Of course you’ll find the usual suspects in my pantry – foods you’d expect ANY dietitian to keep on hand. Like canned fruits, vegetables, beans, tuna, salmon, whole-wheat pasta and whole-grain cereal. But are you ready for some eye-opening revelations? Because certain foods are a pantry necessity in my balanced book of eating and enjoyment. They must always be on-hand for fast, easy and healthy meals and snacks. Sloppy Joe Sauce. What could be faster than opening a can of sloppy joe ...
31 Reasons I’m Vibrant at Sixty: #5 Three Aging Icons
Frances McDormand won Best Actress last night at the Academy Awards and I am thrilled. She’s my age, sixty. And ever since 1996 when I saw her in “Fargo,” I’ve admired and respected her. She represents everything admirable about aging: strength, power, uniqueness, courage, self-respect, accomplishment, grace and dignity. She embraces getting older rather than dreading it and constantly trying to “look younger.” I’ve read this in numerous online articles about her. Those are all aging ...
31 Reasons I’m Vibrant at Sixty #4: Flour. Sugar. Butter.
Today is National Pound Cake Day. Pound cake is made with three of my all-time favorite food ingredients: Flour. Sugar. Butter. Pound cake is tied with brownies for my #1 favorite dessert. Brownies have flour, sugar and butter, too, plus chocolate. Pound cake is the perfect food for explaining my overriding food philosophy. This philosophy and attitude about food and eating has helped me stay healthy and vibrant. *Nothing is “bad.” As in “Oh, that is so bad for me.” “Sugar is so ...

31 Reasons I’m Vibrant at Sixty #3: Use the Good Towels
Use the good towels. I do. Because I think I’m worth it. And feeling worthy is one of many ways I’ve stayed vibrant. I know too many people from my past who “save the good towels for company.” Or don’t use the better dishes, better coffee cups, better pillow, sheets, you name it….and only use these things for “others.” Well, I happen to think I’m personally just as deserving. No deprivation for me. Life is too short, and you just might not get around to enjoying all those nice things you ...
31 Reasons I’m Vibrant at Sixty #2: Prior Planning Prevents
Prior Planning Prevents... Overeating. Too many calories. Potential weight gain. Unhealthy lifestyle. I think the Army created the original saying “prior planning prevents piss poor performance,” but my version has served me well over the years. My version is to invest minimal time in planning and consciously thinking about food choices and balanced eating. This takes maybe a couple minutes max. But I receive big dividends and gains through better health and well-being by putting ...
31 Reasons I’m Vibrant at Sixty #1: More Activity
More Activity. The number one reason I think I’ve aged vibrantly? Because I move more and make being physically active part of my lifestyle. More physical activity helps me sleep better, have a more positive daily mindset, controls my blood pressure and cholesterol. Allows me to have more stamina and energy daily. Helps prevent injuries and falls – or speeds healing when I do fall or get injured. Activity and movement just keeps me healthier overall. And sure, it contributes to maintaining ...
Celebrate with Chili and Margaritas
National Chili Day happens to be the same day as National Margarita Day. Both of these celebrations fall during Canned Foods Month. So I'm celebrating all of them with a batch of my easy stove-top chili, but not my traditional Big Beef Chili. Today I'd like some warmth and tropical flair, so I'm doing my Caribbean-Spiced Chili with Beef and Pork. Or maybe my Black and White Chicken Chili. Both contain a variety of nutrient-rich canned foods, from canned ...
