Chicken & Spring Vegetables and Potato Gnocchi & Cheese Last month we reviewed two varieties, Chicken Sausage & Spinach and Beef & Vegetable Gnocchi, from Michael Angelo’s new product line: Italian-Style Pies. Despite their disappointingly small size compared to the packaging, both were good and we [...] Dr. Tim Says…. Last week I responded to a question about what to eat to help lower cholesterol.One reader had commented that she didn’t want to consume only oatmeal and my column was about all the fabulous foods that can help lower cholesterol as well or better [...] This week we take on the All American Hot Dog (and a few that we aren’t sure America would want to claim). Mind you, I don’t eat hot dogs very often because of the amount of fat and saturated fat in them, but if [...] Just when you think you’ve heard it all. Taco Bell is touting that you can lose weight eating their food. True, of course, but at what cost? Look, we know that if you eat fewer calories, you’ll lose weight. Anyone can do that and it doesn’t matter what type of calories you eat. Calories are calories [...] OK, sarcasm aside, there’s a great report by the Yale University Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity that shows how marketing has an profound effect on our children’s nutrition.

The staff that supports the doctor’s office and hospital eats pretty poorly. While the drug company lunch is almost history in the U.S. other businesses bring lunch regularly including nur sing homes, home health companies and the like. This is a sampling of the sort of [...] It’s not all bad. One of my colleagues who is a neurologist does have a good lunch when he’s in clinic. His nurse (who used to be a chef) puts this together for him. He is from Iran and there’s always a bit of a Middle Eastern twist with olives, fruit, nuts, ahmok wafers, avocados [...] So this is where my new project began. About a week ago I was finishing my morning clinic and in the office where I keep my jacket I found this Mcdonalds bag. It had been brought in by one of the doctors and contained a Quarter Pounder and french fries. Look at the size of [...] In an effort to continue providing information for those on a gluten free diet we’ve been sampling some of what is available. Doing so has proven… interesting… with many products being both more expensive than the regular version and also not measuring up in terms of taste.
