I work in an office of about 1200 people, and sit immediately near about 50 of them. All I hear all day from those around me and those I pass in the halls? COMPLAINTS! ”I’m tired!” “I’m so crabby!” “I’m bloated” “I’m hungry!” and let’s not forget the millions of blowing noses, sneezes, and “I’m siiiiiiick” groans. Ew. …

MeanGreen Spinach & Artichoke Dip
Around Christmas I posted a recipe I’ve used for years for my favorite spinach dip. Well I just came up with this recipe tonight and it is fantastic and better than the one I’ve been using, if I do say so myself! Satisfying, rich, and ridiculously low in calories and fat. Make it for your next party! …

I am back from vacation! I promise I will do better about sticking to the “weekly” portion of Weekly Green, and try to post at least once a week. Now that my life has somewhat calmed down, I should be able to do just that. Thanks to Kelly from Buffalo who sent in the question …

Detoxing without Re-toxing
“Should I detox?” It’s a popular question in the past few years, mostly from women that I see at my in-home nutrition events. I blame the fixation we have on celebrity culture. The latest diet trends, the “quick fix,” and the desire to be “well within” by living a clean lifestyle, especially when so highly touted by Gwenyth Paltrow …

Ouch!
I’m sore. Gold’s Gym has this class called Body Attack, and I swear it was invented by the devil. NOTHING gets your ”burn” on better, but you are sore for DAYS after! Combine that with all the after work/weekend exercise I’ve been doing at Snap Fitness and in my league sports, I’m super sore. As part of my …

Quick Dinner All Week Long: It’s A Wrap!
Are you as busy as I am? If you have kids, probably. I don’t, but I might as well with how much running around I do! Fast food isn’t very healthy or green, and I find when I cook at home myself I’m much more satisfied with the calorie count, as well as the taste. …

“Night Out” Lightened Up Chicken Marsala & Lightly Loaded Mashed Potatoes
If you caught the earlier post of this recipe, I’ve since edited it with what I feel are better (bigger!) portion sizes, and updated the nutrition information appropriately. This whole post is a great “special occassion” meal for guests, and for less calories than what you usually find in only the main dish at a restaurant, you can have …
