Health Blog Helper is Born Happy Monday! I'm super excited to announce the launch of my new blog, one that went from conception to execution in a single weekend! The blog is called Health Blog Helper, and it's all about stuff that we as health bloggers can do to make our blogs better. In studying…

Tempted by the Hemp of Another I was recently introduced to hemp products, since they're so prominently featured in Thrive. Perhaps the best thing about hemp (well, the second best thing about hemp, I'm told ) is that it is nutrient-rich as a whole food, so little or no processing is needed to make healthy…

Hello my healthy Sweet-Toothers! Friday has finally arrived, so it's Christine here with another STF! This week I've got a great recipe for you that I wasn't quite sure what to call. I was leaning towards Everything-But-the-Kitchen-Sink bars, or Anything-Goes bars, but I think my boyfriend Greg summed it up nicely by calling them (with…

Warning: Just below the fold, I have placed a giant photo of the disgusting blister on my foot! (As I write this, I wonder how many subscribers this stunt will cost me.) If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, don't scroll down, immediately close your browser, and come back tomorrow for Sweet Tooth…

Well, not much new in the food department this week. Erin's cousins are visiting, so we haven't had the time to try out new recipes. We've basically been sticking to the easy standards, like orzo with citrus-cooked vegetables and Giada's baked penne with roasted vegetables. Last night we made pasta with roasted tomatoes, chickpeas, and…
"Excuses are like booties. Everybody's got one, and they all stink." This is what the teacher of a songwriting course I took in college used to tell us. If the phrase is trite, then I need to get out more, because it was new to me then and I've never heard it since. It struck…

Whoa, way late on the post today! For that I apologize; I had to pick up some shirts from the printer and get them shipped off. (And that means more women's mediums and smalls are available now!) But Erin and I also did something far more exciting, which I'll save for last today. This (food)…
A lot of you are getting closer to running your first marathon or half marathon this Fall, and taper time is near. Congratulations on making it this far! My first marathon was nothing short of a disaster. When two college buddies and I lined up in the first corral of the Rock 'n' Roll San…

Hey NMA-ers! It's Christine here with your weekly healthy dessert recipe! For this Sweet-Tooth Friday, I went international and made Thai Steamed Peaches with Custard. You're not going to believe how delicious and elegant a dessert can be with just FOUR ingredients! Now for most of my Sweet-Tooth Friday posts, I've been sneaking nutritious elements…

Almost Friday, veg-heads! I have to tell you, your comments on yesterday's post absolutely made my day. Thanks for all the encouragement. Just over six weeks left until the big day! In case yesterday was running-overload for some of you, today's all about food! Erin and I started the day with mango-jalapeno smoothies, hands down…
