Crunchy Broccoli Protein Salad

I know I've said it before, but I'm not a huge traditional salad person.  I love vegetables and I love dressing but would much rather eat them together in a big bowl rather than deal with lettuce mussy-ing up the situation. This "salad" is a great plant-based option that really fills you up.  The protein from the edamame, almond butter,…

Electrolyte Drink

I sometimes get asked by clients about my thoughts on electrolyte drinks (and tablets, powders etc.)  And until a few months ago I always had the same answer, "unless you are exercising intensively, there's no need."  And while I'm still singing that general tune, there have definitely been times that folks (including myself) could benefit from an electrolyte solution. But…

Want To Live Longer? Make Sure You Are Doing These 5 Things

Nutrition counseling isn’t just about healthy eating.  Of course, that is a part of it (the biggest part), but if you are going to see a dietitian, it’s usually because you are looking to live an overall healthier lifestyle. Let’s say, for example, you want to lower your cholesterol.  There are definitely foods that will help do that, but other…

Crispy Baked Pork Chops

I'm the first to admit that I should be better at following my own meal planning advice.  There are some weeks where I have the whole week shopped for and planned out by Sunday night and there are others (a lot of others) where I can only think two or three days in advance. The only constant is that I…

What Does Halloween Look Like In Our House?

We are fast approaching my kids’ absolute favorite holiday.  It may be the fact that they get to wear costumes and make up and stay out way past their bedtime, but I’m sure it has a lot more to do with the candy. And with each passing year, our kids get older and can carry bigger bags, and stay out later…

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie

My favorite chocolate chip cookies are the ones that have a slight crisp on the outside and are super chewy on the inside.  If that resonates with you, too, then look no further.  There's nothing new or exotic about this recipe, it's just good.  The only difference here is that you melt the butter--who knew I was doing it wrong…

Chicken Noodle Soup with Bone Broth

Sundays are a little funky in our house because they are our weekend day that we play sports in some form from 9am-8pm.  And because we are in and out of the house so quickly, it's challenging to prepare any sort of real meals.  Enter this soup, which I love for two reasons: 1) I love bone broth (as you…

Striped Bass with Leeks and Balsamic Vinaigrette

There's something pretty special about being able to catch your own dinner.  Fish is something that I didn't love as a kid but forced myself to like as I got older, not only for the health benefits, but also because my husband catches a lot of fish in the summer, so we have the freezer stocked!  Today, we took the…

Green Juice…Served with a Healthy Dose of Reality

Let me paint you a picture. I was scrolling through my Instagram feed and I see picture after picture of gorgeously captured food items. Inspired by these beautifully crafted images, I decided to stage my own photoshoot. I had just gotten a delicious green juice, the sun was shining, and the flowers in the backyard were perfectly in bloom. Glass…
