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.

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.

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…
How is it already mid-July?! I don’t know about you, but I always feel like the summer goes by so fast. It feels like summer just started, yet when I tried to get a new bathing suit today, it was slim pickings and a complete mish-mosh in the store. Guess I’ll have to get my act together earlier next year!…
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Summer is definitely here in our house: we’ve been grilling and enjoying lots of seasonal fruit and veggies.

Apologies for my absence – it’s been a while since I posted my Menu Plan Monday. The last couple of weeks of May were hectic and then I was in Spain for a week, but now I’m back in the swing of things and ready to get cooking again. This week we’ll be having some of our family favorites (fish…
