Veggie Flapjacks

I’m always looking for ways to get kids to like vegetables.  Does it always work?  Absolutely not.  Is it important to keep trying? Certainly! Many times, parents give up after one or two tries with a new vegetable.  Don’t throw in the towel so soon!  Kids should be offered a new food 7-14 times before… Continue reading Veggie Flapjacks

How To Ramen

Want Chinese takeout without consuming an entire day’s worth of calories? Here’s your answer!

Think Outside the Pizza Box

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

A Family Favorite

I love soup because you throw it all into one pot and serve up a complete meal that everyone loves.

It’s All About the Bowl

Breakfast bowls, Greek bowls, burrito bowls, Buddha bowls…a side dish, a main dish, a great packed lunch!  I like this new fad!  Here are a few things you can put in your quinoa bowl

W.W.I.D

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.

When you have seemingly numberless kids under foot, threatening your sanity, you burn things…

Barefoot Contessa

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

Soup for the Soul…

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?!

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!
