Natural Foods Expo East 2011 – Trends

by Jennifer Fugo September 27, 2011

Food — it makes our world go round. At least here in the States, that is. Though I’m the biggest fan for whole, unprocessed foods, there certainly is a place for certain food products in a busy life. I wanted to see for myself the wide array of new products that were coming out in [...]

Review: Vega’s Shake & Go Smoothies

by Jennifer Fugo September 22, 2011

I’ve been a huge fan of Vega’s vegan protein powders for quite some time.

Many of you were really excited by my last post when I spoke about what type of Fats I eat and getting a sneak peak at what the more scientific result of that looks like – namely my bloodwork. As a result, I received a lot of emails about explaining fats even further. You know, [...]

by Jennifer Fugo July 26, 2011

“Open Sesame” is a phrase which conjures up almost magical connotations from our childhood, but for adults, sesame seeds still offer this ‘magical’ smathering of nutritional goodness. The oil of toasted sesame seeds has been known for centuries for it’s incredible anti-inflammatory properties especially when it comes to wrangling pro-inflammatory proteins.

Blueberry Tomato Salad

by Jennifer Fugo July 19, 2011

One of my favorite summer staples is a Tomato Salad loaded with sweet tomatoes, cooling cucumbers and fresh basil. When I was a kid, my mom made this every night with dinner as I’d consider it a staple part of any Italian meal in the summer. Fresh, light, sooo delicious! As an adult, I’ve enthusiastically [...]
