Please join me in welcoming Lisa Lightner, who is guest posting today at Looking Good (for a mom). If you watch TV or spend any amount of time online, you’ve no doubt heard the words “Extreme Couponing.” It’s a newer cable TV program and it shows shoppers getting huge amounts of product, all for free using coupons. As a self-professed supercouponer, you might think that naturally, I’d enjoy the show. I don’t. In fact, I’ve grown to actually loathe the show and the term ‘extreme couponer’ over the past few months. I won’t even use it to describe myself... Read More

Try a New Food Tuesday: Pea Tendrils

Liz — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 13:00:17 +0000

It’s pea season! The peas are ready to be picked, which means our C.S.A. sent us home with snap peas, snow peas, and even something called pea tendrils!.. Read More

Eat Local – Join a C.S.A.

Liz — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 13:00:00 +0000

In researching eating healthier, there’s lots of advice to consider: eat organic, eat whole foods, eat low-carb. It can certainly get confusing! With all of that conflicting information out there, it can be hard to know what to do. But the best advice I’ve heard is to eat local. Food is most nutritious when it’s just picked, and getting it local assures you of getting the freshest possible food. While farmer’s markets provide good access to local farm produce, an even better way to get fresh local food each week is to join a C.S.A... Read More

Weekend Roundup: What’s eating you?

Liz — Sat, 22 May 2010 13:00:49 +0000

As I flit around the internet, I often find myself moved or inspired by posts or articles I find. Most of the time, I tweet about them on my twitter feed, and there it ends. But for you, my blog readers, you may not always see those tweets or have a chance to read those articles. And every now and then (like now), I get my act together enough to actually put together a “round-up” post to share some of those amazing and inspiring articles I’ve found. This week, I found one post that moved me so much that I just HAD to share it with you... Read More

Try a New Food Tuesday: Mango

Liz — Tue, 04 May 2010 13:00:26 +0000

If you’ve been following me for a while, you might call foul on this post. See, for Try a New Food Tuesday, we’re supposed to try a new whole food. And if you know me, then you know I eat Mango every single day. My favorite breakfast is half a chopped mango, blueberries or blackberries, no salt added cottage cheese, cinnamon, and walnuts. It tastes amazing and is a very filling way to start the day. I love it!.. Read More

Try a New Food Tuesday: Uniq Fruit

Liz — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 13:00:16 +0000

As long as you’re eating lots of processed foods, you’ll be used to unnatural flavors, high sodium and overwhelming sweetness and fatty flavors they contain. If you want to develop a taste for fresh whole foods, you have to eat them... Read More

Don’t Judge Me

There’s something that’s been bothering me. While obesity is getting a much more significant focus – by the First Lady, by the media, and by congress, the way the topic is handled puts so much focus and blame on the obese people. And people who appear to be obese deal with a great deal of discrimination – on the street, in the workplace, and at the doctor’s office. While I don’t abdicate people of their personal responsibility, it’s simply not as simple as it seems... Read More

Set a good example

Liz — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:00:00 +0000

So clearly, I’m a mom. And as a parent, I want my kids to grow up enjoying exercise and having a healthy relationship with food. It’s a constant struggle to find the balance and decide how I should react when the kids want to binge on snacks instead of eating healthy food. What I’ve learned is that the best way to help your kids adopt healthy behaviors is by setting a good example... Read More

Why I’m Brand Choosy

Liz — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 02:00:00 +0000

You may have been wondering where I’ve been, given the lack of posts lately. Well, like many other people, I recently took a vacation. We went back to the lake, and I learned from my experience traveling there in July that I needed to bring a cooler of my usual foods with me, as the Oakland (Maryland) SuperWalmart doesn’t have the best selection of whole and organic foods...

How much meat is too much?

Liz — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:00:00 +0000

Years ago, when I was a teenager, I stopped eating meat. I didn’t become a vegetarian, per se, but I stopped eating red meat and pork, continuing to eat poultry and fish. I actually ate this way for many years, but partway through college I added red meat back to my diet. During the time red meat was off the menu, I focused my diet primarily on starchy carbs – pasta, potatoes, etc., and very few green vegetables, however, so I wasn’t eating very healthy!.. Read More
