Chatting With Bethenny Frankel

Bethenny's Take on Food, Diet, Happiness, and Indulging!

On a typical day, I'll tell you that I really love my job.  The day I got to interview Bethenny Frankel, I'd tell you I really really really LOVE my job!  As a huge Bethenny fan, I couldn't wait to meet her!

Growing Your Food

Celebrate National Garden Month

Fruits and vegetables not only contain an abundance of natural vitamins and minerals, but the variety of flavors and colors make them a great compliment to any meal, and a tasty snack even on their own.

With April being National Garden Month, this is a great time to start growing your own fruits and vegetables, and starting an edible garden! Homegrown fruits and vegetables are usually much tastier than store-bought fruits and vegetables, due in part to them being fresher. Homegrown fruits and vegetables are more cost-effective than buying them ...

Expecting More With Sara Haley

Great advice for Moms to be. Great advice period!

I recently had the opportunity to tune into Sara Haley’s livestream and learned a ton!  Sara Haley, founder of the “Expecting More” exercise program, is your go-to expert for fitness and pregnancy tips!  She has a collection of exercise DVD’s, is a Global Master Trainer for Reebok, and has dedicated her career to sharing her knowledge with women, especially moms!

Sara worked out throughout her entire pregnancy, which she highly attributes to a speedy ‘post-baby bounce back,’ after gaining a very healthy 35lbs during her pregnancy.  Sara utilized ...

Motivation from Maya, Macaroni Mama!

Before I gave birth to my daughter in October 2010, I was on the fitness kick of my life, preparing for the Los Angeles marathon.  It had been a goal of mine to run a marathon before I turned 30, but nearly three-quarters of the way through training, I got amazing news...I was pregnant!  Always the cautious girl, I stopped running long distances and after my daughter was born, I just couldn't get back in to it...into any exercise at all.

When my daughter was born, I ...

The Snacker

Sometimes Snacking Trumps Cooking

Sometimes, it seems easier to throw an assortment of “snacks” in our bags than to make our own.  Let’s face it. You're busy and don’t always have time to cook or bake.

These Snacker boxes are one of my most popular after-school and post- workout snacks.  Think of this as your convenient healthy snack bento.  The only thing you have to actually assemble is the crackers; but believe me when I tell you that the 60 seconds you are going to spend doing this is well worth ...

Terri, Macaroni Mama, Shares Her Story!

As a first time mom of a toddler, I was beginning to see that I had no energy at the end of the day.  I would be up at 5am to get ready for work and after working an eight-hour day, taking care of my daughter, cooking, and keeping the house clean, I was drained.  I made a decision to start working out because I knew it would be the best way to help me feel better and keep up with my everyday challenges.  I started going to the gym ...
