MMMmmm. Scones. (Get the recipe for these butternut pecan scones with a clementine glaze!) I’m a dietitian. I don’t believe in diets. I love baking much more than a regular person, and probably turn out, on average, one baked good per week. Well, at least, I used to. Now that I have been living and […]

Lentil Soup and Adventures in a Minimal Kitchen
As you may or may not know, things have recently changed for me. I have been in Cusco, Peru for a month learning Spanish, and will be spending another month here before gallivanting around South America. Our home is a tiny apartamento. And as I expected, things are very, very different here. For example, eggs […]
Summer Zucchini Salad
One of the things I love most about food is how easily it can evoke certain memories within us. This summer, I’ve been volunteering with an amazing breastfeeding group in Providence, called Baby Cafe. We always have snacks available for the attendees, and one of the toddlers offered me some of his animal crackers, which I hadn’t […]

She is putting her spin on the 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating, so I took on Principle #5- Honoring Your Fullness. During my time as a breastfeeding counselor, I learned a lot about honoring fullness- […]
Chocolate Coconut Bites
I’ve struggled with iron deficiency since I was young. Having been a vegetarian from age 7-16 but also a picky eater, I almost exclusively ate bread and cheese for every meal. And french fries. When I first found out I was iron-deficient in high school, I started really paying attention to nutrition, so much so […]
What does Health Look Like?
Here are two memories: The first is when I was 14. I came down with severe food poisoning. It felt like I was dying. The only things I could get down my throat for two weeks were small sips of water and grapefruit (very weird I know). My mom and I both thought maybe I […]
How to Grow Your Own Food Year Round
As a twenty-something living in a tiny apartment in a busy city, you can imagine I don’t have much room to grow my own food. As someone who grew up gardening and working on organic farms, this can be a bit frustrating. There is really nothing like growing and picking your own food! Though there is […]
A Green Drink
I think everyone has their version of this drink. It’s a great way to get in your greens for the day without woofing down a salad. But not all green drinks are created equal. If you own a juicer, you will have noticed all that gobbeldy gunk that gets extracted as you make the juice, […]
Cauliflower Quesadillas
Cauliflower is trending. Cauliflower is the new thing. Cauliflower rice, cauliflower steaks, cauliflower mash, etc, etc. Its really only a matter of time before people start grinding it up and putting it in their hair as a leave-in conditioner or leaving a floret hanging down from their rear view mirror as an ornament or something […]
