Get the essence of fall when you bite into this healthier, nut free, dairy free pumpkin bread, scented with cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. In eighth grade my classmates and I were allowed to take a cooking elective. This was long before I was interested in becoming a dietitian. I certainly never thought I would be a cookbook author and…
Celebrate National Picnic Month and National Blueberry Month this July! Plus, this week’s Menu Plan Monday and Link Love. Happy Monday everyone! This past weekend seemed to go by super fast for me – probably because I spent half of it in the kitchen prepping for a barbecue we hosted yesterday! If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you…
My favorite cold weather meals, link love, and this week’s Menu Plan Monday. Brrr…it got cold here in NY this weekend, which has put me in the mood for warming foods like soups, stews, roasted veggies, and pasta. While I can – and do – eat all of these all year long, the fall and winter is definitely prime time…

Hope everyone had a happy, healthy, safe, and fun Halloween! My girls had a blast trick-or-treating with some of their little friends and collecting candy. Once they went to bed, mommy and daddy had our fill of what they collected 😉 Don’t worry, we saved them some! The rest of the weekend was treat-filled too with mini-muffins at brunch Saturday…
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…
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…
Cooking with dried fruits and vegetables is a nutritious and delicious way to add flavor to your meals all year round. Here are some of my favorite recipes using sun-dried tomatoes, raisins, dried cranberries, and dried apricots. I wish I had my act together for this month’s Recipe ReDux, but between the start of school, hiring a new caregiver for…
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…
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…
