You hear me say it a lot, but cruciferous vegetables are among the best nutritional choices you can make. (Psssst, it’s the cabbage family.) If you’re not sure what’s a crucifer and what’s not, here’s a quick run down of the family: Broccoli Warm, sweet comforting oats for a cozy holiday morning. I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! ½ cup quick oats Combine oats, milk, water, and banana in medium bowl and microwave [...] Hi Georgie I am nearly 27 weeks pregnant and have put on about 20 pounds (eeek). Prior to getting pregnant I tracked everything I ate and exercised almost every day, but then I got married, we spent 2 months travelling around the world and along the way I fell pregnant. I put on about 13 pounds whilst [...] Two questions came in recently that were very similar, so I thought a joint post was in order. Q #1: Hey Georgie, LOVE your site! I know you’ll be able to answer this- hopefully anyway since you seem to know everything about food+fitness, but what to do when trying to gain (muscle) and maintain [...] This comfort-food recipe is a classic European dish with some healthy tweaks. I swapped extralean ground meat in for fattier beef, and also used cooked whole grain barley instead of white rice. The hand-filled rolls are then baked in a sweet and sour tomato sauce. This is NOT a weeknight recipe, as it does take some time [...] This flavorful Thai dish makes a high protein meal, but also makes a great healthy holiday appetizer recipe! Just use smaller pieces of meat and serve on a platter with dipping sauce. Your guests won’t leave one morsel uneaten, I promise! It’s a quick and easy weeknight recipe, since you just puree the sauce ingredients in a [...] Hey, Georgie. I have heard from more than one source that consuming fat in your recovery meal can get in the way of caloric recovery. 1. Is this true? 2. If so, what is the amount of acceptable fat in a recovery meal? 3. Is this true of all fats, including healthy fats such as nuts [...] My recipes have been trending to be a bit fancier lately; you could say I’ve had some gourmet influences….But now that it’s finals time – here’s a recipe in my signature syle of minimalist, superfast meals for the student readers! So all of you out there in dorms with no stove – get your can openers [...] Truthfully, this farinata had more piled upon it than zucchini and eggplant, but the title can only be so long. Since I’ve started making farinata (chickpea flour flatbread) I’ve wanted to build something like a roasted veggie pizza on one, and when I finally did, it was as great as I had hoped. I wanted to maximize the nutrition [...] Thanks to Kim for this question. She has been struggling to manage a very tight budget, but still wants to eat healthy. Hang in there Kim, it can be done! Eating on a budget does mean making some adjustments, but you don’t have to eat fast food, or a lifetime of ramen noodles. I came up with [...] This recipe is my time-saving adaptation of Kalyn Denny’s Spaghetti Squash and Chard Gratin. Why the kale and not chard? No reason other than having kale in the fridge, to be honest. I believe this dish would work wonderfully with any green leafy vegetable, though the flavors would vary slightly. I’m sure spinach would also be [...] Red cabbage is one powerfully healthy vegetable. Like other red/purple fruits and veggies, red cabbage contains anthocyanin flavonoids which have demonstrated antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and cardioprotective benefits. It contains 36 different types of anthocyanin, to be exact. Anthocyanins also appear to favorably affect fat cell function, which may help combat metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. In addition, [...] Tom wrote in with the above question, after seeing the protein-packed breakfast cookie recipe which includes whey protein powder. This is actually something I am asked rather often, so it’s a good candidate for a post. In short, no, cooking doesn’t affect your body’s use of protein, whether it’s whey powder added to cookies, or cooking raw [...] This low fat recipe uses LightLife Gimme Lean vegetarian sausage, which is one of my all-time favorite products. If you’ve never had it, I highly recommend that you give it a shot. If you’re not game for vegetarian sausage, you can substitute leftover turkey, cooked chicken, or low fat chicken or turkey sausage*. 1 large acorn squash If you can boil water and work your blender, you’re set. Really. To boot, this is so filling that if I make this soup and eat it all, I can’t eat dinner for a while after. (And if you know my appetite that’s pretty darn incredible.) It’s a great speedy warm-me-up and fill-me-up soup that you [...] |
