What an Honor- Featured PSSM member during Mother’s Day Week

Posted on May 13, 2012 by Diva Dietitian

Mother’s Day week was a bit of a whirl wind with my kids’ school concert, 1st grade trip to the zoo, soccer and baseball.  But in the midst of all the “kid” activities, how exciting to get a great e-mail from Jo-Lynne Shane, head of Philly Social Media Moms group, telling me I was chosen to be the featured Member of the week.  It felt extra special to receive this honor on Mother’s Day week from a group of Moms/dynamic women I feel blessed to know.

Gardening with your kids is an amazing way to get them involved with their food- it teaches them where food comes from and gets them excited to taste new veggies.  Not to mention, how fun it is wearing the cute hats!

Happiest Mother’s Day

Posted on May 13, 2012 by Diva Dietitian

happyday Happiest Mothers DayHappiest Mothers’s Day to all mommies everywhere.  I’ve happily been spending my morning in bed catching up on some writing and e-mails while watching cooking shows.

Here is the card my 5 year old son made for me in Kindergarten.  We’ve been laughing about this all morning.

Highlights:

“When my Mom has free time, she likes to lay on the couch.”

“I love my Mom because she’s not nuts like my Dad!”

“My Mom shows me that she love me when she Hugs me.”Diva Dietitian (Registered and Licensed Dietitian) blogs in Full Disclosure. Please see: http://divadietitian.com/about/disclosure. All Opinions are my own. I will ONLY write about things I love, believe in or that truly inspire me.

My Little Seedlings

Posted on May 12, 2012 by Kristie Finnan

 

Here is a peak at my little seedlings. I can’t wait to get these cuties nestled in their new home, my backyard garden.

I picked up some tomatoes, cucumbers, rainbow chard, parsley, basil, peppers and lettuce at the Doylestown Farmers Market this morning.

If you haven’t been to the Doylestown Farmer’s market, I highly recommend adding this experience to your Saturday morning routine.  They sell everything from fruits and vegetables to eggs and pickles!

National Herb Week

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Jennifer

This week is National Herb Week.  Early this spring I was delighted to find the chives I planted last spring survived throughout the winter and began to bloom.  Chives are the smallest species of edible onion, belonging to the Allium family.  This perennial plant is native to Europe, Asia, and North America.  The flowers of chive plants bloom from April to May and are light purple in color.

The leaves of chives are used in cooking and as a garnish.  The flowers are also edible.  Chives have a very mild onion flavor.  Their usage dates back 5000 years in Europe.  Chives are used widely in French cuisine.  I use chives as a garnish and to provide a subtle onion flavor in soups, potatoes, and egg dishes.  I added chives to my low fat cheese omelet yesterday.

Summer Garden

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Jennifer

My herbs

Summer is approaching and it is time to plant our garden.  Over the last week my husband and I have prepared our vegetable garden for planting.  Today my 4 year old and I planted 8 tomato plants, 3 zucchini plants, 3 yellow squash plants, 3 cucumber plants, 3 varieties of lettuce seeds, and green bean seeds.  These plants join the already blossoming strawberry plants I placed in the garden last spring.  All that is left to plant are our herbs.

Home garden’s are a great way to teach children about how our food grows.  By including children in gardening they often are more excited about trying new foods especially the vegetables they helped grow.  I am hoping my daughter will try vegetables finally since she helped plant today.  She is my fruit lover though, so we do have blueberries and raspberries plus two apple trees in our yard as well.

I plan to share with you pictures of our harvest this growing season.  I will post the recipes I use for each of our vegetables.  Stay Tuned!

The Garden is Tilled

And we are off… on our way to a beautiful Vegeatable Garden. What a great surprise when my Dad showed up, helped me fix the tiller and turnover the dirt for some 2012 crops!
