Yogurt & Berries

This snack can give you the illusion that you are having dessert (especially if you are adding the honey or maple syrup!) Unfortunately, most flavored yogurts have enough sugar in them that they should actually be considered a dessert but are often marketed as health foods. The best thing to do is always buy plain yogurt and add your own…

Dinner

Slow Cooker Roast Chicken with Green Beans

Roast chicken. My comfort food staple. My go-to when I’m having a dinner party. My “I can make three meals from one meal” favorite. Combine this with a slow cooker and it’s the absolute easiest thing I can do to give me an instant leg up on meal prepping for the week. Of course, you don’t have to use a…

Glass of a Raspberry Smoothie

Raspberry Energy Smoothie

I often think of only making smoothies for the morning but forget that they are also a fantastic snack option, especially during the second part of the day, when my eyelids tend to get a little heavy and I start craving something sweet or salty, or both. I also love making smoothies with my kids as it’s a great way…

Power Green Smoothie

I’m a huge breakfast person. I always wake up starving and usually try to eat something within 30 minutes of rising to get my metabolism going early. But I’ve never been one to have a “go to” breakfast. Somedays I feel like eggs and toast or a big bowl of oatmeal and other days, I’m hungry, but I don’t necessary…

Plate of Pork Chops with Mixed Greens
Dinner

Pan Fried Pork Chops with Applesauce & Simple Salad

When I’m planning for the week, I often try for one or two “staples” or meals that stay on permanent rotation in the menu because I know my family loves them and everyone will eat them. Kids seem to like predictability and mine are more likely to be adventurous and try new foods some days if they know that on…

Hummus & Veggies

One of the biggest things that I hear from people is that they have issues with snacking. If they start out wanting a couple chips, that can often lead to half the bag. One cookie can lead to 10, etc. I love snacking and am a huge proponent of it—and most often, I find that people are snacking so much,…

Beautifully Plated Steak & Veggies
Dinner

Grilled Steak & Veggies

Dinners are pretty basic in our house, especially during the week. By the time we get home from school/work, we have an hour to get food on the table, homework done, kids bathed (occasionally) and off to bed. So we try to keep things simple and this meal is a big go to for us, especially in the warmer months.…

Creamy Rainbow Chickpea Salad

I’m not a huge traditional salad person. Lettuce is OK, but I could take it or leave it and while I like other vegetables and leafy greens, I sometimes just feel like I’m crunching on nothing. I do love a salad though, if it’s a big bowl of stuff, with lots of colors and textures and flavors and this one…

Cold Soba Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce

With summer coming up and all the BBQs, parties, and celebrations that go with it, I am always looking for dishes to bring that are healthy and delicious. This is a great one (provided that they are no peanut allergies—and if so, I replace peanut butter with almond or Sun butter) and super easy to make. And because the effort…

Bone Broth

When I was doing my dietetic internship in a hospital, I was in the elevator and a woman stepped inside. She asked me what department I worked in and I said “nutrition” to which she said, “I wish you guys would tell patients to eat homemade chicken broth and oranges instead of hospital food. Then they would get better.” And…
