I’d feel like a failure as a nutritionist and mom if I couldn’t get my kid to eat at least one green thing a day. Sure, he eats those pouches with mixes like kale, apple, and mango, but let’s be honest, it’s like 99% fruit and 1% greens. (More of […]
Ever since Joaquin was born at an overly ripe two and a half weeks late, looking like a scaly reptile, he’s had issues with his skin. At a few weeks old he had cradle cap, which I successfully treated with some extra virgin olive and coconut oil. He had dry […]
I’ve been loving this Protein Pancakes recipe from my dear friend and colleague Joy Bauer. And my son, Joaquin, is obsessed! I feel good knowing this uber picky eater is getting some decent protein (about 20 grams per pancake!). The key is the eggs. Both my husband and Joaquin despise eggs in […]
My 21 month old son is a picky eater. In terms of protein, he eats one particular brand of chicken tenders, cooked crispy but not too crispy. He refuses any other forms of meat, poultry, fish and eggs. Of course, he would eat copious amounts of dairy if I’d let […]
New moms need fast, easy meals to keep them going without leaving them feeling guilty. This is one of my go-to quick lunches that’s both satisfying and nutrient-packed. And it only takes about 5-10 minutes of prep. 2 organic eggs 2 cups organic, pre-washed arugula ½ avocado, chopped 6 grape […]
Well we had an extra avocado and I really wanted to try to make the brownies fudgier with a better quality chocolate. My friend, Michaela, inspired me to try a version with black beans. Believe it or not, these are even better than the version with flour! I think the […]
I admit I was a little weirded out by the idea of avocado in my brownies, but these are quite good and relatively guilt free. I would, however, recommend blending the avocado as opposed to just mashing (as I did!). Otherwise, as you can see, you end up with green […]
Yes, I know I just posted a white bean recipe, but this recipe (modified from Food Network) is so worth sharing. Plus, I knew I’d lure you in with the word bacon. Unfortunately, I did not remember to take a picture of this one. Though, I will be making it […]
Fall is the perfect time for soups, stews and chili! Try my slightly spicy take on white chili to satisfy and warm you on a chilly day. Ingredients 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed (I like organic Smart Chicken) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 medium onion, chopped […]
I was watching a French chef highlighting some toaster-oven friendly recipes on the Today Show. He used fresh crab to make this recipe (which I’m sure tastes divine), but I chose canned salmon because: a) that was all I had, and b) it’s higher in baby brain-friendly omega-3 fats! Ingredients […]
