Asparagus, fava beans, and mint are tossed together in a light, lemony ricotta sauce for a spring pasta dish that’s worth working for! Fava beans are a great spring vegetable that you’ll see on restaurant menus this time of year, but many people don’t even consider making them at home and until now I was one of them. But then I…
Celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or just the love that you share with someone special? You don’t have to spend money going out to a fancy dinner for every occasion. Sometimes it’s nice to make a romantic dinner for two in your own home. Set the mood with dim lighting, candles, some romantic music, and a Nutritioulicious meal that will knock…
March (usually) means all things green: sprouts of green popping up from the ground, window boxes of beautiful and fragrant herbs, and the beginnings of fresh green grass filling lawns. Unfortunately, it’s still quite cold in New York – snow is even in the forecast for this weekend – so we haven’t seen the signs of spring just yet. But…
This post was written by Tiana Yom In addition to it being American Heart month, this Sunday is the Super Bowl.

We’re only barely into the new year and the 2013 food trends are already hot! Last week I shared my Recipe ReDux for Coconut-Curry Beef with Bok Choy and Farro, which incorporated two of the trends, ancient grains and using more vegetables in meals.

Probiotics are live bacteria that help protect against disease and digestive issues in the intestines. You may think that bacteria is a bad thing, but there are actually helpful and…
The following guest post was written by Meredith Kimelblatt. When it’s cold outside, there’s absolutely nothing better than coming inside to a hot, comforting meal. Hearty soups and casseroles seem to fit in perfectly with all the cozy parts of wintertime, like warm blankets, hot cocoa and soft sweaters. Comfort foods are one of the best parts of winter, except…
In honor of the new year, this month’s Recipe ReDux theme is based on food trends for 2013 – “A Trend in Every Pot.” Recipe ReDuxers across the globe were given the following challenge: Pick your favorite ‘new’ food trend and add it to a pot. Take a trend and use it in a soup, stew, one-pot meal or Crock…
When you make butternut squash, what do you do with the stringy seeds on the inside? Please don’t tell me you throw them away! They may look inedible, but these large, flat, elliptical-shaped white seeds are actually full of nutrients. They contain fiber, mono-unsaturated fatty acids (like those found in olive oil), protein, and a handful of minerals. Like…
A few weeks ago, I was looking at the recipe archive on my blog and came across my Cilantro-Lime Steak recipe. I immediately had a craving for this, but I decided I needed to change the recipe for the fall. I use cilantro and lime juice all year round, but it definitely has more of a summery flavor to it….
I’m interrupting the scheduled programming of Thanksgiving Day preparations to bring you this month’s Recipe ReDux. This month we were challenged to ReDux an old cookbook or recipe card recipe and make a Vintage Side Dish.
