Menu Plan: March 12-17

Menu planning today was fun- it is dreary outside and we are having a super lazy day. As I type this, at almost 1 PM, I am still in my robe. Bliss! Spring break starts for both kids on Friday. We are lucky that they have the same time off because they are in different counties. We are heading to...

recipe: turmeric crusted salmon

This crust has become a craving that won’t quit. It is the perfect blend of flavors and has one of my all-time favorite functional foods: TURMERIC! I love this vibrant yellow, anti-inflammatory spice. The flavors in this dish are out of this world. This is a one-pan lunch or dinner that comes together in under 30 minutes. Nothing beats that!...

Kid Snacks

I get asked a lot about snacks- we live in a world where we are all constantly moving from one thing to the next. Portable food is a part of all of our lives. It can be hard to make the right choices sometimes. A mom recently asked me to share my favorite snacks for kids and I knew this...

recipe: superfood butter coffee

Coffee has come a long way in our house. I have talked before about how early Michael and I wake up each day- our alarm goes off at 3:50 AM. I savor that time with him each day. We sip our coffee, watch the news (yes, there is news on that early 😉 ) and catch up with each other....

Liquid Magic

I want to talk about juicing with you all. Nothing feels quite like the first few sips of a fresh, pressed juice. They provide an energy that you can’t get any other way! I was just speaking with a client today about this “feeling”. We both marveled at how you can feel each vein in your body wake up from...

Valentine’s Date Night- In!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Today is a day to celebrate the one’s that we love. It has been so much fun watching the kids sign their cards and get ready to spread some love in school today. Before Michael and I had Evan and Edie, we would go out to dinner in Boston or Charlotte. Get all dressed up, sip champagne....

Recipe: Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie

We are moving into our new house in 11 days and in an effort to lighten our load I am using everything we’ve got in the refrigerator and freezer that I can. When I woke up Saturday I found a leftover baked sweet potato and decided to create a smoothie using it as the star ingredient. I love sweet potatoes-...

My Bookshelf: What I am reading right now

I love books. In my mind you can never know or read too much- which is probably one of the reasons I am so passionate about nutrition. The information is always changing, the science is always evolving and no two people are alike. I am thankful that there are so many resources available to pull from when I am working...

Recipe: Quinoa Power Salad

I love creating salads in the summer. We live in the water and outside during the summer months and many nights don’t feel like heating up the kitchen at the stove or with the oven. Making this salad in the morning and then not having to do a thing for dinner is just the BEST! This salad is a meal...
