As we near the end of our second pandemic year, you may have noticed a few extra inches around the waistline. Working from home has had its perks – like cutting commute times – as well as its problems. Temptation, for example, is always a threat with your “office” so close to the pantry. So, […]

The summer heat has been steady over the past several weeks, but I’m not complaining. Ditto for when I was a kid during the “dog days” of summer when the sweltering weather was often at its peak. Back then, helping us through the high temps were a variety of frozen treats, with some squeezed through

When Vince’s first announced Southlake Foundation as the recipient of our Community Product Initiative, we were just taking the first steps on the road to recovery. It was the middle of winter, COVID-19 lockdown measures were strict, and vaccinations had just begun. Six months later, the weather has not only improved, but mass vaccinations have

The recent heat wave has reminded me there are some days you just don’t want to turn on the oven or stovetop, much less fire up the grill. Adding heat to the household (while taxing the A/C), or flipping burgers over a propane-powered ‘blast furnace’ isn’t my idea of fun. Which is why lunches and

To find inspiration for this week’s blog, I looked no further than this week’s flyer. Sure, it may be taking the easy way out, but for those of us trying to reboot our diets – many on a budget – it made sense to begin with a few hand-picked “sale” items. Fresh Produce Let’s start

In the summer months it’s nice to lighten up meals with a salad. I love both leafy green salads as well as hearty grain and vegetable salads. If I’m making a meal of a salad I like to add a grain, nuts and seeds, cheese, or a vegetable such as sweet potato. If it’s a side dish I’ll keep it light with lots of leafy greens, fresh herbs and maybe a fruit such as strawberries. There’s actually quite a bit in season right now which would make for some creative summer salads.

If Nutella gets its own day – as it does on February 5th – why not hummus? Don’t get me wrong, I love that chocolate hazelnut spread, but nutritionally, it doesn’t quite measure up to hummus. So the good news is that on May 13, you can celebrate this delicious blend of chickpeas and tahini
