New summer fave: grilled pizza
Pizza parties are a tradition in my circle of friends. It’s really a perfect party—we provide the dough (and whatever toppings we can’t live without), then have our friends bring their favorite toppings. I roll out the dough and call people in to top the pizzas. It’s amazing some of the combinations that become favorites. While grilling pizza might sound weird (won’t the dough fall through the grates? No…), it’s surprisingly simple. In just 6 easy steps, you too can have grilled pizza in no time! Read More »

Lose 10 pounds in 10 days?
By EatingWell Magazine, on Mon Jul 7, 2008 11:04am PDT“Lose 10 pounds in 10 days!” As a nutrition professor, I know better than to believe the ultra-fast weight-loss claims that proliferate as bathing-suit season peaks. I admit, some of the ads sure sound compelling. EatingWell has written extensively on healthy weight-loss strategies, but I’ve long wondered if any of the products that promise to “zap fat like magic” might have a kernel of truth. My friend Jane nips weight gain in the bud with a once-a-year three-day juice fast; it seems to work for her—but what does the science say? Full of hopeful skepticism, I recently sorted through the more enticing claims. Read More »

Buy local - eat sweet corn
By EatingWell Magazine, on Thu Jul 3, 2008 10:34am PDTDon’t let all the talk about how corn has ruined our food supply deter you from getting your fill of sweet corn this summer.
Macque Choux
It’s easy to find a farmer in your area, since sweet corn is grown in all 50 states (yes, you can even grow corn in Alaska) and it’s plentiful at farmstands on dusty dirt roads in the heat of summer.
While nothing quite beats eating quickly boiled or grilled corn on the cob with butter dribbling down your chin, taking a slightly exotic approach can be nice too.
So get shucking—while corn is available year-round (thank you, globalization), your local farmstand’s got it fresh from the field right now.

Taste test winners revealed: The best BBQ sauce in a bottle
By EatingWell Magazine, on Thu Jun 26, 2008 7:06am PDTEver hung out in a crowded supermarket aisle scanning the shelves for a delicious-sounding barbecue sauce? We’ve been there too.
Actually, it’s probably a safe bet to say that most homes have a bottle or three of barbecue sauce in the refrigerator. What easier dish is there in the summer than barbecued chicken?
But if you’ve ever looked at a barbecue-sauce label, you may be shocked. Most brands list high-fructose corn syrup as the first ingredient and contain tons of sodium. We decided to search for healthier options.

Sweet, sweet raspberries…
By EatingWell Magazine, on Wed Jun 25, 2008 7:36am PDTThis summer, find a farm to pick your own and spend a day in the sun picking (and eating) fresh, juicy raspberries off the bush. Just don’t forget to save some to make your favorite sweet and savory raspberry recipes.
Besides being sweet and delicious, raspberries are a great source of fiber—some of it soluble in the form of pectin, which helps lower cholesterol—and an excellent source of vitamin C. The gorgeous red color is from anthocyanins, an antioxidant. And did you know that raspberry-seed oil has a natural SPF of 25 to 50?
Here are four recipes soon to be cooked in my kitchen…
