Spring Produce: In Season and So Good For You
After months of butternut squash and other seasonal Winter produce, I was happy to see many of my Spring favorites appearing at the grocery store and farmers markets. Eating seasonally is not only cheaper, but the produce is tastier, fresher, and more nutritious when in season. Be on the lookout for these fruits and veggies on the shelves of your market.
Learn to Love: Peas
I am a person who firmly believes that fresh green peas got a bad rap. Often over cooked, their texture can be a serious turn off. I am here to say though there are so many reasons to learn to love peas.
Garden Peas, Please
Peas...you either love 'em or hate 'em. But have you ever had FRESH peas? As in not frozen and not canned?
Kashi Entrées: Pesto Pasta Primavera
I've just recently tried a new product from Kashi (the company who makes those chewy granola bars I love). They are broadening their scope and have just introduced some frozen entrées to their Kashi brand, look for them in the freezer at your local health food or grocery store.
I was very excited to try one because I already have the utmost respect for anything with the Kashi name.

Healthy Recipe: Sugar Snap Peas With Wasabi Dressing
I have a newfound love of sugar snap peas, especially since I have a local source for the stringless version (read: serious time-saver).
Great for snacking when raw, these peas taste even sweeter when they've been blanched, and once cooked they work well with all sorts of dressings. Tossing sugar snap peas in a wasabi dressing is my new replacement for an old favorite snack of mine: dried wasabi peas.
Ring in the New Year With Black Eyed Peas and Cabbage
So many holidays have special foods associated with them and now that it is the new year, it is time to say "goodbye" to those sugary candy canes and the chocolate log of goodness Bûche de Noël, and a big "hello" to black eyed peas and cabbage. These two super foods are here to help you usher in a healthy and prosperous 2008.
Black eyed peas are considered good luck in many cultures and are traditionally eaten on New Year's Day in the south.
Food Review: Amy's Brown Rice, Black-Eyed Peas & Veggies Bowl
In a pinch, I'm a big fan of frozen meals from Amy's Kitchen, and I particularly like the "bowls." I always keep a few in my freezer just in case I don't have time to make lunch. While the Country Cheddar Bowl is my favorite, I also like the Stuffed Pasta Shells.
Healthy Dinner Idea: Chicken With Snap Peas and Spring Herbs
I am always looking for new ways to cook chicken because as much as I love chicken, it can get pretty darn boring. I recently tried out this recipe for Chicken With Snap Peas and Spring Herbs and it was a tasty change to my boring chicken meals. I added a small side of brown rice and it was the perfect amount of food.

Get the Most Nutrition For Your Dollar
It can be hard to find healthy foods that don't break the bank — as I've mentioned before, nutrition often comes with a high price tag. A new tool may be what consumers need to find the biggest health bang for their buck.
The Affordable Nutrition Index (ANI) is a rating system that evaluates food based on its health and price value, and over 300 foods were evaluated and given a nutrition-value-per-dollar score.
