The Art of Simplicity – Life in Venice, Italy
Wouldn’t it be nice to step back in time to when life was simple? Where people would enjoy walking every evening to the main square and chatting with their neighbors and friends? Where moms and dads could relax at a cafe while their kids run and play away from their parents’ gaze? Where teens could meet up all over town without worrying about a car, a bus, or the subway? Where local markets and shops sold freshly grown foods and handmade goods and strip malls didn’t exist? Well, we don’t have to go back in time to find this simple life. If there is one place where time stands still and…

What’s for Dinner :: Italian Chopped Salad
With summer upon us it can be tough finding the time (or energy) to make dinner so I have been on the hunt for really simple yet healthy meals I can make in a moments time. Last week I picked up a premade Italian Chopped Salad at the grocery that included all the makings (Romaine Lettuce, Brocolli, Red Cabbage, Green Onions, and Parsley) for a yummy Italian salad. I wasn’t sure how much salami, etc., was included in the package so I went ahead and bought some nitrate-free salami (two types), mozzarella cheese, nitrate and MSG-free turkey and some grape tomatoes. I already had the dressing and Greek olives on…

Wellness :: The Importance of Probiotics for Your Health
After studying nutrition and health for almost twenty years now and completing my Masters in Nutrition through the University of Bridgeport two main points have stood out to me about one’s health and achieving a healthy life. For me, being healthy means you can do the things you want to do in life at an intensity that you would like to do it at.

Batmanghelidj, M.D. book “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water” in my masters program, it reiterated the importance of water for your overall health. …

Minions :: A Movie Review, Giveaway and Party Ideas
We had a chance to attend a prescreening of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions a few weekends ago and I have to say it is my daughter’s absolute favorite movie she has seen so far this summer. I do think Inside Out is a close second since we’ve seen it five times already but something about these funny little yellow guys had our whole family laughing throughout the movie. At the start of the movie we see that Minions began at the dawn of time where they started as single-celled yellow organisms and evolved through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters—from T.…
