In honor of 🌎 I’m sharing one of my favorite ways to cut back on waste in the kitchen.

If you’re someone who is trying to use less plastic wrap consider trying a bees wax wrap instead! These wraps are reusable about 100x each and are a great alternative. They come in fun colors and make a nice tight seal. I love them for leftovers, covering bread dough, and wrapping up leftover veggies. Wash in cool water, let dry and use again! 🧼

Depending on the style and sizes like I’d recommend or (they also have a vegan non 🐝 wax option)

When they come to the end of their lifecycle you can compost them or use them as a fire starter in your fireplace or outdoor pit.

I’m going to start showing you guys more of my favorite kitchen products and gadget soon so let me know if there is something you want to see!

Happy ! 🫖 As someone who thoroughly enjoys a good cuppa this is my kind of holiday.

Tea is THE most widely consumed beverage in the world 🌎 and as such has variety beyond our wildest imagination. There is literally something for everyone. Here are in America we commonly break tea types into color groups such as “black” or “green” but there are worlds within each of those types. So much to explore!

Tea is also a great source of that contain and properties which have the potential to decrease the risk of heart disease heart, certain cancers, and diabetes along with a healthy lifestyle.

Try it hot or iced for a smaller caffeine kick and more than coffee. Just remember to take out the tea bag so you don’t end up with a bitter cup!

Here is just a sampling of some of the teas I enjoy- always looking for more! I tend to gravitate toward strong brews blended across the pond like and while I enjoy for herbal blends.

Do you have a favorite tea right now? Are you looking for suggestions? Let me know and I’ll get the kettle on.

Anyone else feeling this one?

I saw this sign while out shopping one day and it really spoke truth to me. Yes, I am a dietitian. No, I don’t think “diets” are the answer.

We’ve all heard it before but for some reason (*society*media*) we have a hard time sticking to the idea that we can find success without an all out diet.

That being said— WE STILL HAVE TO MAKE CHANGES to see results but these should be changed you can LIVE with. Changes that have created healthy habits that feel sustainable.

If this speaks to you, reach out and I’ll let you know how I can help. We have another round of The Right Weigh coming up starting 9/9 (tomorrow!!) and for many it’s a great place to start to help us see how we got here again and to give you your life back while still seeing changes that you want in your health. Email me with questions ([email protected]) or click the link in my bio.

WHY make the change??

You tell me— and I’ll help you get there.

I’ve been working with clients through TRW since 2015 and have been blown away by the outcomes it can have.

Over the course of the 12 weeks, I’ll guide you through a 6-phase meal plan designed to help you feel more energetic, decrease your risk of heart disease and diabetes, and improve memory, circulation and digestive health. THIS IS CUSTOMIZED to your likes, dislikes, and taste preferences. We will work TOGETHER to come up with strategies to achieve your goals.

Join me to learn and identify the physical, psychological, and environmental reasons why we eat, overeat and how you can improve your relationship with food and with yourself.

Next group starts Sept 9th— all live— all telehealth!

Half way through a 15 mile ride and fueling up for some energy!

Make sure your pre- or post-workout snacks are made of ingredients you recognize, have a good balance of carbs for energy (you need these especially if you’re going to do more cardio/endurance training!), and some protein and or fat for more sustained fuel. are a recent favorite of mine made with fruit, nuts, and brown rice protein.

How do you fuel for your workouts?

Today’s Harvest: Pickling cucumbers (I love their crunch!), grape tomatoes, basil and believe it or not a “heatless” habanero pepper!

More veggies are on their way...

What’s your favorite food to grow?

15/07/2020

Summer means garden basil and that means making pesto!

Basil is one of my favorite things to grow- for the look, aroma, and recipes I can use it in. It’s also technically green and leafy which makes it an amazing source of vitamin K (13% daily value in just 1 tbsp chopped)!

Making basil into pesto requires between 1-2 cups worth of leaves so make sure your plant can handle that level of pruning before you decide to make a batch.

Pesto is traditionally made using pine nuts ($$) but any mild nut or seed will do. I really like walnuts because they are inexpensive, give great texture and have high omega-3 levels (anti-inflammatory).

Okay, recipe!

INGREDIENTS:

•1-2 cups basil leaves🌿
•1/4-1/3 cup walnuts or other nut (pumpkin seeds would be great here!)
•Optional 1/4-1/3 cup Parmesan or Asiago cheese (omit for dairy free or sub with nutritional yeast)
•1/2-1 juiced lemon
•2 cloves of garlic (use garlic infused oil to make this low FODMAP)
•2-4 tbsp olive oil

HOW TO MAKE:

1. Add garlic cloves, cheese, and walnuts to your food processor and pulse until they resemble course breadcrumbs

2. Add your basil and lemon juice to the walnut mixture, put your lid on your processor but remove the insert. Run the processor while streaming olive oil into the mixture. Blend until desired consistency is achieved.

PRO TIPS:
•You can freeze extra pesto to use in another recipe later (just allow time to thaw)
•Try pesto with a variety of easy dishes such as zucchini noodles and shrimp, on a homemade pizza with fresh tomatoes, as a coating for grilled chicken, and more!

Ours ended up being an addition to a veggie panini 😋

How do you like to eat pesto?

Snack time! 😋

One of the main things I work on with my clients is (believe it or not) incorporating snacks into a day to keep them satisfied and help maintain a healthy metabolism.

Your body likes to eat every 3-4 hours and so for many of us snacks are a way to help keep us from overeating at another meal and give us another opportunity to get from fruits and veggies 🍓🥒

The key is to balance carbs with some protein and or fats to stay full for longer.

Pictured here:
•1/2 cup unsweetened yogurt (you can go dairy or non dairy)
•3 tbsp chopped unsalted almonds •sliced organic strawberries (part of the so go organic with these when you can!)

What’s your favorite snack?
