It's been way too long. I hate that I haven't been here since Halloween and it's almost Thanksgiving. Where did this fall go? I've been traveling the past 6 weeks and started a new job… same amazing boss, but now my days are mostly spent with the Orlando Magic, helping the players with their nutrition. I'm not complaining, it's so much fun!So this weekend home was all about re-cooperation. It was total girl time, with me, myself, and I. Just what I needed. Eric was out of town, so Friday night was filled with cleaning the bathroom, mopping the floors, doing laundry, and organizing Eric's messy dresser. He's a neat freak, but now I know where he hides things. It was one of those nights where a bowl of frozen yogurt for dinner will do … yeah, that totally happened. I was happy to have ... View Post
Do I need to detox?
Many celebs have popularized detoxification diets as a means of weight loss and cleansing the body. But where is the science in all of this? Well, today I'm going to separate the science from the hysteria. Detoxification is a natural body process where the liver and gut play a major role. Our body is equipped to handle toxins, but it's very likely this is conditional for many people.Last week I was at the Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo and listened to a talk on detoxification from Gerard Mullin, a GI doctor from Johns Hopkins. For a little background, I've been practicing nutrition just over two years and have learned a lot about keeping an open mind when it comes to nutrition. As I have read research, worked with clients, and learned from mentors, I've begun to expand upon my ... View Post
sharing recipes, life… and nutrition
Many of you know I got married the weekend after graduating from Auburn University and started my dietetic internship that summer of 2010. We were blessed with lots of gifts including a fully stocked kitchen, but I really had no idea how to use these kitchen tools to prepare and cook a meal. I started watching the food network, learned some basic cooking skills and begin to cook meals at home for the two of us. I found new recipes on the internet and in cookbooks too. And this is when I discovered food blogs, My Baking Addiction was one of the first blogs I found and was fascinated that people with my interests were sharing their recipes through blogging. My mom has my Granny's old recipe cards; they are even more beautiful with my Granny's handwriting and all of the food stains. You ... View Post
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries and Toasted Pecans
It's been a really crazy month of travel and it's not winding down for a few more weeks. I'm so craving our slow Saturdays of morning coffee, Farmer's markets, and a stroll on the Ave. Those weekends are so so precious to me, and I sure do miss them, especially when I'm away from Eric. This weekend I'm in Houston for the Food & Nutrition Conference and Expo. It's been an exciting trip hanging with some of my favorite foodie RDs and fellow bloggers, which always leaves me feeling fulfilled. The days are slammed with seminars, connecting with brands at the expo, and parties. After being on my feet all day yesterday, I felt like I needed an ice bath, like I had just finished a marathon. Brussels sprouts are a favorite seasonal find at the Farmer's markets this time of year. And the ... View Post
Pumpkin Mac and Cheese
Anytime I'm brainstorming a new recipe, I call my mom. She is an awesome cook and filled with creative ideas. She has lots of delicious recipes and is pretty famous for her macaroni and cheese. If it doesn't make an appearance at a tailgate or family party she is questioned. So I called her the other day to get her secrets... can you believe she adds a whole stick of butter and Velveeta to her mac & cheese?! I love my mom, but that processed cheese product would never make it into my recipe! I want the real thing so I shredded up my new favorite Alpine blend from Cabot. Cabot asked me to demo the recipe at the Southern Women's Show in Orlando, which was this past weekend. I've never done a cooking demo on that scale before-- microphone, cooking stage, crowd of people, and ... View Post
Breakfast Flatbread Pizza
Last Sunday, Eric and I had breakfast at 903 Mills Market, a very quaint local restaurant in the neighborhood where we use to live. When I dine out I always ask the person taking my order their favorite item on the menu. I like to hear what others enjoy, and it's usually is a winner of a choice. Eric gets jealous when this happens because my food tastes better than his. I had pizza for breakfast, and I'm not talking the cold pizza leftovers! Their breakfast pizza rocked my socks and I was wearing sandals! It totally inspired me to create my own at home. Duh! I'm so into eggs at breakfast.. they are savory and a great breakfast protein, but I have to be honest sometimes eggs and toast or fruit can get really routine and boring. The breakfast pizza is a egg-cellent way to spice up the ... View Post
