In just 28 days, I’ll be headed to Philadelphia to attended the Healthy Living Summit. I went last year, had an awesome time and am really looking forward to going again. A lot has changed since last August: I’m feeling more confident about Relishments and myself as a blogger. So, if you’re going to HLS [...]
Holy cow, its April! We’re a quarter of the way through the year! This post will not include any April Fool’s jokes because I’m the worst liar ever and no one would believe me. And I’m just not that creative. Still, there are plenty of other sites out there pulling off nice tricks: Caitlin’s Exciting [...]
I love the blogosphere. Caitlin, over at her blog Healthy Tipping Point posted great answer to the question What Does “Ethical Eating” Mean? yesterday I’ll get to Caitlin’s thoughts, and my own in a minute.

Definitely one of the best things I can use my blog to [...]
A couple months ago I started getting really excited about Jamie’s Food Revolution, a new TV show coming to ABC. The excitement started when he won the TED Prize (love TED!) this year. This video is of TED Prize speech: And here’s the premiere of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. It’s really good and I’m really [...]
My husband and I just had a discussion which ended with him sighing and rolling his eyes. Before that, it went like this: Me: Hmm… Him: What? Me: Dairy. Factory farms. Him: So? Me: Why do I not eat meat? Cue sigh and rolling of eyes. If you’re still confused, you probably didn’t watch ABC’s [...]
Brian and I were both sick all week. That’s my excuse for lack of posts this week. I wonder what my excuse will be next week :) This week I got the really cool opportunity to show one of my classes Food, Inc. Obviously, I was really excited about showing it and even more excited [...]
