Healthy Lunch Options you can Make for your Kindergartner

September 21, 2018 By WELLJOURN Leave a Comment

Lunch is an important meal for kindergartners. Research has shown that eating a nutritious lunch gives kids the energy and stamina to get through the rest of the day. This means being better able to focus on classwork and less likely to have emotional issues, along with other positive benefits. For parents, the need for a […]

Fooducate – Nutrition Education While You Shop

Fooducate - Nutrition Education While You Shop

I think…err believe that I eat healthy, as do most of us.  And as do most, there is the occasion to underestimate just how much we eat. So, it stands to reason that there is a vast underestimation of how healthy we eat as well. Until… FOODUCATE!   Fooducate is an application designed to ease […]

Vitamins – To Supplement or Not To Supplement?

March 22, 2012 By Tabitha Paculba 9 Comments

Should you take a vitamin supplement and if so, do you take a multi-vitamin or perhaps just a little extra vitamin C? Is any one vitamin more important than another? And aren’t vitamins for the elderly anyway? Arguments for and against supplements are many; and the decision to take supplements is personal and self-prescribed.  How […]

Healthy Recipe – Tomato, Basil & Mint Vinaigrette

March 15, 2012 By Tabitha Paculba 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, I met up with former co-workers for a life catch-up session. It was great! I really miss working with those ladies and it was wonderful to hear about the changes that had transpired over the last year. We met over brunch (my favorite meal) and I ordered a black walnut kale salad. I liked it except for the vinaigrette. For me, the vinaigrette did not complement the kale.

Recipe – Kale, Black Bean, and Corn Moons with Lime Cream Dip

March 1, 2012 By Tabitha Paculba 6 Comments

These moons are based on the edamame quesadilla recipe, except I substituted fresh chopped kale for the edamame. Kale boosts the fiber content and makes it possible to enjoy two as a light lunch.

Although I normally save pancake breakfasts for the weekend, I can’t help but make these during the week on occasion. They require no eggs and provide whole grains.

Jacked Tuna Asparagus Bake

Ahhh comfort food. We all have our favorites. For me, it is more than just mac and cheese. Feed me enchiladas or a casserole! Of all the casseroles my mother baked, I distinctly remembered one that had asparagus and was delicious!

Recipe – Purple & Red Bell Pepper Ranch Salad

August 21, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 1 Comment

Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes I love discovering different variations of vegetables and fruit at my local Farmer’s market.  Better than the food samples at your local supermarket, vendors are proud to let you sample a slice of their juicy ripe nectarines, peaches, apples and other fruit.  Although you may not be […]

Red, White and…where’s the Green?

July 7, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 2 Comments

This past weekend, I celebrated Independence Day with my Fiance’s family in Minnesota. It was my first time visiting and the weather, location and company was absolutely perfect!  We explored back country woods on ATVs, shot sporting clay, whipped around the lake on a jet ski and checked each other for ticks.  Did I mention […]

Mediterranean Diet – is it the way to go?

May 24, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 4 Comments

To me the continental breakfast has always been a joke.  It never seems to be enough. A few croissants, jam, fruit, milk and coffee?  Where’s the protein?  It turns out everyone has a different idea of what constitutes a continental breakfast. Some places offer a “light” version while others offer a “full”.  A light is […]

  Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Serves 4 – 3/4 cup servings I first discovered my love for this German turnip in, where else but Germany!  I grew up a military brat and remember being handed a fresh slice of Kholrabi right in our garden plot. It was sweet, crisp and I […]
