Noodles, Noodles and More Delicious Noodles
August 17, 2010 by Jenn
Back in graduate school, I stumbled across a small yet growing franchise called Noodles & Company. At the time, it was a pretty refreshing and cool concept—lots and lots of noodles from a variety of different cultures all on one menu. I happily... Continue reading...
Eating Good in the Neighborhood
February 23, 2010 by Erin
At some restaurants, it can be nearly impossible to find a healthy item. Sure, you can customize many entrees using phrases like “on the side” and “light on the…” and “substitute veggies for (insert less-healthy item... Continue reading...
Eating Across America
October 21, 2009 by Erin
My hubby and I (and pug!) recently moved cross-country. While we could have flown and been done in just a few hours, circumstances, family visits and the amount of stuff (and pug!) we had required us to do the distance driving. Even though we were able... Continue reading...
Dos and Don’ts of Dining Out
May 13, 2009 by Erin
It’s so easy to overeat when you’re out to eat. Not only is everything super delicious, but there is also just so much of it. And if you’re like me, if it’s there, you’ll eat it. Plus, sometimes it’s hard to tell what exactly you’re getting... Continue reading...

April 1, 2009 by Erin
We make it no secret here at FBG headquarters that we’re all about everything in moderation. We splurge at times just like anyone else. But don’t you hate it when you think you’re being healthy at a restaurant, and you find out that you’re sabotaging... Continue reading...

Nosh: Rockin’ Chipotle
February 18, 2009 by Erin
Disclaimer: No, this isn’t a paid advertisement by Chipotle. (But if they want to pay me to promote them or write the stories on their cups, I’m all ears.) I really do just love Chipotle so very much. When I first tried Chipotle in college, I didn’t... Continue reading...
The Curse of Fast-Food Karma
October 13, 2008 by Jenn
Is there such a thing as fast-food karma? ‘Cause if so, I’m screwed. On a recent road trip, I did something that I hadn’t done in years: I went in to a McDonald’s to eat dinner. While I do frequent McD’s drive-thrus for... Continue reading...
Sushi: The Raw Deal
September 24, 2008 by Jenn
When I first tried sushi in college, I wasn’t a fan. The rolls were filled with gummy, tasteless rice, and the sashimi was, well, fishy. As someone who was pretty adventurous in the food department at a young age, I felt like I was a loser. Even... Continue reading...
Fast Food Salads
September 3, 2008 by Erin
When you’re on a road trip it can be tough to stick to a healthy diet. Fast food calls your name at every highway exit, and it can be difficult to turn down that oh-so-tempting burger combo. However, it is possible to have a decent meal at a fast food... Continue reading...
