This month’s Recipe ReDux theme is nuts!

We had to take advantage of the fact that National Nut Day (October 22nd) falls on one of our ReDux monthly theme post days – so we can all go nuts! Share a healthy nut-filled recipe: Think whole nuts, chopped nuts, ground nuts, nut butter and/or nut flour. And Happy Nut Day!

Unlike making nut milks, making a nut cream uses the entire nut without discarding any nut pulp, so you get the creamy texture and the beneficial fiber all in one. Continue reading →

Turns out, not that hard at all. Summer rolls are great because Continue reading →

This coming Thursday, I will graduate from my dietetic internship. I am so excited and exhausted and terrified all at the same time. Change is coming around these parts. Next up, I have to study for, take, and pass an exam to become a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) and somewhere in between I have to find a real job. Goodness.

My last dietetic internship rotation was considered my elective, and I chose to help with a research study looking at how food affects the way children eat. Continue reading →

11 May

IMG_1731Oh, how I love a good brownie. Let me count the ways…This will be my fifth blog post about brownies (sixth if you count blondies), and my second recipe for black bean brownies (see the first recipe here).

These super fudgy chocolate cookie squares contain a whole can (1 1/2 cups) of black beans. And guess what else? The brownies are made without butter, eggs, or flour. WHAT?! How can they possibly be good? They are not good, they are great, and here is why.  Continue reading →
