The Chef Sleeve is a plastic wrapping originally designed to help cooks prevent their iPads from getting hit by a splash of this and a dash of that. The plastic is compatible with the touch screen, provides basic protection, and won’t require you to sterilize it before bringing it home from the hospital. At $20 for 25 sleeves, your new baby can get the basic protection it deserves.

Which I guess is what I am. So, today, I present to you the long-awaited part two. Here are five more folks (some Hollywood celebs, some not) with super-soothing voices that will hopefully help you relax and generally improve your harried mental state as much as they do for me and my colleagues I polled.

From nutrition to culinary uses, I’m exploring what top fitness, nutrition, and culinary experts have to say about this “bumpy” nut. Up next is my interview with Chef Greg Higgins. If you’re into “green eating”, this is your guy. 1) As a restaurant chef, what is essential for creating healthier menu options?  Whether it is swapping out butter for a healthier oil, or lower fat dairy, etc., how do you keep high-taste in tact while still offering healthful options? G.H.: We use olive oil as our primary cooking & flavoring oil. That in conjunction with a steady supply of local, seasonal & sustainable fruits, vegetables and whole grains. 2) In regards to restaurant health, taking healthy foods into the ...

As a restaurant chef, what is essential for creating healthier menu options?  Whether it is swapping out butter for a healthier oil, or lower fat dairy, etc., how do you keep high-taste in tact while still offering healthful options? C.A: It is important to give your guests compelling flavor profiles, so that they are satisfied and not missing the added fats that are normally associated with restaurant foods.  We tend to use a lot of ingredients that are versatile and can be either applied to Latin American or Asian cuisines.   We make all of our own dressings, our ketchup is made in house with no high fructose corn syrup, and instead use an organic brow...

I am off to a great start with all of the wonderful friends I have already made and all the new ones I am looking forward to meeting. Many of you already know me as the chef who posts delicious diabetic recipes on the forum just about every day. I thought I would take a little of your time and tell you more about myself for my first blog entry. I was diagnosed a type 2 diabetic about 10 years ago. I fit all the criteria; over weight, eating all the wrong foods and had a sedentary lifestyle. I was even lucky enough to hit the trifecta, as my doctor had referred to it; type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Lucky me. Well, it really was lucky for me. It saved my life and started me o...

The contenders were Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse against Bobby Flay and the White House Executive Chef, Cristeta Comerford. Usually we record anything Iron Chef to our DVR to watch when we're ready, but this event we watched live. We started out at the White House with Alton Brown introducing First Lady Michelle Obama in a very special guest appearance, inviting the chefs to take anything from the garden..with care, of course. It was the first time I'd seen the garden in full bloom, and it was beautiful! I guess the show must have been recorded some time ago, as ...

For those new to these pages, we take one post each month to check-in, check-up and try to avoid checking-out!  Many find this a chance to take stock and look back, from one month to the next, to see how their MS has progressed, remitted or held steady. We also use the comment section of each month’s post as open forum for general questions, comments and conversation.  Please feel free to do so here and have a look at our other posts in the Life with MS blog archive. There really is good information in there, most of...

I know that in the months prior to my MS diagnosis I would fade each and every day around 2:00-2:30pm.  My 3 o’clock mocha was as much a part of my business daily routine as were at least one plane flight and an uncomfortable hotel bed.  If I didn’t get my mid-afternoon jolt of caffeine and sugar, I was a dead man walking. I never bought into that whole Prokarin thing, the patch of histamine and caffeine touting itself as new multiple sclerosis therapy.  I prefer my buzz to come in a flavorful cup rather than a dermal plaster. I’m wondering, as I seem to recall more than a few comments about the topic of how much coffee/t...

Over nearly three years (our blog’s anniversary is next month) we have, together, covered much about multiple sclerosis; and some having very little to do with our disease at all.  Today is another one of those… I wept on Saturday. I will admit that my MS has brought me to tears from time to time over the past eight plus years I’ve lived with it.  These tears, however, were something different and were not at all unwelcome.  They do, as I think about it, have some ref...

For them, Halloween season can be a dangerous time. The hard, chewy, sticky or crunchy candy usually handed out can easily result in damaged or broken braces, a painful and costly experience. So what’s a brace wearing trick or treater to do? Well, according to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), people with braces should steer clear of these traditional halloween treats…   * All hard candies   * All chewy candies   * Caramel   * Nuts   * Licorice   * Taffy   * Jelly beans   * Hard pretzels   * Bubblegum   * Popcorn (including unpopped kernels)   * Taco chips   * Ice Instead they should aim for braces-friendly Halloween treats such as soft chocolate candy, peanut ...

Have you bought a mortar and pestle for the sole purpose of grinding up medicine and trying to mix it into peanut butter or applesauce? Have you taken advantage of the fact that chocolate is brown and therefore a potentially useful way to dress up mashed carrots or a bit (a bit) of pulverized broccoli?

Two cars stop to help you. One driver is a heart specialist and the other is a top-notch mechanic. Who is smarter? For the intelligence you need at the moment – you’d likely pick the mechanic. On the other hand, who would choose a mechanic if you stopped with severe chest pains - and you could choose a doctor's intelligence?Ok,  now imagine that a broker guzzled your life savings outright - and refused to budge on any compromise.  Two people heard your pleas for help and offered to step in.
