A lot of us are spending more time in the kitchen (thanks Coronoa virus) – and some of us, as a result, have put on a few of the old l-b’s, while others have honed in on super foods and foods that make you feel good. (I’ve done both). But I think that we […]
It’s been awhile since I initially shared with all of you that I signed up for Noom and was giving that a whirl. Well, I’ve since finished my three-month sign-up, and it was quite interesting. Though I may not have seen weight loss in terms of lbs, I took away something more important. Noom’s whole […]
The pandemic hasn’t slowed Body Be Well Pilates of Red Hook, NY, down any! Like so many of our local (and national and global) businesses, adapt-adjust-persevere is what we have all had to do. And Body Be Well has done just that. Now, with the help of an Internet connection and a free app, you […]
I realized some years ago that I really enjoy making soup. Sure, I can make chicken noodle soup – which is not my best. I make a pretty great beef and hearty veggie stew, as well as soups that use either one or both cauliflower and broccoli. So on a chilly mid-April day I decided […]
I’ve had a busy couple of weeks in the kitchen … I never thought I’d be saying those words! But it even got to the point that I said to my husband, “Maybe I should write a cookbook called ‘My Quarantine Cookbook’?” Perhaps not a horrible idea, since I think I’ve stumbled upon some great […]

That entails them telling family and friends about your product/service […]
I’ve stopped counting my “health weeks,” whereas life in quarantine has turned into counting quarantine days. But so far life in quarantine has been just fine. I’d say my family and I are one of the lucky ones and so we are just fine. My whole approach to this, as it is with other things […]
Today is my birthday. Yes, yes, it is. The sun is out, it’s a glorious day, and it feels like Sunday. But it’s Monday. But now a days what day of the week it is doesn’t really matter. Instead we now count what quarantine day it is. Well, this quarantine day is also my birth-day […]
My husband ate all of the chocolate chips in the house. Guess that means he won’t be getting any chocolate chip cookies during this quarantine! Maybe that’ll teach him… maybe not. But I was feeling … motivated? Bored? Inspired? Needing to create something? Sure, one of those.
I had all of the ingredients to make cookies […]
I left the house for the second time since we self-quarantined – don’t worry, I didn’t see anyone or touch anything. (And to clarify, when I say that “I left the house,” I mean that I left our property – like went in the car and physically left the property and went out in the […]
