It’s officially Autumn here in the Midwest, which means cooler weather, fall colors, pumpkin spice, and of course Halloween! It’s the one day in a year we see goblins, princesses, and TV stars alike, going door to door asking for candy. Now don’t call me the candy police, I’ll be the last person to say you should avoid candy on Halloween, but moderation can be a total game changer! Let’s chat a little about how added sugar in Halloween candy nutrition can really stack up. Continue reading

First a little tutorial about flax seeds… Flax is a super seed grown mostly in Canada, North Dakota and South Dakota. Minnesota and Wisconsin also produce flax.
Canada is the leading producer of brown flax seed and the Dakota’s tend to produce more of the golden flax. There is little difference in the two colors but many prefer the gold because it is easier to sneak into recipes, the brown is more visible in those muffins! Continue reading

Hey all- in my world- its grilling season already! We have had a few nice days and you can bet my grill was out cooking away! There is nothing more appetizing than the smell of freshly grilled food!
As I have mentioned in the past, grilling is a healthy way to prepare your foods for several reasons. When we plan to grill most of the time, the main focus is on the meat or the protein portion of the meal and we sometimes forget about the veggies and fruit. Why not grill those veggies too- its gives them a wonderful flavor as well and YES you can definitely grill those fruits. I think you all got that point that we can grill just about any produce item whether its fruits or veggies- the more the better! Remember at least half your plate at every meal!
Try unique ones for the grill- cabbage, salad- yes I said salad, okra and even figs.
The challenge that exists is how to add color to those main courses or the protein options. So let me help with that:
You can grill for any meal occasion, from dessert, to lunch- salad with grilled veggies and a side of some fresh frilled bread topped with a gourmet cheese? Count me in!
I hope you are inspired to try some new ideas and recipes! I know I am! Food is never boring!
Peace and Wellness,

Potlucks are great anytime of the year, but they tend to be more popular this time of year as we have more gatherings with friends and family for the holidays and football games. Potlucks are popular because not only is it a lot less work for the host, but it provides a wide variety of foods for everyone to try! In my family, potlucks are a must. I have a large family, so large in fact that we have to rent out a community room or an external space to host our family gatherings because we don’t fit in our own houses anymore! But, no matter where we spend our holidays, food is always at the top of mind.

I’ve thought a lot about this blog. Slow Cooker Quinoa has kind of had me stumped.
Quinoa was the subject of my first blog over two years ago. I didn’t want to go down that same research based path again. I’ve already told you about its origins and stellar nutritious powers. Also, I don’t do a whole lot of crock pot cooking anymore. Crock pots and slow cookers are a great appliance when preparing food for families and pot lucks. Cooking for one and crock pots don’t really go together.
I have a small 1.5 quart crock pot that is a pretty, bright yellow, so I pulled it out and set it on my kitchen counter hoping its cheery look would inspire me. It didn’t. So I left. It was a beautiful, sunny Saturday in October with temperatures hitting the low seventies, not a day to be inside making up recipes. Also it was a perfect day to work on my biggest project.
If Fall is in the air, that means it’s time to enjoy this tasty Pumpkin Dip! It’s quick, easy and makes the perfect Fall treat! Our dietitians are adding new recipes all the time, so check out our Dietitians Choice Recipes page for all their latest recipes!

When cauliflower pizza crust first started making its way around Pinterest and magazines I blew off the idea because I thought they were nuts. How could you take a plain ordinary vegetable as a substitution for that wonderful yummy crust that we all love and crave? But I keep hearing and seeing reviews on how it is such a big hit when making homemade pizzas that I became intrigued with it and could no longer ignore it. Continue reading
