What To Do When Your Child Feels Deprived Of Junk Food

June 19, 2015 by Sally

I try to have snacks only when needed, foods like nuts, popcorn, cheese, whole grain crackers, yogurt, fruits, veggies, and hummus. I let my kids eat junk food at parties and events where …

Why I Don’t Stress Out About Salt

July 21, 2014 by Sally

I love salt. I lick it from my fingers after eating popcorn and regularly make a second pass around an ear of corn with the shaker. Apparently this penchant runs in the family, since my dad salts both watermelon and pizza. (Thankfully, we both have stellar blood pressure.) In my profession as a dietitian, my love affair with salt …
