Quick tip for looking in the mirror 2/13/13

Aileen Birkitt, RD: Posted on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 11:57 PM

Hi everyone! I just have a quick tip for today-

Do you ever find yourself being very critical of yourself when you look in the mirror? Pay attention to your thoughts. If you find that you are thinking negative things stick some post it notes on your mirror with some positive messages about yourself.

For instance, "You are beautiful"

"You are wonderful just the way you are", etc.

Just remember: you deserve to be positive to yourself! Start the day off (and end the day) with these messages!

No Post-Holiday Guilt!

Aileen Birkitt, RD: Posted on Wednesday, December 26, 2012 7:29 PM

Don't feel guilty after your holiday indulgences! Think about the time enjoyed with others, pick up and move on! Everyone tends to eat a bit more during the holidays and it is ok! Each day is a new day and each moment is a new moment to forgive yourself and move on.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays and have a Happy New Year, and many Happy New Days to you!!!

Power Outage and Food: Tips

Aileen Birkitt, RD: Posted on Wednesday, November 07, 2012 11:35 AM

Hi everyone. As a NJ resident, I am all too well aware of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. If you lost power, as I did and are unsure about what is safe/unsafe to eat follow these tips:

Many salty condiments like soy sauce, mustard, and ketchup will be ok for several days without power. Also many sugary things like jelly will be ok.

Don't forget the rule"when in doubt, throw it out". All meats, even those in the freezer should be tossed. Even though things may still be partially frozen, you do not know for sure at what temperature they have been kept at.
