“Lasagna-Style” Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe

First of all, I am going to burst I am so excited that my newest, never before seen BOOTCAMP is open for sign-ups!!  We start next week and it’s called Raising Healthy Eaters and it is your answer to how to raise children who have a healthy relationship with food, can make good choices when they are away from you, and how to stop being a short order cook.  If you’re new here, I raised three children (two of whom were really picky and now they’re not!), taught over a thousand students (mostly moms) in person over the years, and educated hundreds of elementary school students in nutrition and gardening.  I’ve been there, seen it, heard it, counseled, learned, and implemented my strategies FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES with incredible success.  I have poured all my knowledge into this course and I cannot wait to change your life!!!  For my website subscribers and my students, I am sweetening the deal with a $100 off coupon code:  KIDS100Continue reading

Crackle Top Blueberry Cobbler Recipe

This crackle top blueberry cobbler was my go-to summer dessert in 2020 and because I didn’t entertain as much last year (ahem #quarantine), it is my go-to summer dessert in 2021!  Fruit cobblers and crisps are nothing new, but when you serve them, everyone’s face lights up.  Dare I say they will always be in style?Continue reading

Hibiscus Mocktail Recipe

I’m on a mocktail kick this year.  What started with my Ginger-Lime Mocktail has expanded to my latest Hibiscus Mocktail!  I certainly love a nice refreshing cocktail or a good glass of wine every now and then.  But I don’t need alcohol to have a good time or relax and I really don’t love when I feel yuck the next morning. 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

Roasted Ratatouille Recipe

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

Flag Cookie Recipe

I have posted a few easy ideas for July 4th celebrations on Instagram already, and will post a few more!  None of them needs a recipe, but this giant flag cookie I thought could benefit from a few instructions.  I think you know me well enough that I like to have fun, be in the spirit of a holiday, but without going overboard or creating too much work for myself.  Who is with me??:)Continue reading

Grain-Free Upside Down Cherry Cake Recipe

Make this cake!  It’s delicious, easy, not over-the-top sweet, and would be a dream for your July 4th celebration or if you’re having guests this summer.  An upside down cake always looks more impressive than it is to make, so look no further if you’re in the market for an easy show stopper!  Continue reading
