Hello all! I hope you’re having a productive start to the week. As of today I’m gearing up to head back to school tomorrow (or technically Wednesday since I don’t have classes Tuesday). Come May I’ll officially be done with my DPD coursework (party time!) – and after spending six years in school at that point I’m so ready for the internship and a transition to online learning. It definitely won’t be easier, but being in a classroom has become tiring after all this time.

I hate this time of year
Well, not completely. I guess what I really mean is I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year. I’m sure everybody can relate in some capacity (or I could just be crazy – it wouldn’t be unusual).
Sweet Temptation
Because, let’s face it, some of us have a gnarly sweet tooth that needs satiating.
Hello friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. It was gorgeous here in WNY, which was a wonderful change of pace. Unfortunately I worked all weekend so I didn’t get the chance to enjoy some sunshine and not-scorching-hot temperatures 😦 Oh the woes of a grad student. At least the it was nice for the golfers at the country club I work at!
Now how many of you have a sweet tooth? Don’t be shy to admit it, I’m certainly not. If I could be some childhood cartoon-puppet-thing (I guess Sesame St. characters are puppets?) I would be the Cookie Monster hands down. All of my friends know that if you want to make me happy, just give me a cookie and I’m set. I’m like a five year-old, I swear. Now this obsession also extends to chocolate-covered pretzels…whoops.
BUT let’s be honest, can I cave every time I want a chocolate chip cookie and buy one of the huge gourmet ones from Wegmans or Panera or Mrs. Fields? No, because not only is that expensive, but eating one every time I’m tempted would just be a recipe for disaster. So what do I do when that temptation strikes (it happens a lot, I’ll be honest)? Well today I’ve got some alternatives to satisfy your sweet tooth whether you’re craving that huge chocolate chip cookie or maybe it’s a slice of cake or something else!
The Moderation Movement
Moderation and balance, two of the most used words in a dietitian’s dictionary. But, as someone without the background in nutrition, what do those two words mean?
Hello everybody! I hope you all had a fantastic week. I know this was quite a busy one for me since I started my microbiology class. It’s going to be a challenging few weeks, let me tell you. Once upon a time I was a biology major so much of the material has a familiar feel to it, so that should help. But at the same time cramming all that information into just four weeks is going to be intense. That plus juggling three jobs – what have I done to myself this summer?
Anyways, today I wanted to bring to light something I’ve been seeing a lot of on Instagram and other social media sites.
Moderation.
Eating Well While Dining Out
The two are not mutually exclusive, I promise.
Hello everybody! For those of you in the US I hope you had a relaxing and fun Fourth of July filled with fireworks, BBQ, and lots of family and friend time! Unfortunately I was stuck working in the AM, but afterwards I was able to enjoy a cookout and have fun talking to a friend of my grandparents’ who happened to be a dietitian. Fun times!
Top 5 Tips to Stay Healthy on Vacation
Because when I think about summer I think about vacations and traveling, don’t you?!
Hello everybody! Well I wish I could say I was going on an exciting trip this summer, especially after watching vlogs and reading about other people’s trips all over. Alas, just because I’m not going on an exciting summer vacation doesn’t mean I can’t give you guys some tips to stay healthy while you’re out there seeing the world!
Fad Diets
Hello again! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for winter to be over. Luckily in the Northeast US we seem to be having a bit of a break in the weather (except for today apparently…) as we hit the just-over-halfway part of March. Time is sure flying, but you know what that means: summer is on its way! And with summer on its way, you know what that means.
