It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small. - Neil Armstrong

Eating healthy is easy when we have access to farmers' markets but during the winter months, for a large percentage of the country, this not an option. I have the answer. The healthiest, and least expensive way to shop in the supermarkets is called perimeter shopping. The floor plan of every grocery store that I have ever shopped in is generally the same. As you walk around the store do your best to stay clear of the aisles and stay only to the outside perimeter of the store as you shop. It is there, in the perimeter, where you will find fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs and dairy products, fish and meats, and usually whole grains and breads too! In the middle of the store you will find mostly processed foods, which are higher in price and lower in nutritional value. One loop around and you're done.

I grew up in Arlington, Virginia where I first learned about seasonal produce in my grandparents' garden located only four houses down the street. Driving to my great-grandmother's farm in the Shenandoah Valley helped me appreciate where my food comes from, and exactly how much effort it takes to produce healthy seasonal food. I love sharing the knowledge that I have gained over the years to help others make healthy choices, then ultimately how to best coax out the full flavor that fresh foods have to offer. I enjoy the outdoors - anywhere, love my family, and look forward to spending time with good friends over a nice glass of wine.
Hi Nathan, One more time, I love watching you on TV, your show is great, you are so cute. :) I was wondering if you have a good healthy way of making a salad with lot of veggies, black beans, herbs, pass me over some secrets. :) Have a happy day!
I'm sure you already know about it.. but just in case you don't and to let any one else reading your page know.. check out the slow food movement! www.slowfood.com
Thanks for being my friend, I just wanted to say I cooked the chops /w the cider brandy glaze for friends and I. Amazing! Anyways, I love your show, keep up the good work.
I made your chocolate avocado shake the other day after seeing the recipe on your show. I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive (I love chocolate and avocados separately, but together...I wasn't so sure). Anywho, it was fabulous, instantly a new favorite! I've turned my big sis on to them as well.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion for fresh cooking,I look forward to learning more from you!
Thanks 4 the add!!! your show is amazing I always watch it like every monday!! keep doing what your doing cuz your so good at it!!! I ♥ how the food is so fresh and taste so awesome!! later nathan!! your awesome!!!!
Hello Nathan, I love your show. Great recipes and helpful instruction.I have one favor to ask you. Please speak with your director about photographing the show differently. There is too much unnecessary camera movement, pans,and zooms along quick edits. You can't help but notice this unfortunate trend in many cooking shows today. It really distracts from the love of cooking and beautiful presentation of the food. I thank you for your time and hope that I have not offended you, I am just trying to remain a faithful viewer. Thank you agin.
nathan! your show is AMAZING! my boyfriend and i will be home in l.a. for the holidays. any chance we'll see you at the santa monica farmer's market...? ;-)
Thank you for taking the time to answer my onion question. I have tried swim goggles in the past. I will have to check out Bed Bath & Beyond's version. I love that place!
