A friend of mine once called cheesecake the “Holy Grail of Desserts.” In my mind this recipe is a sort of holy grail in that it is has all of the best recipe characteristics: easy, fast (no-bake!), requires just a few ingredients, low in carbs/sugar/calories, and the end result tastes…. incredible. It’s that simple. Top your cheescakes [...] Hi Georgie, I have two daughters age 15 and 17. I decided to raise my girls as lacto-ovo vegetarians because at the time I was too. (I started eating fish again a few years ago.) Getting enough protein when they were younger was never a problem BUT now it is very difficult. While they once ate [...] With the recent material on getting kids to eat more fruits and vegetables, this seems like a great time to share a fun video sent to me by a reader. Adorable 4 year old Nadia crunching on kale chips with her dad and proclaiming, “GOOD!” Proof that great role modeling can make even green leafy stuff [...] I am flattered to have been interviewed TWICE this month by two great food and nutrition companies. If you are interested, you can check out the interviews on Precision Nutrition and on Behind the Burner! Plus, check out what GLAMOUR magazine’s blog had to say about my protein bars! And the official announcement: We’re moving! Don’t worry, AskGeorgie.com [...] There are plenty of reasons to make your own protein bars. First, it’s economical! You’ll save a lot of money, particularly if you have a habit of buying single bars one a time. Even better, you can customize your bars to your taste preferences, avoid any allergens, and leave out ingredients you don’t want. You can [...] I have a hard time getting my 12 year old son to eat veggies. He doesn’t seem to understand the importance of veggies & fruits to his development & well being. He will eat raw carrots, cucumbers and red bell peppers, but I have to bug him throughout the meal. If I am not there to [...] Happy St. Patrick’s Day everybody! Two green nutrition superstars today: Asparagus and Brussels Sprouts. It’s probably not news to you that these two veggies are packed full of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that may help prevent cancer. Plus, since they are high in fiber and low in calories – you can’t find better foods to add [...] Hey Georgie. I was just reading your article at Behind the Burner, and it raised a question for me. I train a lot and have trouble finding the appropriate amount of calories for adequate recovery while not elevating passed my weight division. I find that when I trim the calories I slow in gains, and when [...] Although I’ve been searching for an answer online, I haven’t been able to find the characteristics of Tofu and Seitan. I was wondering whether it should be used in a weight loss diet, as well as if it’s fattier than meat (since seitan is made with wheat, we might put on some weight thanks to it, [...] Creamy chowders can be a nutritional minefield. While omega-3 rich seafood is a heart healthy start, these soups often combine high fat dairy products like cream with potatoes, corn, and sometimes bacon. Delicious? You bet! But not something that you’d want to eat on a regular basis if you’re trying to slim down or keep your [...] In honor of St. Patricks Day next week, I thought I would add some green-spiked recipes this week! (I know, most of my recipes are veggie heavy so that’s not very new, but do you really need another corned beef or soda bread recipe? ) First up, a quick and easy, protein-packed sandwich featuring pesto for added [...] Mary writes: I notice you use splenda in your recipes. Can you suggest any substitutes and how to use them to equal the splenda in your recipes? I just found your site and your info and recipes are just great. Thanks, Mary Mary, you are not alone. While Splenda is my sweetener of choice, how to sweeten one’s food [...] Two questions recently came in asking about protein powder. First, Wayne asks: Love your site & recipes! Do you have a particular brand of protein powder you like to use when baking things like the oatmeal power cookies? Wayne Culbreth The short answer is Optimum Whey 100% Gold Standard or GNC 100% Whey Protein. But really, there are many [...] Today I’ll get to the third installment in the calamari trifecta. Then, I promise, I’m off the squid kick. We’ve simmered calamari in lycopene-rich tomato sauce, baked it in crisp panko, and today: broiled it to perfection with the fresh flavors of lemon and parsley. If you prefer your calamari tender, stick to 10 minutes cook time, [...] It’s not an April fools joke WAY in advance – I actually made some healthy “fried” calamari recently. If you like the greasy, artery-clogging variety, but want to be a littler kinder to your heart (and waistband!) I hope you’ll give this leaned-out version a try! It’s got all the good stuff, tender, chewy rings, crisp [...] |
