What is gluten?? Gluten is the protein portion of wheat, rye, and barley grains. People with celiac disease or a gluten allergy cannot digest gluten. When ingested, gluten damages the lining of the small intestines, causing symptoms such as weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, gas, abdominal cramps, and/or vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Eliminating gluten from the [...]
For me, Summer = Tomatoes. I am sure you are figuring this out by now. My garden is full of roma, beefsteak, big boy, and grape tomatoes. Some are ripe and ready to pick while others are just beginning to ripen and a couple plants are just beginning to produce. I prefer to space out [...]
Have you ever bought beets with their beautiful greens still intact? And then thought…great, that’s a lot of waste. Ahhhh ha! They are not a waste! First, they keep your beets tasting fresher and keep in some nutrients by stopping oxidation. Second, they are really tasty in their own right! Don’t toss out the greens! [...]
I am going to step away from originality for this post, and instead toot the horn of some fellow blogging RD’s (registered dietitians). I follow these three blogs on my NetNewsWire account (where I pull in RSS feed and read as I please). I hope you enjoy these posts, as well! Meal Makeover Moms: They [...]

Now, for the results… For this giveaway participants needed to do the following… I would love to hear which tip is your favorite “Denise Tip” and why. Is it new or something you [...]

First off, if you know me well you know that I am not a fan of going to a gym. I struggle with getting into a car and driving to a gym. And, you may or may not know this, but I don’t watch television, so the idea of doing a video workout doesn’t seem [...]
We all know that exercise is not easy for everyone. And for some, it almost seems like a dirty word. I often find clients get overwhelmed with the thought of exercising. Instead, find something you love that is active! Ditch the term “exercise” and insert the term “activity” instead. How does that feel? Better, huh? [...]
Walking out to the garden to see spots of red makes me smile! Ahhh, it’s harvest time. My Beefsteak tomatoes are almost ready–2 are pink, and my Romas are exploding: One lone green tomato dropped when I tugged…fried green tomatoes are tasty, too! Not a bad harvest for June in San Diego! So, now to [...]
Why is it we call them “black” berries when they stain everything purple? I am guessing it has something to do with PurpleBerry not sounding as sweet?!? Thoughts?
