Very often people are surprised when they hear what I do. Dietitian who promote weight loss? Not so surprising. Dietitans who counsel patients on managing specific diseases? Definitely. A dietitian who is supposed to help parents figure out how to feed their kids? I get more than my fair share of eye brow raises. I […]
I am more than happy to admit it- I am a flyer shopper. My husband has many a time watched me haul 50 (give or take) cans of tuna into our apartment at one time because they were on sale ($0.89- that’s like more than a dollar off each one!). And does he look at […]
Okay….so we started with sweet potatoes which might be one of the most kid friendly vegetables out there. And now….we’re moving onto possibly one of the least kid friendly vegetable, Brussel sprouts. Now I love Brussel sprouts! Crispy crunchy Brussel sprout chips are my jam. But I will hand it to every kid who has […]
Ah the Sweet Potato! As the name suggests these tubers are super sweet making them a kid favourite. They are relatively inexpensive and pair really well with lots of different flavors. All of these recipes are staples in my house, and the sweet potato fries are a perfect recipe for moms who are choosing to […]
Welcome to the first month of our #lazymom veggie challenge. While working with clients, talking to friends, being a mom, there is one thing I think every parent has agreed on- feeding kids is hard! And don’t even get me started on vegetables! There are some kids will inhale every head of broccoli in sight, […]
How many times have you seen a post on Instagram or a recipe on a wellness website- about their “simple” “thrown together” lunch…..only to lose count of how many ingredients they used, the twenty stores they went to source them, from places that definitely don’t fit into your family’s weekly budget. Honestly, half the time […]
You really can’t argue with the amazingness of a good burger and fries. But sometimes a girl needs something a little bit outside the routine, and that’s where these tuna burgers come in. These are not your mama’s tuna patties, and while they can never take the place of a juicy burger, they are just […]
For a long time I’ve run my practice thinking only as a dietitian- because really what else would I be running a practice as?? But when I think back to every suggestion I’ve made to clients, and quite frankly the things I used to do before becoming a mom sometimes I just have to laugh. […]
I’m pretty sure I’ve heard the same sentence from my clients thousands of times (but whose counting…). I know I “should” eat healthier/cook more/include more balanced meals BUT…*include various answers here*. And I get it, there are any number of reasons why changing eating habits can be challenging. So in the next couple of posts […]
So here is a little secret….. I almost never make dinner fresh. There are obviously days that are exceptions (eg. weekends) but on most days I’m not making dinner to order. Bigger secret…I don’t feel even a little bit bad about it. I hear a lot from moms how guilty they feel for feeding their […]
