One of the nutrition myths I hate the most is, “all white foods are bad”. While yes, marshmallow fluff, canned vanilla frosting, and solidified bacon lard are not the most healthy white colored foods to consume on the regular, no one is trying to pretend they are! Yet many people shake their finger at white […]

Would you say that you’re a sweet or savory breakfast person? I used to say I was Team Savory all the way, but lately I’ve been really into my sweeter leaning yogurt bowls in the morning. Now, just because I’ve been having more sweet breakfasts lately does not mean that my attention to nutrition has […]

Who here loves a good soup for a cold fall day? Who here wants to stand over the stove for an hour plus watching it simmer and bubble away? Not me! While for some soups the time spent on the stove is non-negotiable for building the flavor profile, there are plenty other “quick soups” that […]

What’s one food that your significant other just can’t get on board with? For my SO it was beans. If a black bean landed in a salsa at a Mexican restaurant, he would painstakingly pick each one out! It’s not that he’s one of those, “a meal isn’t a meal if it’s missing meat” kind […]

As we speed through September, I wanted to give summer’s bounty one final hurrah, but with using my go-to fall kitchen appliance- my slow cooker. Danny and I are leaving for Italy at […]

Now, when I say “carbo-load” whose mind goes straight to Michael Scott shoving fettucini alfredo into his mouth minutes before the Dunder Mifflin 5k? This is a practice I do not advise, but I’m hoping you already figured that one out […]

When I talk to patients, friends, and family about getting in the kitchen, people often shly admit to me that they don’t know how to cook. […]

One of my all-time favorite summer vegetables is eggplant. I absolutely love how versatile it can be- from eggplant rollatini and parmesan, to babba ghanoush or curried eggplant, this fiber-filled veggie is a staple in my kitchen throughout July and August. Although the temperatures have been brutal in NYC, I dared to turn on my […]
