As a dietitian I like to know how many calories food has. I forget the number 15 minutes later, but still, I like to know. However sometimes I wonder what’s the point? Wouldn’t blissful ignorance be better? 🙂 Oh.. I am not making big deal out of it. It is just a […]
What can I say about this smoothie? It is delicious and not so sweet (although you can make it as sweet as you like). I love to have it on a hot day or after a nice run – cold, slightly acidic taste, flavor of bananas, quenching my thirst. Ahh… And all […]
Hello All! It’s Wednesday, but I am already ready for the weekend. Do you know that feeling? Hopefully the next few days will pass quickly and I will be able to enjoy some quality time with my husband. Recently we’re both so busy that I feel it is difficult to sit and […]

Another asparagus recipe! My resolution for this spring is to eat more fruits and vegetables. We all know this is healthy and wise thing to do; nevertheless it is often difficult to execute. I think I will choose baby steps approach – one recipe at a time. I like this one very […]
