Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Bowl

Growing up we always had cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning as a special treat. As an adult, I prefer to spend my Christmas splurge on dinner, so I try to keep my breakfast slightly healthier but still in the same holiday spirit. I recently came across this recipe on Pinterest for cinnamon roll oatmeal and figured this would be the perfect blend of nutrition and holiday tradition. While this recipe calls for way more sugar than I would ever recommend, I was able to modify th

(Turkey) Bacon Wrapped Cheesy Jalapeno Chicken

Let's face it, chicken is boring! Although it's lean and light, it lacks in flavor for the same reason. I had so many partial leftovers trailing in my fridge, so I decided to use up some peppers I had bought at the farmers market and a few slices of uncured organic turkey bacon that I had used in my healthy BLTA in the hopes of giving my defrosted chicken breast some new life. The end result (with the help of some low fat cheddar) was packed with flavor, moisture and a major

Looking for an Easy Way to Add in Whole Grains?

I was recently contacted by the Marketing Manager at Grainful, a company manufacturing "certified gluten-free all-natural frozen entrees and shelf-stable dinner kits made with steel cut oats as the base". As a Registered Dietitian in private practice I take finding new, quality products that I can recommend to my clients very serious. Before I can recommend anything promoted to me, it must first go through my "RD litmus test". And trust me, not everything that graces my offi

A Clean Eating Grocery List (And How To Stick To It)

With fad diets falling by the wayside, my clients are now asking less about Paleo meal planning and more about how to eat a wholesome and less processed diet. I recently received an email from nutrition411.com featuring a handy clean eating shopping list. Take a look, keep it handy, and use it to navigate your way down the aisles. Please note this list is not all-inclusive and just because a particular item is not listed, does not mean it doesn’t have a place in a healthy die

Diet Friendly Trick or Treat Picks and Tips

Contrary to popular belief, Dietitians don't hand out toothbrushes and apples to trick or treaters....at least this one doesn't. If there is ever a time for a treat, Halloween is it.....not 3 pm in a cubical in front of spread sheet and/or emails. The key to keeping the holiday weight off this year, and every year after that, is snacking mindfully. Mindful eating is a practice that allows us to fully enjoy and appreciate our food, without distraction, and with the purpose to

My Fast Food Picks That Won't Kill Your Diet

I would like to preface this blog with my stance on restaurants and fast food in general. I encourage all of my clients to limit eating out as much as possible so that they can have maximum control over their food......but when life happens, I would rather see someone make an informed decision at a fast food joint, than skipping a meal all together. And because I am only human, that applies to me too! Here are my picks for when I am left less than prepared on the road or look

Whole Wheat Banana Zucchini Muffins

I love the idea of muffins as a mid-morning or afternoon snack. Portable, tasty and a better alternative to store bought granola bars. I don't love the loads of sugar and processed ingredients that make their way into most most muffin recipes. What's a girl to do? Luckily, I was fully stocked with some local zucchini and too-ripe-to-be-eaten bananas....the perfect foundation to a nutrient dense muffin. What apples are to fall, zucchini is to summer. This veggie is totally ver

Summer Fresh Bruschetta Chicken

I've yet to meet someone who doesn't like tomatoes (if you happen to be an outlier..please don't burst my bubble and keep it to yourself). It's a shame that we limit this nutrition powerhouse to just a slice or two on our sandwich or burger. With powerful antioxidants and a punch of lycopene, tomatoes are a great way to show your prostate some love all the while protecting your skin from those harmful UV Rays. Talk about food as medicine! I am getting ready to put my very ow

Easy Overnight Blueberry Bliss Oats

Looking for a grab and go breakfast that doesn't start with a drive thru window? Try overnight oats. Literally prepped the night...or several nights before and stored in the fridge. Eat it as is or microwave for a hot and wholesome way to start the day. This recipe is just in time for blueberry season and is a nutrition powerhouse packed with cancer fighting phyto-chemicals, vitamin C, vitamin E and the B-complex group responsible for helping our body covert carbohydrates int

Keeping Your Strawberry Haul Light: Simple and Clean Strawberry Recipes.

