Happy World Health Day! Every year on April 7th, the World Health Organization celebrates World Health Day and draws attention to a public health problem of global proportions. This year’s theme is vector-borne diseases, which include malaria, yellow fever, and dengue caused by mosquitoes, bugs, ticks, and flies and affect the poorest people in the world. You can find out…
I am often asked how I come up with my weekly menus. The answer is a variety of sources: Ingredients in my fridge to use before they spoil (e.g. cilantro, leftover coconut milk); what’s in season and is a good price at the supermarket or farmers markets; the theme for the monthly Recipe ReDux or a recipe contest I want…
Happy St. Patty’s Day and a very special happy birthday shout-out to my sister-in-law Caren who is an avid Nutritioulicious follower and supporter! Here’s what’s on tap in the Small Bites kitchen this week. One meal rolled over from last week that I never got to make and another recipe I’m making again in an effort to perfect it to share…
As I mentioned yesterday, Sunday brunch is one of my favorite meals. It’s not so much about what’s served (although who doesn’t like traditional brunch foods?!) as it is about the calm and relaxation of a Sunday morning spent with friends and family without the rush of a weekday meal. Now that we have kids, Sunday brunch isn’t the same…

With Christmas week behind us, it’s amazing that 2014 is only a couple days away. Boy, did this year go by quickly! And right after we toast to the New Year, we’ll be celebrating my twin daughters’ 2nd birthday. I can’t believe they will be TWO!!! Even though you still have New Year’s Eve parties and dinners to get through,…
Brussels sprouts get a bad rap. This cruciferous vegetable is loaded with health benefits (among them fiber, vitamins C and K, and folate), yet it’s often referred to as the dreaded vegetable all kids hate. When I was a kid, I never ate Brussels sprout; I don’t even think they were offered to me. It was probably assumed I wouldn’t…
