Our least favorite red-letter day is nearly here: April 15, tax day. For most of us, wrangling with IRS forms amidst the bustle of busy spring schedules – Little League has started already?!? – is enough to send us straight to the kitchen for some comfort food. But stress eating is a trap: Not only can we make poor food choices, but our anxiety can actually increase once we realize we’ve "screwed up" our intentions to eat healthily.

It's easy to eat healthy produce in late spring and summer, when they're more plentiful. Now that Spring has sprung, you're probably just beginning to sow your seeds in hopes of reaping fresh tomatoes and zucchini later in the year -- or if you don't have a green thumb, maybe you're counting the days until your local farmer's market ends its winter hibernation and opens for business again.
