The best brownie I’ve had in years is made without gluten, flour, dairy or refined sugar. Believe it. It is truly amazing how delicious, moist and fudgy these turned out. I had a client over the day and he mentioned that he was a “brownie guy”- he had been raised on his mother’s famously indulgent […]
Never doubt Gwyneth Paltrow. I made the mistake of questioning her choice to put two very similar beet soups just pages apart in her It’s All Good cookbook. The recipes each had only one item different between the two of them, yet they were being pitched as very different soups. It is said that insanity is trying the same […]
Which came first: the egg or the stigma? I love when I ask a new client what they normally eat for breakfast and they say “eggs” and wince as if they need to apologize for that. Or when I send my clients a recipe with eggs and they call me and ask “so what do […]
So what does a perfectionist nutritionist serve for dinner? 😉 I sat and pondered my perfect dinner for awhile and then I realized that I had just served it the other night. This arugula and asparagus salad from The Longevity Kitchen is a very simple, yet delicious side dish & salad all in one. I […]
Enjoy this paté in wraps with shredded vegetables, put a scoop on salads, or serve as a dip with your favorite crudités. I recommend it because it is rich with anti-oxidants that will brighten your skin, contribute to your over-all well being, encourage a quick metabolism, and aid weight loss. It’s also super tasty! How […]
I recently came upon this recipe and wow, is it a taste explosion! Even better, it’s vegan, gluten free, and totally worthy of a the stamp of nutritional excellence! When I made it, I served it to my family and even they loved it (and sometimes my kids are like anyone else’s: stubborn)! I suggest […]
There’s a bit of pressure on me when I host any sort of lunch meeting. The other day I had my new branding coaches over for lunch and I wanted to make them something really tasty, healthy and impressive. The guys mentioned that they were trying to eat mostly raw during the day, and I […]
You know that wierd, irrational fear we all get if we eat too much of a good thing we might hate it one day? Sometimes I discover an amazing juice or a raw bar I love and then the instinct hits me, if I eat it too much I’ll get sick of it. Why do […]
Why don’t I eat fennel more often? This thought popped into my head one morning and within a few hours I came across this delicious-looking fennel salad recipe from Foodie Crush. Isn’t it funny how that happens sometimes? I was so excited, I made it for lunch that day. I cut the mayo from the […]
My fiance loves chicken. LOVES chicken. I think he could eat an entire one. Me? I’d probably be content never eating chicken again. He’s also very health-conscious and took my advice to exchange one of his meals each day with a salad and to add in a green juice. So every morning he drinks his […]
