egg bites

If you follow me on Instagram you know one of my go-to breakfasts on the road is the Sous-Vide Egg Bites from Starbucks. Why? Because they are easy to grab and go, I know my stomach can tolerate them, and they taste delicious. The other reason is that there is a Starbucks almost anywhere I […]

Instant Pot Sous Vide Egg Bites

I know, I know cookies for breakfast?! Sounds ridiculous coming from a dietitian but hear me out. I struggle to eat breakfast most days of the week as do many of my clients. It’s not that I don’t like breakfast it’s just that I don’t love eating when I first wake up. Now, I’m not […]

Fig & Maple Breakfast Cookies (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free)

I have to admit, to my knowledge, I have never had green bean casserole before. Every year I have looked it up and thought “why would I want that?” I guess my background serves me well in that case because I think processed non-enjoyable dish when I think of a traditional green bean casserole. Now, […]

Gluten-Free Green Bean Casserole

I was at the gym the other day and was looking at the food we had on hand. I love what we offer at our gym because it’s pretty simple to grab & go, and real food-based. However, I’m always in the camp of “can I make this myself?” I looked at the Fuel for […]

Sweet Potato Apple DIY Protein Pouches

Sometimes you just need a recipe with a lot of pictures, am I right?! Something that resembles those delicious sub catering restaurant bites, and light lunches from cafes you’ve been to. It’s even better when you can make those at home. That’s what you are about to get here, an easy egg salad sandwich with […]

Easy Egg Salad Sandwich

I don’t know about you but I love this time of year for food. It seems like some of the best foods are in season. I may be biased because I’m a foodie but man oh man am I loving all the apples, squashes, and other fresh harvest fruits & vegetables. I had so many […]

Easy Gluten-Free Apple Crisp

Let me set one thing straight before I start this post, spaghetti squash is not spaghetti. While I love the squash and use it in place of pasta, I will not sit here and tell you that it tastes the same or can replace pasta 1 for 1. I’m Italian after all, so I know […]

Pumpkin Cheesecake Overnight Oats

peanut butter cups

I’ve said it before but one of my all-time favorite Halloween candies is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I don’t often crave them but when it’s that time of year (aka Halloween) it happens. I see the orange wrapper at grocery stores and Target and start to get that mouthwatering sensation. While it’s okay to eat […]

Hello from Washington, DC. You guys, I lost my voice (if you have it, please return) and I sound absolutely ridiculous so I’m glad that I can type to you and you won’t notice. I am having an absolute blast and cannot wait to update you on what I’ve been learning here at the conference. […]

Sheet-Pan Breakfast Bake

instant pot applesauce and apple butter

If you don’t know, now you know. I am a fan of the Instant Pot and it’s been a lifesaver in the kitchen for me. I recently took a trip to a local Apple Orchard and I had apples coming out my ears. I didn’t have room for the apples in my house anymore and […]

banza mac and cheese

Oh hey there cold weather, I was wondering when you were going to make your appearance. Thankfully the good thing about cold weather is that it’s enticing to turn the oven on and cook some comfort meals like this Bacon Brussels Sprout Mac & Cheese. While I’m not jazzed about the cold, I am jazzed […]
