Happy First Birthday, EBM!
Wow! So this is very exciting for me...the first birthday of Eat and Be Mary has arrived!
I can't tell you all how much this means to me-and I am so thankful to have so many loyal readers. You all truly make it worthwhile. I know that I may not be as big as some of the other blogs out there right now, but the sky's the limit and I plan to make this blog bigger and better in its next year of cyber-life.
I want to say a special thank you to my aunt and uncle for letting me discover the possibilities that lie within the healthy cooking world, in their completely new (all white) kitchen! Without that time to experiment and play, I don't think I could have learned to cook as much as I did last summer!
To commemorate this momentous occasion, my sister got her nice camera out and we decided to have a little happy birthday photo shoot!
Here are some snapshots for your viewing pleasure:

Also, some other news...I GOT A JOB.
So, in just two weeks I'll be shipping it out to Bemidji, Minnesota to start my professional broadcasting career as an anchor/reporter for the Lakeland News team under Lakeland Public Television (PBS affiliate)! I look forward to continuing this blog there and finding out what healthy trends are going on in the Midwest!
Of course, it'll be easy to follow my adventures...so don't worry I'll be keeping you posted as much as I can!
Thank you again, from the bottom of my healthy heart. Happy Birthday to my little blog baby!
XOXO

Attention, Foodies!
Goooood Sunday morning, everyone.
Hopefully, all you beautiful people are enjoying all that a lazy Sunday like this one has to offer.
As you know, I don't add a new front page post very often--only on very momentous and special occasions. This is one of those days...and I am so excited!
My dear friend, Torri Singer and her father have done something pretty remarkable...they've created an app with Apple (yes, the Silicon Valley giant) ! It's called "Snapetite," and it's basically a foodie's dream.
We all know someone (I'm that someone, definitely guilty of this) that's constantly clogging up our Instagram feed with pics of their meals. Whether it's a gourmet homemade creation, or a classy night on the town at a swanky restaurant...this person pretty much needs to document every last bit of their culinary adventures.
Snapetite is literally the answer to your prayers. Finally, there's an app dedicated solely to posting what you eat, drink, and snack on throughout the course of your days/nights.
It plays on the similar format that Instagram introduced, with the ability to filter, geotag and all that. Instead of "likes" you can give a post "noms," how clever is that?
I am so very proud of Torri's ambition and growing success with this app!

Congrats, Torr!

HELLO, 2015!
Well, I know it's been a few days and we're already rolling forward with a new year.
But I've been enjoying lots of time with my family and close friends--during what I know will be my last month-long break during the holidays.
I rang in the new year with my amazing parents and my sister, as well as my two best friends. Although it was a bit too real when the ball finally dropped (because graduation is now months away) it honestly was a relief that 2014 is over.
Yes, this past year was filled with some of the most incredible experiences. But, there were also plenty of things that I hope I never have to experience again. Through it all though, I am eternally grateful that I found another passion, which is writing this blog.
To all of you who have been loyal readers-thank you, from the bottom of my heart. It is my sincere hope that you have been able to better yourself or try something new that you've learned.
I know that I am so proud to be healthy and live well. It's allowed me to blend two passions: broadcasting and healthy living. Thanks to all those who have given me the encouragement and opportunity to share both of these things with the world.
If you have goals for yourself, try to stick with them. One of the greatest feelings in the world is knowing that you've succeeded at something you wanted to do.
Stay with me--I'm going to be with you for every step of the way.
As my mimosa suggests--cheers! This is your year.
XOXO

Exciting News...
Hello, all!
I figured I should give you a bit of an update on a crazy amazing opportunity that I've been given.
My school has a completely student-run television station, and I'm currently an anchor on our news program, Newswatch 16! I can't tell you how amazing it's been to be back in the halls of the Park School of Communications and to be able to do what I love every week.
Now onto my big news...
This journey with Eat and Be Mary so far has been so wonderful. To all of my loyal readers, thank you for taking a chance of me and reading my pages full of ways to eat healthily and live happily.
My Newswatch superiors have decided to take a chance on me too-and now Eat and Be Mary will be a SEGMENT on the Sunday broadcast each week! I couldn't be more thrilled.
I've added a new tab called "As Seen On TV" so that you won't miss any of my on-camera action as I bring my blog to life!
I'm so excited to see where this opportunity takes me, and I hope you'll continue on with me.
Here's to more living, loving, and eating.
XOXO

Welcome!
Hey, people!
My name is Mary and I'm a New Yorker. I wish the description stopped there, but really...I'm a New Yorker that lives just outside Philly during the summer. As if that wasn't enough for you to handle, I'm also coming in hot after a cool four months spent abroad in London. So, to recap...I'm a New Yorker twice-removed, honorary Pennsylvanian, and wannabe ex-Pat. Wheeew! I can't even keep it straight sometimes-so don't feel overwhelmed.
Anyways, welcome to what hopefully will be a helpful and inspiring blog for you to live healthily and happily. My summer internship at news station FOX29 allows a few days off, so I'm taking advantage of the time I have each week to whip up some recipes that are wholesome and filling--but totally guilt-free! I've always been a pretty mindful eater, but after my semester of "no rules eating," I knew it was time to buckle it on down and get to work.
I have to say that my dad Bruce really inspired me to make a change. He took his health into serious consideration after not feeling his best-and has seen amazing results. Special thanks always to my mom Teresa who so diligently makes his meals and taught me how to make the basics like shakes and breakfast cakes to get started. These two are the reason that I knew I could do it!
So, I've always been an active person, working out almost every day of the week. The way it makes me feel is indescribable-but I didn't know how good it would feel when I started really watching what I ate. The feeling is double what it was before, and now I feel unstoppable. I hope that this blog can help you get there too--and if you're already feelin' fantastic, go you! Let's maintain a healthy lifestyle together!
Look here for words of motivation, recipes that are a cinch (usually) to whip up, and ways to pump up your workout! I'll also be sharing some music that gets me inspired from time to time.
Cheers to being healthy and fit...
Let's eat and be Mary.
xoxo
