The Effect of Soup by Elizabeth Brown, MS, RD

Italian Marriage Proposal Soup

After all these years it finally happened. I got my first marriage proposal.

The secret, ladies, is in the soup. I made a soup so good that it caused a man to propose marriage. Who knew it was that easy?

You’ve heard of Italian Wedding Soup, right? Well, I can’t promise a wedding but a proposal of marriage is certainly a possibility.

It Ain't Easy Eating Green by Elizabeth Brown, MS, RD

Eat Green anway or at least drink it

Kermit the frog sang about being green and how it’s not so easy, yet, he pulled it off. He was green, and proud, and in love with a pig? I am not asking YOU to be green or fall in love with a pig. I am simply asking you to try to eat green—more green vegetables that is. I know, I sound like your mother, right? But I am not your mother. I am simply a concerned Dietitian.

I have always felt that leafy green vegetables are the best food on this planet because they have the ability to harness energy from the sun and turn it into energy for the growing plant. Imagine being able to harness the energy of the sun to help your own body grow and repair itself. Well, you can’t, sorry, but you can eat leafy greens and get the next best thing.
