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 […]

When you’ve got a bun in the oven, it’s important to consider not only what you feed your belly, but also what you feed the largest organ of your body — your skin. Studies suggest that parabens, which are found in many cosmetics, soaps and lotions, contribute to the overall […]
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 […]
Constipation is never fun, especially when you’re pregnant and have an a little human body crowding out your digestive tract. Laxatives are not safe during pregnancy, so what can you do? First, make sure you’re adapting all the lifestyle factors to promote healthy bowel movements: – drink plenty of water […]
