We all know that obesity is rising in incidence across all population groups, and it’s quite scary to see how rampant overweight is in youngsters. Children who are overweight are highly likely to remain so as adults, so what parent wouldn’t want to give their kid the best chances possible to remain in the healthy weight [...]

Kale is the most beautiful deep green vegetable, packed with nutrients and phytochemicals, that most people never eat. And really c’mon, it’s just big leaves, how exciting and appetizing is that? But aha! Bake it with some olive oil and it magically becomes a brittle crisp chip, perfect for snacking or crunching with soup. So you may [...] I realized I have a bit of a shortage of breakfast recipes posted, so here’s two in a row! These are a great make-ahead recipe, so you can make a bunch and keep them on a plate in the refrigerator, covered in plastic wrap. They have some sweetness on their own, so they don’t really need [...] A breakfast that would make anyone happy to get out of bed. Make your sweetie one of these as a surprise (or dish it up for yourself) and POOF watch a morning person appear! Cooking spray I’m trying to incorporate more good fats into my diet like flax, and avocado and nuts. But after years of “fat is bad” talk I’m concerned about portions. Without driving myself into a counting frenzy, is there a % of my diet that comes from fat that I should be aiming for? – Danielle Thanks for the [...] This recipe was inspired by Deborah Chud’s shrimp marinara, which is one of my favorite Italian dishes. I use her recipe for homemade marinara, too, but you can use jarred pasta sauce if you wish, or your own homemade version. 2 ½ pounds cleaned calamari, raw (tubes only, or tubes and tentacles) Hi Georgie, I got some of these [...] One of the best things about having an Asian market near me is the amazing variety of mushrooms! For this soup I bought white and brown beech mushrooms (top), prince oyster mushrooms (bottom left), and added in half of a portobello cap I had in the fridge (bottom right). You can make it with any variety [...] Dear Georgie, Thanks for your great site! What makes a food a “good source” of a nutrient? I see claims on packaging all the time like “great source of fiber” or “good source of vitamin C,” only to discover that 1 serving contains less than 2% of the daily value of that nutrient. How [...] There’s something enticing about a nice crisp, seasoned coating on tender, flaky fish. I love it. What I don’t love are the hydrogenated oils found in most commercial breadcrumbs, or the empty calories and carbohydrates from refined flour. An easy solution? Use almond meal! The same ground almonds you can use to make the Berry Crumble [...] So few ingredients, so little effort and time, and it tastes sooooo good! Why not make this berry crumble for your sweetie this weekend? Berries are full of heart-healthy and cancer preventing antioxidants from pigments known as anthocyanins, and they are lower in sugar than most other fruits, while being high in fiber. For a double [...] Hi there–I have been hearing a lot about spinach in smoothies and finally tried it a few times. What are benefits to my smoothies besides iron that spinach brings to the table and why do I have so much energy after I have one of these? Thanks! -Tiffany I’d definitely give a thumbs up to [...] Canned tuna accounts for as much as a quarter of all seafood eaten in the U.S. While tuna provides great source of protein, is inexpensive, and contains omega-3 fatty acids, the mercury content of canned tuna is cause for concern among many health experts. Reseachers at the University of Nevada Las Vegas analyzed more than 300 samples [...] As part of one of the weight loss classes I teach, we have personal chef Kathy Rana of Madeline’s Table come in and present a cooking class/demo. Among Kathy’s arsenal of healthy flavors in her “Beans and Greens” class, she demonstrated a lentil soup with escarole that was a hit with all the participants, even the [...] Hey there! I love the website! Do you have any tips/recipes for the eating fiasco known to be Super Bowl Sunday?! I’m a wings, dip, and chips girl and know there has to be some ‘slight’ alternatives. I know I won’t be eating lettuce wraps, but do you have any appetizer or entree ideas that won’t be [...] I was wondering if you had any suggestions for snacks that can be brought to school and eaten inbetween classes? I’m getting a bit sick of my usual cheerios or apple/applesauce rotation. - Crystal Dear Georgie, Since starting college, everything has been hectic! During my first semester, I made some not-so-smart food choices and ended up gaining about 7 [...] |
