The past week has been a whirlwind as I attended the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (aka FNCE) in Atlanta and came home just in time to get cooking with moms from my girls’ nursery school for our annual parents’ cocktail party. While I’m still trying to catch up on what I missed while…
Every week I post my Menu Plan Monday with the hope that I’m inspiring your cooking and taking out some of the work of your meal planning. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, personal chef, student, man, or woman, getting dinner on the table is no easy feat and everyone can use a hand or two to get it done. So when this weekend’s…
We’ve been experiencing a heat wave here in NY! Saturday and Sunday were beautiful days in the 80s, which is lovely and unexpected for this time of year. But thanks to the change of weather, I have a dang cold 😥 . Don’t you just hate that?! We went out for Greek food last night and I could barely taste my…
Fall is officially here, and that means it’s time for apple picking, tailgating parties (check out some of my tailgating tips on my client’s blog), and pumpkin everything (check out how many pumpkin recipes there are on Healthy Aperture!). In my house, it also means it’s time for the Jewish holidays we celebrate every fall, starting with Rosh Hashana, the Jewish…
This past weekend, I ate a lot of Nutritioulicious food, made some new friends, and was motivated and inspired by some of the most well-known registered dietitian nutritionists and food bloggers in my field. I spent the weekend in Vermont at the first annual Blog Brûlée. I knew going into it that I would have an amazing time, but the weekend…
I don’t know about you, but I feel fall in the air, which is making me want warming food like soups, stews, and roasted vegetables. This week’s menu is inspired by the summer tomatoes left on my kitchen counter and the chilly temps outside. What are you inspired to cook this week? Week of September 8, 2014 Monday: Panko…
Labor Day has come and gone, the summer is unofficially over, and most kids around here are heading back to school this week and next. If you’ve been to the supermarket recently, you may have noticed that despite the humid temps, the produce pickings are changing and your summer favorites are more expensive and less available than just a few…
We still have another couple of weeks before school starts in our neighborhood, but with Labor Day weekend coming up and most children already back to school this week, summer is pretty much at its end. Before you pack the school lunch boxes with the same old sandwich, check out my protein-packed Veggie & Bean Quinoa Bites, this month’s Recipe ReDux….
With just a few more weeks of summer left, I’m hoping the sun will stay shining so I can grill most of my meals this week! Gotta take advantage while I can! This week’s menu has a couple of oldies but goodies from the recipe archives. Check them out and let me know what you think! Week of August 18,…
I’m back and can’t believe August is here. The summer always goes by so fast, don’t you think? With just a few weeks until Labor Day, I will certainly be trying to make the most of the warm temps and summer produce. Some of my favorites are at their peak right now: tomatoes, corn, squash, blueberries, and nectarines. Keep your…
Menu Planning Tip: A good way to design your menu is to base it on perishable ingredients you have on hand that you don’t want to waste. I’m heading out of town next week, so this week’s menu is designed with the above tip in mind – afterall, I can’t let cilantro, tomatoes, corn, and summer squash go to waste! A…
