I love using Naan bread to make homemade pizza.  If you have a picky crowd, you can personalize each round.

When I began studying to become a dietitian, I knew I needed to discover a way to shift the savorless plants into something I could really enjoy eating.

A Pizza My Mind

Pizza can become your artist’s palette with an endless world of topping options. There’s no reason to eat a plain old cheese and pepperoni pizza!

this is a low-calorie, low-fat meal.  I even think we will have room to add a reasonably-portioned dessert!

I guess I should be glad he didn’t ask for a Giada De Laurentils cookbook.  My cleavage wouldn’t measure up.

Ooooooo, this soup smells so good while it’s cooking! I wish you could smell it!  Why can’t they make an app for that?!

How To Make a Healthy Salad Taste Good

Posted in cooking, Eating out, healthy cooking, healthy meals, nutrition advice, registered dietitian, weight loss2 Comments

I have a pretty long list of dishes to take to social events.  I can pretty much pull a recipe from my butt (as my Mom might say growing up, but more eloquently written, repertoire) according to request.  We have a friend in town on a vacation from the Airforce.  She and her fiancé won a… Continue reading How To Make a Healthy Salad Taste Good

I admit, there have been times I have offered fruit and yogurt to replace the neglected meal provided.

Pasta Disasta!

My spa blue KitchenAid mixer is my best friend in the kitchen.  I use to have a red one to go with my red kitchen accessories.  When I got married, I decided my new favorite color was spa blue, or light turquoise, if you will.  I decorated my new beach home almost exclusively in this… Continue reading Pasta Disasta!

So, is it “mih-nuh-STRO-nee”or “mini-strohn”?

Posted in cooking, dietitian, healthy cooking, healthy meals, nutrition, nutrition advice, registered dietitian, weight lossLeave a comment

Debatable.  That’s what I’m making for dinner.  Another one-pot-wonder.  I’m aaaaall about a complete meal in one dish when I’m making dinner for the little monsters. I want protein, which means meat or meat substitute, such as tofu, eggs, or legumes, at least 2 carbs per serving and preferably one to two vegetable servings.  Usually… Continue reading So, is it “mih-nuh-STRO-nee”or “mini-strohn”?

Pick Your Battles…

One of the nicest things anyone did for me after I had Andrew was make my family a meal.  It is so overwhelming to bring a tiny, helpless baby home from the hospital.  I felt like I couldn’t get anything done!  It’s especially difficult when you have other little mouths to feed!! My friend, Heather,… Continue reading Pick Your Battles…

I feel like Green Chef meals are gourmet.  If I were to make this on my own, not only would I have to search all over town to find all of these ingredients

Whats for Dinner

Mike seasoned the Snapper with a little salt, and pepper and gave the fillets a light dusting of flour, then pan-seared them to perfection. The meat was tender and sweet!

World Famous!

Posted in calorie needs, cooking, dietitian, healthy cooking, healthy meals, nutrition advice, protein, protein needs, registered dietitian2 Comments

My Mom often makes fun of me when she asks what I’m making for dinner and I reply, “My world famous (fill in run-of-the-mill recipe here)”.  I make fun of restaurants which list “World Famous” as a part of their menu items.  Preeeety sure, this Panama City Beach cheeseburger is NOT world famous.  Despite the contrary, if… Continue reading World Famous!

What’s for Dinner

I modified this recipe from a blog I like to follow kalynskitchen.com  I add sautéed garlic or garlic powder and instead of Spike seasoning, I use a variety of different seasonings, usually some blend that I have in my spice cabinet. I usually use two sliced avocados instead of one and mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.… Continue reading What’s for Dinner

We will have all four kids beginning Wednesday and I have already initiated the meal planning process.  My goals are simply to provide meals that are nutritious, easy, and edible (or that which will generate the least complaining).  I use a free app on my phone called “Any List” which I am able to share… Continue reading Another Green Chef Meal

I’m going to try to post my dinner meals daily so, here’s what’s cooking tonight: Crockpot Lemon Garlic Chicken (I’m using boneless thighs but, chicken breasts are a lighter option and will be… Continue reading What’s for Dinner

GARLIC!

Posted in cooking, dietitian, healthy cooking, healthy meals, nutrition, nutrition advice, registered dietitian, Uncategorized, weight lossLeave a comment

I have a bit of an obsession when it comes to cooking for family and friends.. Garlic!! There are very few recipes I make that don’t include a clove or two…or five! If I follow a recipe that calls for two cloves, I don’t hesitate to use four. These delightful little bulbs have insignificant calories,… Continue reading GARLIC!
