For Lent this year, I’ll be giving up meat. It’s day three and I already feel like I’m being majorly challenged. I’m a picky eater as it is, so cutting out all my chicken and beef isn’t giving me as many options for dinner. The first year that I fasted from meat, I was eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches almost every day. Thankfully, over the years, I’ve learned a few tricks to survive the Lenten season without feeling too starved of protein.

Call it a coincidence, call it irony, the month of October is actually National Dental Hygiene Month. Yes, while we’re preparing for Halloween with sweet treats like Halloween Goblin Balls or Butterfinger Eyeballs, we’re really supposed to be watching out for our teeth.

Lately when I go out for brunch, I find myself craving spinach and eggs in the form of Eggs Florentine.

Sometimes it’s served with hash browns, others it’s topped with an indulgent hollandaise. Whatever the case, it’s always pleasing, even if served with neither.

I hate to sound cliche but it’s the beginning of the year and many of us are resolving to get back in shape after a holiday season full of sweets. That means trying out new diets, exercising and trying to eat healthier so we can not only trim our waistlines but feel better too. With cookie recipes galore, we may be to blame for some of that excess body weight we’re experiencing right about now, but allow me to re-dispense some of the healthier advice we have given throughout the year.

First we had healthy food products, now we have healthy ingredients! Serious Eats posted this list of 11 Healthy Foods a few weeks ago and for the sake of eating healthy, we thought we’d pass it along.
