Dinner Planner – Week of August 2nd, 2021

I just arrived in Boston to help my daughter Anna move into her new apartment!  Many of my Instagram friends have gotten to know Anna over the last year+ because she has been my right hand during so many IG lives.  Exciting times for her to start her new job and her new life.  A little sad for Mom of course!  I’ll be back for my regular IG live on Monday though.

I have been chatting with my monthly online cooking class students and I think I am going to switch our format to the bootcamp format where I watch the pre-recorded class with you and answer questions in the chat in real time as well as have a live Q&A after class.  Click here for more information about my monthly online classes.  It’s 5 new recipes every month (and all the tips and techniques) that I keep exclusive for 1 year!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:Continue reading

Hemp Seed Pesto Recipe

In the last few years, one of my nutrition goals has been to mix it up.  What does that mean?  It means that I am not eating the same ingredients/foods over and over again. I am diversifying in order to expose myself (and my family) to different nutrients and different types of fiber which can help keep my gut microbiome flourishing.  Plus, variety is the spice of life!Continue reading

Dinner Planner – Week of July 19th, 2021

When I taught in-person classes, I normally took July off since so many people would travel during that time. I did the same last year and this year with my bootcamps, but the monthly online class is up!  And, it’s time to get back to bootcamps!  Beginning the week of July 26, I will be repeating

Grilled Halibut with Watermelon Pico de Gallo Recipe

I’m on a bit of a watermelon kick lately.  It’s likely because wherever I seem to go, it’s hot and muggy and I just keep craving watermelon!  It is one of the most hydrating and cooling foods out there. Watermelon is actually more than 90% water.  But it’s also high in vitamin C, beta-carotene and lycopene (which gives it its red color.) I don’t usually wax poetic about all the nutrients in plant foods because I think they’re all good for you, but I think sometimes we think that if a food is mostly water, it’s not overly beneficial.  Not the case!Continue reading
