY which is in the heart of the Adirondacks.
Rhubarb is actually a vegetable – not a fruit and was surprised to hear about all the wonderful things you can do with the concentrate. Rhubarb, like apples, can hold moisture in recipes and the concentrate can be used to make salad dressings, sauces (fish, pork, chicken) and can be added to salads and soups.

Gluten Free Concession Stand at Ballpark
Thanks to Aramark Food Corp. I was able to enjoy gluten free foods at the Coors Stadium in Denver last week.

For those of us with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance eating at the ballpark can sometimes be a challenge.

Why Food & Exercise Logs Help with Weight Loss
This coming year – 2010 – you are going to reach your weight loss goals! Changing your eating habits is the key to success and keeping a food and exercise log or journal will help you reach your goals. The American Journal of Preventative Medicine conducted a study that showed people who logged their food intake lost twice as much weight as dieters who did not keep a food log. This study goes to show us that when we have to log and report to someone, we tend to think twice about the food choices we make. There are many ways to log your food intake and exercise strategies! These include:

Great Holiday Recipe!
I love this healthy holiday recipe and hope you enjoy it too!
It is from my colleague’s book Quick and Healthy Volume II.

Serve this fat-free cheesecake during the holiday season. The top will crack when cooking, so plan on serving with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping to hide the cracks. This recipe is for a 9″ pie pan.
