My job definitely keeps life interesting! On Saturday I shared libido boosting tips with Chris Wragge on the CBS Early Show. And if you're trying for a baby, please note that many of these foods are key for healthy sperm!

I try to make Willa's baby food as often as I can, but when time is tight, it's nice to know there are plenty of good organic baby foods on the market. Willa and I did a round up of 10 brands for Health.com and rated them on taste and convenience. It's a tough job for an almost 10-month-old, but she's a trooper.

I'm ringing in my 36th birthday this Wednesday by getting up super early for a superfoods segment on the CBS Early Show. It's not just any list of Superfoods mind you--it's America's Healthiest list of the 10 best superfoods--and yes, they do amazing things like make you smarter, sexier, and slimmer. Check out Health's Jan/Feb issue for the list, along with the totally rocking recipes I developed to go with it, like Chocolate Chunk-Walnut Cookies. How's that for super?

For all you expectant moms out there, here's a delicious, refreshing, booze-free cocktail you can whip up tomorrow night (or any night). It's very similar to my favorite drink, the Kir Royale.

LE ROYALE

Makes 1 serving

1 teaspoon black cherry juice concentrate (or pomegranate juice)

3 ounces white grape juice, chilled

3 ounces sparkling water, chilled

Pour the black cherry juice concentrate into the bottom of a champagne flute. Add the grape juice and then the sparkling water. Grab someone special and plant a big kiss on them!

Only 48 calories--enjoy!

Happy New Year!
