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. If you’re like most people, Super Bowl Sunday isn’t the most balanced day of eating, nor is it very heart-healthy. But this year you can make it different by cooking up some heart-healthy recipes that are as delicious as…
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. A few weeks ago, Martha Rose Shulman, the author of Recipes for Health shared some recipes…

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…
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…
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. My original plan was to make my version of my mother’s noodle kugel, but as I was making dinner the other night I happened…
I’ve never been really into eggs, but ever since I had the girls I’ve been making them a lot more often. They are super easy to make, a great source of protein, and an excellent way to add in other nutritious and delicious foods like vegetables and cheese. Although eggs are typically thought of as a breakfast food, when I…
Disclosure: By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by The Soyfoods Council and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. Tofu is one of those foods that people tend to be skeptical about. I don’t make tofu that often, but when I do and my husband asks what’s…
Iced Orange-Cranberry Biscotti are a delicious dairy-free dessert that’s easy to make and elegant to serve. A great homemade gift to bring to a friend’s house for brunch or to wrap as a holiday gift. Biscotti, or as I grew up calling it and it’s known in the Jewish tradition, mandel bread, looks so fancy, but is shockingly easy to make….
It’s a scorcher out there! On days like this, who wants to be in her kitchen cooking a hot meal?! There’s a saying “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen!” It’s no fun standing over hot flames when it’s hot outside, but dinner still needs to be put on the table. A few weeks ago I…
