		<title>A Great Breakfast Alternative &#8211; Teff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John and I were looking for an alternative to oatmeal and wheat-based breakfast cereals.  A friend of mine recommended we try Teff.  She ran across it at Whole Foods.  Teff is a North African grass.  The grain can be ground into flour and used in baking.

		<title>Be KIND to yourself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Clients often ask for recommendations for bars and other quick, portable, and shelf-stable foods they can keep with them for when they get in a food crunch.  They need something they can throw in a purse, bag, or glove box.  One of my favorite items to keep handy are KIND bars.

		<title>Cooking Should be Fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have learned to really enjoy cooking over the past few years.  I used not to enjoy it because I wasn&#8217;t very good at it.  I have invested in some good books and classes to help.  However, the one thing that has helped more than anything is just getting in the kitchen and cooking. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Nice Alternative to Cow Milk-Based Ice Cream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m intolerant to cow&#8217;s milk and the products made from cow&#8217;s milk.  Unfortunately, that includes ice cream.  I have not really been impressed by the alternatives until recently.  I stumbled on La Loo&#8217;s goat milk ice cream and frozen yogurt.  I seem to tolerate goat milk just fine, which makes these an option.  One of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving away from the scale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always had a love/hate relationship with the scale. In the past few years, I&#8217;ve convinced myself it doesn&#8217;t tell me my body composition but is just a number I can use as a benchmark. However, it is still frustrating to be told I look like I&#8217;m &#8220;losing weight&#8221; when the scale hasn&#8217;t moved or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Those tricky portion sizes</title>

		<title>Sometimes, you gotta Just Do It!</title>

		<title>Maintaining Your Weight is About Your Head, Not About the Food</title>

		<title>Do food companies want you fat?</title>
