Have you ever had a dish out at a restaurant that immediately makes you want to try to recreate it at home? Maybe that’s just how my foodie brain works, but it’s where some of our home-run dishes get their inspiration from! When Danny and I were dating, some of the experiences that helped to […]

Don’t get me wrong- I am a big fan of some convenience protein bars, but I’m also a big fan of making snacks from scratch when able to. The closest I get to making granola or protein bars is these poppable little energy bites! I love how easy they come together, how the ingredients can […]

One of our New Year’s goals was to eat seafood at least once per week. Usually Danny and I do a fairly good job at this, but when we do dive into the ocean we tend to come up with the same things- smoked salmon, shrimp, or canned tuna or spicy tuna sushi. To be […]

Have you ever met a dietitian that would tell you it’s okay to eat chips for breakfast? Well, this dietitian is telling you just that and I’m going to share with you why I believe all foods fit, including chips, to start the day. Photo credit: Pinterest I work with a lot of patients whose […]

It’s officially freezing here in NYC and that means all the chili recipes! I love a good silky soup, but much prefer something with more chunks going on, so I tend to cook up a chili once or twice a month. This week I’m sharing a chili concoction with an ingredient that may be new […]

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you had a wonderfully fun and delicious holiday season and are already off to a great start for 2019! It’s been a while since I’ve shared any recipes on here, and I thought I’d start the first Monday of the new year off on the right (productive) foot. My […]

Who else has skin that hates the dry winter weather? For the past two years I have developed painfully dry hands, but the funny thing is, it only affects two of my fingertips. I’m not kidding! My left hand stays hydrated after numerous hand-washes at work and at home, but my right hand has two […]

Post-Thanksgiving, I wanted to nothing more than bursts of exotic flavors coming out of my kitchen. I craved spice, umami, and lots of fresh herbs and spices! So, the first dish to satisfy that hankering was an Asian-inspired buddah bowl. I incorporated one of my favorite vegetables- broccoli- because Danny was traveling for work and […]

We’ve all heard how sugary granola can be- some varities containing upwards of 15 grams per 1/2 cup (and let’s be real, no one is eating just a half cup), which is three-quarters of the way to the level recommended Americans consume in added sugars. So, when a friend of mine told me she had […]
