There has been many different “ice breaker” sessions I’ve been in where they question to answer is: what’s your favorite food? I have a really hard time answering that question, for some reason. But recently, I’ve realized it must be pizza. And that would make sense because at least once a week it’s on myContinue reading “Preferred Pizzas”

We are living in an unprecedented time; a time of uncertainty. worry. overwhelm. stress. confusion. You name it. During the next few challenging weeks (or months?) ahead I just want to reassure and provide validation that you can: take time to focus on your nutrition OR NOT. eating food that keeps you satisfied and contentContinue reading “food for thought: covid-19-related tasks”

I find myself often saying that – you do not need to eat foods that you don’t enjoy! Forcing yourself to eating something you do not like, is not worth the effort. Eat what you love, remember! It is important, of course though, to consider and to try to new foods, especially if you didn’tContinue reading “how to: build an oatmeal bowl”

With all the busy-ness in our lives, I can’t help but feel the need to focus & share some basic recipes that are truly simple & easy, while also being nutritious and also delicious!

I not only make these almost nightly with my family meals, but I often bring themContinue reading “basic roasted brussels sprouts”

As we finish this last week of January I wanted to send a friendly reminder that – it’s ok if you aren’t into setting New Year’s resolutions but you may still feel the pressure to make dramatic goals and drastic changes this year It’s ok, too, if these past few weeks of 2020 haven’t startedContinue reading “set your nutrition free”

I’m so ready for Thanksgiving. Anyone else? On the one hand I’m excited to have some cherished and quality time with my family, but on the other, I’m saddened and always amazed at how quickly time flies each year. Thanksgiving is an opportunity, I feel, to blend the old with the new. I strongly believeContinue reading “roasted cauliflower composed grain salad”

Since I’ve gone back to work (just since late July), I have lost track of the number of times my family has gotten sick. My girls have both had fevers, ear infections, colds, more fevers with then vomiting and many trips to the doctor along the way. My husband got sick for a full weekContinue reading “Nutrition Prevention for Colds + Flu”
