I’m back and ready to go! I have finally settled into my new Hudson Valley digs, got my new website functional and had a little extra time to create a healthy St. Patty’s Day meal. Many of you, especially my Irish friends are chuckling about this. Who on earth eats healthy on St. Patrick’s Day? [...]
I really put myself to the test with the Shed the Layers Challenge. It started February 14th, I moved March 1st and then proceeded to go on a 5 day vacation! Sometimes I wonder about myself…can we say spreading oneself very thin??!! Well, the good news is I have managed to stay consistently active. People [...]
I am patting myself on the back after preparing this super yum vegetable lasagna last night. I had four generations at the dinner table, including Great Grandma DiGiovanni, and the whole gang gave me two thumbs up…especially LLB!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Let’s love our bodies this year. As discussed in my last post, Spring is right around the corner and soon we’ll be wearing less and showing more. That said, we need to tighten it up, literally! We can only hide behind our down puffy coats and wool sweaters for so much longer. [...]
After countless holiday parties, followed by New Years Eve, followed by blizzard induced cabin fever, followed by the Superbowl…the eating, drinking & hibernating is over!
