Hello! As a busy mom of two school-age children with a full-time nutrition private practice, I know the struggle of trying to get a healthy family meal on the table that everyone will enjoy without the fuss. I help folks, including those with health concerns, with their food and nutrition goals. My nutrition tips are concise, practical, science-based and non-judgmental. You'll find me working one-on-one with clients, developing and testing recipes for my blog, writing my Los Angeles nutrition column and enjoying a laid-back Southern California lifestyle with my family.
Looking forward to learning my biological age after attending the @tallyhealth LA dinner at @bevhillshotel this week. An easy cheek swab and results in just three weeks. Tally is connecting epigenetic technology, sleep science and supplements for longevity.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!🎊🥂 ——————————— 2023 was a year of highs and lows. As we wrap it up, I like to focus on the highs - time with family, a new pup 🐶, pierced ears, trips to Curacao, Vegas, Cancun, Vancouver, Virginia and more. Wishing you a very happy New Year in good health. May 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣ bring peace ☮️ and prosperity.
❄️Winter Break 2023❄️ trip to Mammoth. Kids’ first time skiing ⛷️ . One skied blues the other skied greens. Fun time tubing, playing games by the fire, playing in the snow ⛄️ and visiting some of the restaurants Matt remembers from his childhood. Ready to welcome in the New Year!
As a registered dietitian and a mom of two, I can tell you with 100% certainty that one of the best ways to positively impact your child’s nutrition for life is to teach them how to cook. Teaching them (or yourself) “how to cook” is about having a repertoire of various culinary skills paired with familiarity with foods. Here are my top 9 culinary skills to teach your child before 10 years old: - To set and clear the table. - To hold and use a knife. - Safety when using heat. - How to put away groceries. - To use measuring cups and spoons. - How to plan a meal. - To read a basic recipe. - To make a snack independently. - How to boil water.
Phew! Our family survived the first week of the school year. There’s so much emotion wrapped up in the back-to-school season. I think a big part of it is, as parents, seeing time fly before your eyes. Follow along this month for my Back-to-School #giveaway to help make school lunch easy and nutritious. Happy September, happy back-to-school season and happy Labor Day weekend!
Impromptu trip to one of our favorite cities. We ate our way through Vancouver and these are some of the highlights. The @botanist.ca and especially their raspberry pavlova were a highlight. Truly a destination for amazing fresh seafood (salmon and oysters like nowhere else), Chinese cuisine (particularly Hong Kong-style), sushi, coffee and restaurants with incredible sea, city and mountain views.
A new month is the perfect time to define goals, start a new habit and plan. Whether you’re focused on family, health, home, finances or otherwise, use this little beginning {August} to give you the push you need. In August I plan to: 1️⃣ Get ready for the new school year by cleaning out my kids’ bedrooms. I’m doing this while they are at sleep away camp to make it a surprise for when they come home. 2️⃣ Enjoy at least 1-2 more beach days with family and our new puppy. While living 30 minutes from some of California’s most beautiful beaches allows us to visit anytime, the Pacific is freezing and is best enjoyed on hot days. 3️⃣ Continue my @f45_training workouts 4 days per week. I’m loving weightlifting and want to keep up my current routine, which takes a great deal of effort to carve out the time. 4️⃣ Visit my local farmer’s market every Tuesday or Sunday. August is the last month for summer produce so I plan to make the most of it enjoying fresh cut melon, corn salads, berries and all the tomatoes I can get. What are you planning for August?

Happy Halloween Friends! It’s so nice to have Halloween 🎃 👻😈 back! Last year we tried to make up for no trick-or-treating by pivoting to other spooky activities like carving pumpkins and watching “scary” movies. The funny thing is that now these things have become new traditions in our house. ———————————————————— I’ve noticed a lot of social posts about the candy 🍭 🍫🍬 . You’ve probably seen them. Some are promoting #healthiertreats while others are encouraging #noguilt, for kids and adults alike, around eating candy. As a dietitian and a mom who has celebrated this holiday with toddlers, preschoolers and now school-aged kids, I have some thoughts: 1️⃣ What you choose to feed your children on Halloween (and every day) is up to you. You know what your little ones need to be healthy and happy. 2️⃣ What and how many treats you offer/allow varies based on their age, food allergies and other factors. 3️⃣ It’s okay to have some Halloween ground rules. (We don’t eat candy while trick-or-treating.) 4️⃣ Halloween candy is one more way of teaching delayed gratification, sharing and other values. 5️⃣ Getting protein and fiber in them before enjoying the treats can help stave off Halloween melt downs and sugar crashes. I can’t wait to see pictures of your costumes. Check my stories later tonight or tomorrow for our costume pics. Swipe over for our front yard decor.
Do you like bitter vegetables like radicchio and arugula? Better yet, do you incorporate them into your meals at home? Cruciferous veggies (think Brussels sprouts, radishes, kale, broccoli, cabbage and more) are rich in #glucosinolates. This sulfur-containing compound gives these vegetables their bitter flavor, but also is responsible for their impressive health benefits. This 5 ingredient chicken salad features my favorite cruciferous veggie, radicchio. I also added celery leaves as an alternative to chopped celery stalk. What is your favorite cruciferous vegetable?
