The Case for Oreos

July 20, 2011 by Sally

On my Sunday perusal through the coupon circulars, I came across an advertisement for a new product that stopped me in my tracks. WhoNu? cookies may look a lot like Oreos but according to the ad, they pack as much fiber as a bowl of oatmeal, as much vitamin C as a cup of blueberries, …

Vacation, All I Never Wanted

July 13, 2011 by Sally

I loosen up a lot about food when we’re on vacation. There are quite a few things I don’t keep in the house (like hot dogs and Hawaiian Punch) that I don’t mind my kids having once in a while. Ditto for visiting friends or relatives. I was once at a gathering where a mom …

Easy Homemade Macaroni & Cheese

July 11, 2011 by Sally

Despite my love affair with bento last year, I’m relieved to have a break from packing Henry’s lunchbox. But lunches at home can be challenging too. So I like to keep a box of macaroni and cheese on hand. Around here, it’s considered a treat. (It’s loaded with sodium and the cheese comes in a …

Improving Sports Snacks: How To Answer Questions From Parents

June 20, 2011 by Sally

I’m happy to report that the t-ball team parents have done a terrific job with snacks. While the opposing team is grabbing Capri Suns and Cheetos, the Orioles are eating bananas and apple slices and nobody’s complaining about it. At least not to my face. Except for this exchange that happened on the way home …

THAT Mom: The Sequel

THAT Mom: The Sequel

June 8, 2011 by Sally

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the parade of crappy sports snacks at my son’s soccer games–and I vowed to push for a change the next opportunity I got. So when t-ball started a few weeks ago, I immediately wrote to the coach and asked if we could establish a healthier snack policy. His response: “I …

Soccer Mom Soapbox

May 6, 2011 by Sally

As a dietitian, I try very hard to a) be helpful when asked and b) not be bossy and preachy and in everyone’s business when it comes to food (my husband may disagree with this). I really don’t want to be That Mom. You know her: The one who rails against toxic diapers in landfills …

Very Lemony Homemade Hummus

March 9, 2011 by Sally

Homemade hummus is as easy as pushing a button! Skip the store bought and try this easy recipe instead. When I finally got around to making homemade hummus, I couldn’t believe how simple it was. I’d been spending way too much money on store-bought hummus that wasn’t half as good. I love it because it …

How I Got My (Fitness) Groove Back

January 17, 2011 by Sally

Once upon a time, there was a woman who exercised regularly during her pregnancy. When her baby was born, she took Mommy and Me Pilates classes and logged miles with her jogging stroller. During naptime, she did squats while folding freshly laundered onesies. This woman is not me. I read about her in magazines, so …

Snacking Insanity -- Real Mom Nutrition

Snacking Insanity

May 12, 2010 by Sally

I own approximately three-thousand plastic kid-size snacks bowls in a variety of colors and sizes. There have been large schools of Goldfish crackers living under my sons’ carseats, and I used to empty out the contents of my purse and shake it free of pretzel and graham cracker debris almost weekly. I am familiar with …

Stop Eating Food From Your Kids’ Plates!

March 8, 2010 by Sally

In my self-righteous, childless days, I had a very long list of things I said I’d never do once I had them: change a diaper on an airplane seat, let my toddler run screaming through Target—and definitely never eat my kids’ food scraps. Even those cute, young dads licking away the drips on their child’s …

Do You Have A Feeding Strategy?

February 4, 2010 by Sally

I was reading one of my go-to blogs, Raise Healthy Eaters, when I came across a post called “Why Every Parent Needs A Feeding Strategy”. I flew into a semi-panic. Did I have a feeding strategy?  I had a collection of household food policies and a whole bunch of opinions. But a feeding strategy sounded …

Why I Hate Those Body After Baby Celebrity Stories

Why I Hate Those “Body After Baby!” Celebrity Stories (And You Should Too)

January 20, 2010 by Sally

The cover of last week’s OK! magazine brings back so many memories—of me, after my son Sam was born 20 months ago, making soy protein and flaxseed smoothies in full makeup and a fashionable yet supportive tank top. Alright, alright. For the first four (read: eight) weeks, I ate cereal out of the box, wore …
