One trick I often use to keep food costs down is buying protein foods in bulk. I always have extra chicken breasts, turkey burgers, and shrimp and cod seafood stored in the freezer. But sometimes, I want to make dinner and haven’t thawed anything out. Has this ever happened to you? Cooking frozen meat just doesn’t [...]

This recipe is pretty fast…for a slow cooker. It only needs 2.5 hours, so you can set it in the afternoon for dinner, or start it in the morning and it’s ready for lunchtime. The leftovers are fabulous; heat up a container of this at work and everyone will be sniffing the air at lunchtime, asking [...] My 12 year old son is a competitive gymnast & practices about 15 hours per week & competes a few time a month from December to April. I was wondering what you would recommend for him to eat the day of a competition before & during a competition which can last up to 5 hours? Thanks [...] Georgie, I love pizza and could probably sustain my life on it. Is there a healthier version that is not too difficult to make? I am SO with you! I love pizza, and we are certainly not alone! The good news is, your healthy lifestyle and your pizza addiction don’t have be enemies! I wrote a brief article not [...] If you love noodles/pasta but are trying to avoid excess calories and carbs, give shirataki noodles a try! These noodles come prepacked in liquid, and just need to be drained and rinsed, and then can be used in place of cooked pasta. They don’t really have much of a flavor of their own, but make a [...] Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas has been one of the most popular recipes on AskGeorgie.com to date! And I’m not surprised – it’s no secret that people love things that are crunchy and salty, but most crunchy salty snacks aren’t very good for you. Highly processed, high in bad fats, perhaps tainted with acrylamide even. Healthy eaters have [...] Hello Georgie!I’m entering my second semester junior year of college. Luckily for me, I lost 20 pounds before I hit college, so the “freshman 15″ were never a problem for me — my own preventative measures. Unfortunately, time has caught up with me. I’m about 50 pounds from where I want to be. I miss my [...] No two ways about it, this is a big serving, for a big appetite! It could easily feed two people, if you wish. But when I’m really hungry and need some pizza-flavored satisfaction, this recipe does the trick every time. I add a generous sprinkling of hot red pepper flakes, but you can omit them if [...] Do you like tuna salad? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you order tuna salad sandwiches at a deli or restaurant, you’re in for a big scoop of fat and a pile of calories, thanks to the mayonnaise. The tuna salad sandwich at Panera contains 740 calories and 44 grams of [...] This salad is no wimp. Packed with lean protein from the turkey, healthy vegetables, and full of earthy flavor from portobello mushrooms and balsamic vinegar, it’s a satisfying, good-for-you meal. I used a Jennie-O extra lean frozen turkey burger I had on hand, but you could also use a fresh turkey burger or plain ground turkey [...] Hey Georgie, Love the website and recipes. Was wondering what the deal is with egg substitute versus egg whites. Alot of your recipes use egg substitute?? -Pritee Thanks for saying you love the site, Pritee! Egg substitutes are fat free and cholesterol free, pasteurized egg whites. They come in cardboard cartons and can be found in any regular [...] I love mini-meals. Eating small portions throughout the day helps keep my hunger in check, blood sugar even and evergy levels high – all necessities for staying lean! Often I grab a Greek Yogurt and fruit or a protein bar when I don’t want a full meal, but sometimes you just don’t want sweet. Today the spicy [...] Dear Georgie, With the New Year and all the new fitness goals of everyone I am having difficulty with this question. In many of the competitive sporting rings they preach cardio in the morning BEFORE eating anything. I have done research and found multiple articles on the fact that if you exercise without a small breakfast of [...] Hi Georgie, I wanted to ask about how to lose and maintain weight. I have a pear shaped body. I have been working for the past 3 months to reduce some weight before I get pregnant.I did lose a few pounds in the first few weeks but now no change. Please help me. Thanks Hi Nisha, Thanks for writing. It [...] I’m kinda new to the website, but found alot of the articles very informative. I was wondering if you had any advice with regards to training and nutrition for someone who is about to under go therapy for knee reconstruction (acl). Any advice about nutrition, training to stay in shape (especially training around the injured leg) [...] Did you know that many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in fruit and vegetables are found in the skin or peel? Before you peel your next apple, consider that you’d be removing a large portion of the fruit’s fiber and phenol antioxidants. While the skin on some fruits or vegetables is bitter (like oranges) or tough [...] Hey Georgie – How good is the Paleo Diet? I’ve heard alot of good things about it, everything from increased energy and strength to overall better health. I was curious what your thoughts on it were. -Alex Hi Alex, The Paleo Diet is similar to many other diets that claim to be based on what our prehistoric ancestors [...] Imagine a cross between a chocolate chip cookie and a chocolate chip muffin. (But it’s a low fat, whole-grain cross of course.) One chocolate chipper is a guilt-free way to satisfy a sweet tooth or kick a chocolate craving – but I suggest keeping extras in the fridge or freezer so you aren’t tempted to eat [...] |
