A Day's Food

A Day's Food I am a mom, public school educator and Cornell University certified plant-based nutritionist. Inflation has caused us to rethink our daily food regimen.

Given how busy our lives are, it can be difficult to find the time to shop, cook and eat healthy. The goal here is to offer nutrition coaching and recipes that focus on healthy immune function while adhering to a budget. I want to help you provide meals that will nourish your family and not break the bank! We're in this together!

Happy rainy, spring Sunday! In an attempt to rejuvenate this project and page, I am considering offering meal preparation ideas... and not just ANY meal prep ideas, ideas using ingredients you might have ON HAND. The focus? Budget friendly eating, while keeping things fresh and unprocessed. What does everyone think? Send me YOUR ideas and needs and I'll work my magic.

A couple weeks ago, I was stung, repeatedly, by a wasp as I was walking into school. All I could think of was this beautiful crop of lemon balm in my garden and how I’d love to run home! Not many people are aware of the first-aid properties and benefits of lemon balm. Besides being deeply relaxing, it can soothe the stings and bites of Summertime. It can also be used to fight viral infections. If you’re interested in learning more about lemon balm and other herbal or If you’d like to discuss a nutrition or healing plan, pls reach out. I am looking to do some event tabling, this summer, so keep an eye out for that info.

I rely on almonds to get through my day, especially when I'm teaching. The trouble is- it's difficult to find a crop that has not been sprayed with glyphosate. I recently read that roughly 85% of almonds are sprayed with chemicals. The shocking truth is, even organic almond farmers use glyphosate on newly planted trees for up to three years. Spain is one of the only countries where this does not take place.
Tienda.com is my new go-to.

I pride myself on researching products that are safe, sustainable and TRULY certified organic. The list narrows, seemingly, by the minute. I’ll admit; I was shocked to find out that a few of my “trusted” brands had been purchased by Big Food companies. A reminder that we have to stay focused. The system is in a constant state of flux. Thank you to the tireless work of the research warriors at Cornucopia Institute for making this infographic available to the public. https://www.cornucopia.org/2022/12/who-owns-favorite-organic-brand/

Happy Sunday!
Ghee, (the Hindi word for fat), is synonymous with Ayurveda. It is used as a base for many Indian medicines and herbal remedies. It’s ideal for conditions such as leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. This fatty acid also helps in reducing the risk of colon cancer.

My husband and daughter both struggle with lactose intolerance issues, so we use ghee regularly in my house.

One of the biggest misconceptions floating around is that vegetable production is a more environmentally friendly alternative to meat production. However, studies show that the practices used in conventional vegetable farming may be more destructive than those used to produce meat. Growing corn, spe...
