I love fruit. I prefer fresh fruit when it’s in season, but when options are limited (like winter in New York), I count on dried fruit to help me reach my three servings of fruit per day. I love dried cranberries and golden raisins. And now I have a new dried fruit to add to the mix – Plum Amazins!…
Hi Nutritioulicious readers! I know it’s been a while since I have posted, but things have been a little crazy around here. Three and a half weeks ago I delivered my two beautiful baby girls! It’s been a crazy few weeks but I finally had a few moments to let you all know about their arrival and show you a…
A couple of weekends ago my husband and I went on a little pre-baby (or shall I say babies!) trip to Newport, Rhode Island. We were excited for a weekend of relaxation and seeing the beautiful mansions that we had always heard so much about. While we always seek out the best dining options wherever we travel, and we had…
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the kick-off for the Scharffen Berger Elevate a Classic Dessert contest, in which contestants have to take a classic dessert recipe and kick it up a notch to make it even more exciting! At the event there were chocolate-inspired hors d’ouevres (like cocoa dusted lamb kebabs), lots of chocolate, and…

The title of my post may have you thinking that this is a review of a diet book for kids or that I am advocating this genre of books. I assure you that is the opposite of what this is about. I rarely get into controversial topics on my blog, but I couldn’t let this one go by without expressing…
After a long hard week at work the weekend is finally here and you’re wondering what you should do with your two days off. The only place I can think of to spend my Saturday is at Smorgasburg, the food flea market located in Brooklyn. Two Saturdays ago I decided to head down to Williamsburg, Brooklyn to find out what…
As I mentioned yesterday, I am a big believer in children eating real food. In my new kid’s cookbook, We Can Cook, there is a variety of recipes including kid favorites like grilled cheese and fish sticks and more grown-up dishes such as roasted root vegetables and veggie quinoa salad. One of my favorite recipes in the book is caprese…
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that I occasionally write about childhood nutrition issues: childhood obesity, children’s menus, cooking with kids, etc. One thing I am very passionate about is feeding children real food. What I mean by this, is that it is best to introduce children to the same foods you and other adults…
What do you do when you have a handful of uneaten CSA vegetables and another delivery coming the next day? Roast them up and make them into a dip! At least that’s what I did the other night. I had one fennel bulb, a handful of garlic scapes, and three small sweet red onions. I also had half a dozen…
Should chocolate milk be banned from schools? That’s the topic of a heated debate going on in the school system these days. Until now I haven’t opined on this subject, but recently I received some new information based on scientific studies that has made me decide it’s time to share some facts and my opinion. Schools that have banned or…