If you are looking for a way to eat healthy and still keep a budget, look no further than your own backyard. I like to practice what I preach, so we spent the weekend at a local farm picking strawberries, cherries, snap peas and beets. We got quite a haul and beacuse nothing gives me anxiety like food waste, I jumped on my "healthy meals" Pinterest page for some inspiration. While I would never slap the wrist of someone snacking on raw berries, I do, however, encourage clien

The Dietitian's Guide to Napa

The stars aligned, the babysitting Gods bestowed upon us and I had the opportunity to tour Napa Valley with my husband and a great group of friends. I am not the most organized traveler, so I am thankful to have responsible girlfriends who took on the role to make sure we hit the best wineries and local restaurants. Napa, and the surrounding valleys, must be one of the most sustainable areas I have traveled to and this resonated in every restaurant and farmer's market.....May

My Favorite Natural (And Healthy) Sweeteners

Are you still shaking a pink packet into your coffee like it’s 1989? With studies linking artificial sweeteners to increased sugar cravings and weight gain, it may be time to detox your diet from the fake stuff once and for all. Due to many unpleasant side affects (headaches and bloating are never a good look!); artificial sweeteners may be a habit that is relatively easy to kick so long as you know where they may be lingering in your diet. These nasty sugar alcohols that mak

Summer Fruit and Quinoa Protein Bars

I have major Goldilocks syndrome when searching for a wholesome and nutritious granola bar. Too much sugar, not enough protein, too many processed ingredients or not enough fiber. See what I mean? Not to say I don't pop a manufactured bar into my diaper bad from time to time, but when the logistics and ingredients line up, I try to whip up my own homemade bars for an easy snack option for the family. I like use either PB2 or quinoa for my protein rather than a processed prote

Cold Brew Orange Twist Coffee

It's that time of year again.....long walks outside, flowers, and iced coffee!!!!. Spoken like a true addict. I was recently strolling through Nordstrom and decided to make a pit stop at their cafe for a quick pick me up. I noticed a sign for their specialty "Cold Brew Orange Twist Iced Coffee" and thought "when in Rome"! Best. Decision. Ever. It was totally refreshing with a perfect citrus punch to go along with the ice-cold smooth coffee taste. Way better than the standard

Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Over Couscous

This gloomy spring weather really inspires me to get into the kitchen and cook a hot meal. I finally re-stocked my freezer with some wild caught shrimp…one of my fav ways to add lean protein to meals….and pretend to be fancy… so I figured I would build my meal around these guys. I simply place the frozen shrimp under running cold water and it is ready to cook in minutes. I recently saw a recipe for sriracha shrimp and quinoa and it got my wheels turning. I never really pai

The Eggs Are Dyed, Now What? Leftover Easter Egg Meal and Snack Creations.

Now that I am a full grown adult (boring) paying for my own food (boring), with my hard-ish earned cash, I make it a priority not to waste a crumb... and the holidays are no exception. We stuck to the traditional christian/jewish family tradition of dying brown, cage-free eggs (with all natural rice vinegar of course...what do you expect to find in a dietitian’s kitchen?) and now we have tons of eggs (and green finger nails) to use up for the week. The thought of a seven day

A Few More of My Favorite Food Finds

If you haven't noticed, this is an on going blog theme. I love sharing the foods I not only recommend you buy, but buy myself. Yes, we have more control in what we put into our bodies when we prepare food from scratch, but unfortunately our environment and hectic schedules get in the way of adhering to this philosophy 100% of the time. Luckily there are brands out there that cater to the struggle and offer options that are ready in the matter of minutes and without the scary

The Only Guilt Free Snack (That I Know Of)

Did you guess veggies? Lame. What about chips? Less Lame. Put them together for a guilt free snack that will add fiber, nutrients and satiety to your late night snack attack. You can finally have your cake (errr.....veggie chip) and it too. I usually tell my clients that there is no restriction or tracking required for veggies. At 35 calories per cup, sky is the limit. I used zucchini this time because that was in my fridge and on borrowed time. Any veggie can be used. Sweet

Nothing Says Love Like A Heart Healthy Brunch

For the record, I also think that shoes, chocolate, vacations and flowers are a nice way to say, “I love you", but if you are looking for a nice DIY approach, try one of the following mindfully decadent brunch options. Banana split: A twist on the traditional creamery favorite. Cut the banana in half long ways and top with light yogurt, nuts, fruit salsa and slivers of dark chocolate for an antioxidant kick. Turkey bacon.....but in a heart. Because every brunch needs bacon..
