It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away. I wasn’t convinced it was really November until I saw a touch of snow this morning and some crazy holiday shoppers. I mean, I’m not one to holiday shop this early, but more power to you if you do! Speaking of holiday shopping, […]

Recipe Inspiration It’s 5 o’clock on a weeknight and you get asked the question “what’s for dinner?” Uh-oh, the hanger monster is about to set in and you have NO CLUE what’s for dinner. While I’d recommend trying to plan out your week ahead of time, things happen and you need some last minute help. […]

Hi, my name is Laura aka Sassy and I love all things pumpkin. The good news?! Today is National Pumpkin Day so I don’t have to feel bad about loving the rotund squash. Just kidding, I never feel bad about the food I eat/like, so let’s carry on. To celebrate the day, I figured I’d […]

The Instant Pot has literally saved dinner time, parties, get-togethers and hanger meltdowns for me. I feel somewhat indebted to it, so consider this an ode to the Instant Pot. Let me preface this post by saying this is not a sponsored post. Instant Pot has not now or ever contacted me regarding partnering (although […]

As I said on Tuesday when the seasons change I want different food. This Strawbery Chicken Cobb Salad is one of those changes and I could eat it every dang day. I don’t often crave a salad in the middle of winter (yes, a dietitian is admitting that) as I want something warm and comforting. […]

Death to the 1,200 Calorie Mentality There is no number I hate more than 1,200. I am not superstitious nor am I one to think numbers have great meaning. For crying out loud my lacrosse number used to be 13. So why do I hate 1,200 so dang much?!?! Because for whatever reason this is […]

Yesterday I had the opportunity to network with dietetic interns and nutrition students at The Sage Colleges in Troy, NY. It made me reflect on my career and background A LOT. I haven’t had to tell my whole story in a while so it was extremely humbling to do so. I spoke to 6 different […]
